What's going on with her and Oliver? In the words of Shakespeare "Methinks the lady doth protest too much."
Cassidy Freeman: That's funny, because I did... I don't know if you know the play Measure for Measure? But I did that play and someone wrote that about me in an article. Yeah...
Oliver is the person who carries her Achilles' Heel, to be honest. He's the only man still around that she's ever shown a vulnerable side of herself to. And he knows it. When you're in a relationship with someone like that, I try and think of this in my own life too, and you give so much of yourself to someone, the relationship can end, and things can change, but you can never take back what you shared with them. And so, he's always going to know that.
And so all of these ways that he's trying to get into her pants, or get into her bed, or whatever, they seem like attempts to her, but they're really pretty manipulative. He's just trying to steal stuff. And so the play between Tess and Oliver is really fun, because you never really know what the motive is. It's almost like "Do I love my work so much, that this is what I get to do?"
Does he want to be in her bed? Maybe he does, but it wasn't for that. It was because he was just trying to get away from being caught. I think that's what adds to their fun relationship. I think that she has her eyes on a bigger prize right now. And he's kind of a back-burner. But she also knows that she's attracted to him, so she needs to draw that line very deep in the sand.
