In season one, she descended upon Shivs wedding to make caustic remarks about her daughters new husband.
Of course, the nuptials are overshadowed byLogans last-minute dealto, potentially, sell Waystar Royco.
It sounds terrible, but shes looking to the future.
She wants to look after her new husband.
She thinks they might be better off that way.
This is what shes argued to herself.
They have been very unhappy people.
Theyve never had the real power that they need; theyve got money without power.
I think thats a formula for real unhappiness.
On the logistical side, what was it like to film that scene?
I was merrily at my wedding, and didnt have it up my scheming sleeve that this would happen.
It was going to be an in-the-flesh scene, but that would have been really hard to do.
In the nature of these things, its easier to phone it in.
I was listening to the whole thing, speaking when I spoke, cutting off when I cut off.
Shes being evasive anyway.
She doesnt want to get into it.
She knows shes fucked them over and the shorter the conversation, the better.
Theres a real panic that if she cant be a player, shell drown altogether.
She seems to have such conflicting feelings about giving over custody in the original divorce negotiation.
But weve seen over three seasons that nobody can win against Logan.
So Carolines clung onto what she feels is the minimal power to keep her children in the picture.
She thinks shes done a self-sacrificial thing.
Its worth remembering what shes had to deal with and her defense mechanisms one of them is laughter.
She pretends to be having fun.
Thats her way of going, Lets not talk about nasty things.
Theres certainly mutual aggression between her and Shiv.
She maybe wrongly attributes to Shiv some of the steel her father has.
I dont think shereallybelieves that, but there is a kind of taunt in there.
So again, Carolines upstaged by her ex-husband and feels like shes a pawn in a mans game.
Theres more trophy-wife-ish behavior.
She comes from a family where titles and land and things are inherited by the older son.
Shes fairly insignificant in her own childhood, and that has a deep effect on people.
I think she does think of herself as a bartered bride.
Caroline gets married in a white coat with this floral embroidery.
That was down to me, really.
It just seemed appropriate.
Theyve got embroidered coats and beautiful fabrics.
I thought thats what Caroline would wear.
She always seems to be quite dressed up, and to have taken care of what she looks like.
Back in season one, Caroline met Tom and described him as very plausible.
That meeting took place after I had finished.
I dont know how much Caroline knows about whats going on there.
Maybe this one is going to grow into something else maybe something horribly evil, but.
I did not pick my costumes for that.
Well, hernearly plucked-away eyebrowswere quite striking.That was pretty much my idea.
Ridley Scott had a similar idea, and also talked about having a monobrow.
