And whats next for Alex and Maggie?
ANDREW KREISBERG:We had discussed it a little bit last season.
She just seemed like the character to do it with.
We never really explored too much [of] her social life.
What was that conversation like with Chyler once you guys decided on this storyline?
We just sat down and we said, Heres what were planning for this season.
We had figured out a lot of it.
In a way, life imitates art.
For Alex, this just seemed like a natural fit given who she was.
As I said, it was a way to explain who she was and how she came to be.
It seemed like an exciting world that was opening up for us.
Can you talk about how Alex will be handling this new development moving forward?
Its all coming as a bit of a shock to her.
I think moving forward, its baby steps.
Theres a big emotional breakthrough in episode 6, which were really excited about.
Thats what happens with Alex, that she has these very strong feelings for this woman.
Watching that relationship have its twists and turns makes up the Alex storyline for the foreseeable future.
How will Kara react to this?
She is obviously going to be extremely open to it.
Karas reaction is interesting.
It only makes the sisters closer.
What does Alexs relationship with Maggie look like?
What milestones will we see for their dynamic?
We love the work that Chyler and Floriana are doing.
They are amazing together.
Well see what happens as the show continues.
Are you going to continue down that path?
Its never all just one thing.
This show is not suddenly going to be this dark, depressing meditation on life.
Its not built that way.
For Alex, this isnt a realization that is coming without challenges.
Its not always going to be easy.
Sometimes its going to be heartbreaking, sometimes its going to be hilarious.
Hopefully, itll be something that the audience is as proud of as we are.
No, I didnt know that was a thing.
Obviously having Greg [Berlanti] as a leader and a guiding force has been invaluable.
Supergirlairs Mondays at 8 p.m.
ET on The CW.
