She wished the new cast well, hoping they would find success in their roles. In the same interview with Parade, she explained that her role was largely reduced.

"And so when the TV show came around, I said, ‘No, thank you.’ "

However, she had discussions with the show's creators. These were Peter Berg and Jason Katims. Due to this, she was persuaded to accept the part with the promise of a more complex character arc.
