Coughlan told Shondaland that her character is "entering into a woman era this time" in the upcoming season.

"Luke [Newton] and I sharing this experience together has been great because he's someone who completely gets what you're going through, and we can kind of be a united front on stuff," she said. "We can talk about scenes that we're nervous about or whatnot. Obviously, we've had scenes together since the beginning, but it's definitely different this time around."
