Justified - Season 3 - Joelle Carter Interview

Thanks to Philomina for the heads up.

1. In season 2 Ava had some scenes with Helen Givens who advised her to stay out of her man's criminal activities. Still Ava chose to get involved. Why do you think she did that? She seemed to respect Helen so much.

I really miss Helen on the show, and I know Ava does too. Ava loved and admired Helen but Helen and Arlo where in a very different relationship than Ava and Boyd. Arlo was always a loose cannon and Boyd is a very controlled time bomb. I think when you’re in love, you can justify just about anything and Ava fell in love with Boyd in season two.

2. In our last interview you said there is always a chance for love in Ava's life. Now that Boyd and Ava found each other do you think there is also a chance for happiness for them?

I sure hope so! I love their slow journey to really finding each other. Boyd is like no other man in Ava's life. He is so kind and present for Ava. He puts her first and loves her. This may be the support Ava needs to find out what she is really capable of in life.

3. Boyd went back to his criminal ways and Ava accepts that. But how far is she willing to go? Are they going to be a little bit like Bonnie and Clyde?

Walton (Goggins) loves this story line – he says it is so poetic and I agree with him. Two people from such violent pasts finding love at this stage in the game … I don’t think it’s ever existed on TV before. You will be surprised how far Ava might go to support her man and his new dreams for the future. The show writers told me this season is about the character's crossing lines they have mentioned they probably never would. Bonnie and Clyde watch out here come Ava and Boyd!
