“I believe in those two,” she says.
“These characters are just so important to him,” he reflects.
“He believes fully in what Janine is doing and the decision that she makes to step back.

Part of Janine’s journey this year will also be work on herself, both externally and internally.
It doesn’t have to get vindictive.

Williams teases, “The first [season] was getting to know the characters.
“I’m excited about some of the pairings we made this year.
Stuff that people aren’t going to expect.
We got a little sillier.”
