I read that you filmed different versions of that final moment where Shiv does or doesn’t see Logan pat Tom on the back. Do you remember what was originally scripted?
SARAH SNOOK: I do, because I just pulled it up. [Reading from the script on her phone] “Frank says, ‘I’ve eating a belly full of you.’ Roman heads toward…They’re in their own private worlds of pain. Then from outside comes Tom. ‘Shiv, you okay?’ Before he can get in, he passes Logan out on the balcony. They catch each other’s eye. There’s a nod. Shiv sees it. She crumples emotionally. Tom heads on in, to find the three siblings together, a hand held here, a bit of support there, broken, but together.”
That’s the end, but then whatever else is improvised from there. And we did versions where she didn’t see him. The hand thing had to come outside the building rather than in the room with them. And so, we did versions where she didn’t see through the door, didn’t clock it. And we did a version where there was more soliciting of Roman to Gerri and the rest of the top tier. I think there was one where Kendall did a bit. I don’t know, but what we wanted to find really was the siblings, I guess, united. But in that take, it felt natural, because Tom had closed in with physical proximity. I was like, “Get away from me. I can’t hide my hurt to your face convincingly. So I’ll pretend the hurt is from something else.” (x)
