Q: How has it been working with Katey Sagal?
Maggie: I feel like my friendship with Katey has just evolved, but our connection has remained essentially the same. We identify with each other. There’s something about the way that we are that is just really in sync. It’s so easy. With her, the challenge has much more often been how to be antagonistic with each other, or how to play it cool when what we feel is so warm. She’s such a loving, maternal person, and I’m silly and not nearly as cagey. Sometimes I feel like our first couple of takes are a little bit too warm and soft, and then we find our way. [x]

I think the truly biggest shock was losing Bill because he’s like this amazing anchor for all of us. And I think that moment in the season where we lose him is really like the Pandora’s box of all Pandora’s boxes that opens up and really things start to fly apart after that happens and it’s, you know, I think it’s exciting for our story and I think it’s very sad for us as actors to lose him. ~ Maggie Siff

Siff has formed a deep bond with her on-screen mother-in-law, Sagal. ”Katey is one of those people you sit down to talk to and you end up telling your entire life story in an hour,” she says. ”It was a quick closeness that formed between us. I have a lot of respect and admiration for her. I also feel like peers now and that she’s a real friend. We’ve kind of lived through a lot already.” [x]
