Promo & Post Mortem Interviews
Is there capability for forgiveness there?
That's the question of the season; both of them are asking themselves that. Where we catch up with Annalise in the premiere versus where we left her in the finale, she was so angry in the finale and hurt and shocked. That's probably when she hired that guy to go find Frank. And of course we saw her struggle on the phone with whether she could give the final order to “take care” of him so to speak. That is a struggle for Annalise. When she said to Bonnie, “I’m not a killer,” she really believes that. It's one thing that she can really hold onto about herself after having done so many bad things.
Is she now trying to be a better person?
I don't know if I would say she's trying to be a better person; she's trying to get back to normal. It's not about her image or anything to her. It's about feeling bad and realizing that she and all of these kids are tied together. Their fates are tied and in order for her to feel good, they need to feel good. So it's kind of a push-pull of whether she is doing this out of concern for them or out of concern for herself. I think it's both of those things.
What can you say to fans that will be upset by the Connor-Oliver breakup?
It is always a challenge for me to do what the audience doesn't expect. Oliver said he wants to break up, but we are going to see what that looks like with the two of them. That was a very painful and a very mature decision on Oliver's part. Is it just a break they're taking or are they going to get back together? I will just say that yes, fans will be upset and I understand that. I am upset too; I love them more than anyone. But they are going to be in each other’s lives in a very major way for the rest of the season. So just hold on, don't get too depressed and see where it goes.
Will Famke Janssen return as Eve now that she’s starring in The Blacklist spinoff?
Yes. Luckily before she went on to her new show, we got her back. She is going to be in an upcoming episode very early in the season. Eve and Annalise fans should definitely watch that.

But mystery of that person’s identity pales in comparison to the twist at the end of the episode: A dead body is carted away from Annalise’s house, which is engulfed in flames. Who’s under that sheet? This season, Murder will be pulling its own version of Ten Little Indians to reveal the identity of the deceased, executive producer Pete Nowalk tells EW.
“Every episode, we will reveal one more character on the night of the house fire that’s alive,” says Nowalk. “So every week, basically we’re crossing a character off the list in terms of if you’re playing bingo at home, you can cross one of your favorite characters off, or you have to wait for a few weeks.”
While Nowalk is staying mum on who’s dying — though clearly it’s not Annalise — he reveals, “it is someone who is pivotal to the show.”
Suffice it to say, the stress of being in the dark about their characters’ fates took a toll on the cast throughout the filming of season 3. “It was really hard not knowing,” says Aja Naomi King. “Every week, when we were doing the table read, we’d learn that someone was safe. You’re happy for that person, they’re still here in our tight-knit family, but sad for whoever might not be there.”

“I think that Connor just wants Oliver to survive,” Falahee said on the panel, explaining why Connor doesn’t want Oliver to work for Annalise. “He wants him to get out…having become complicit with these murders and having gone through what he’s gone through, I think he found a man that he loves and can hold onto and found his footing, and to then have it taken away from him I think is scary. He just wants good things for Oliver. But that might not happen.”
