ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What would you say is Angelas mindset right now?
I literally cant imagine being in her position.LELA LOREN:Its a nightmare for her.
Right now, I would describe Angela as kind of like an armored car.
He was married with kids, and hes like, Im going to take care of that.
Just give me a chance.
She knows that he has a body count under him.
But he promised he had to do that to get out of the game.
And she cant quite get him then because she doesnt have evidence and she lets it slide.
She has all of her reinforcements up.
So she isnothaving a good time.
How is she dealing with this emotionally?
Is it only a matter of time before she boils over?
She is kind of alone in all of this.
Its not like shes getting any support from her co-workers.I think Angela knows how to not boil over.
I think thats what she excels at keeping it all stuffed down.
Theres a cost that comes with it, but her survival depends on that.
So she cant indulge in how she really feels.
Like, she cant let herself fall apart.
Shes not in an encouraging or supportive work environment.
Shes at the mercy of these guys who take potshots at her.
She has to work in the shadows and be behind-the-scenes.
Angela, who is a control freak, has to relinquish control.
She has to watch other people navigate that, which is really hard for her.
And she takes that as he is showing his emotional cards, which is motive.
Its like the expectation of,Oh mygod, when is she going to find out?
And how far is she going to get before the awful truth happens?
Or does she find out?
And what would she do if she did?The gun kicks up her instinct of thats too easy.
It doesnt make sense to her.
The realist in me looks back and hes really going to have to change.
One of them is going to have to change.
Because the way its set up, it isnt just like they have some dysfunction.
Theyve got two very different fundamental points of integrity that are at odds.
Being a murdering drug dealer is a non-negotiable for Angela.
What do you enjoy about that dynamic?
The thing is, its going to be a bad day for one of them.
I cant imagine Angela and Kanan going to get ice cream ever.
Its probably doomsday, but that would definitely be interesting.
And she has to deal with it.
Powerairs Sunday nights at 9 p.m.
