Greg Berlanti On How Floriana Lima's New Status Affects Supergirl
More new from the Television Critics Association Summer press tour is trickling out and this time Arrowverse super-producer Greg Berlanti was asked about the status of the relationship between Alex Danvers (Chyler Leigh) and Maggie Sawyer (Floriana Lima) now that Lima has moved from regular to recurring. Berlanti commented on whether or not fans will notice the lack of screen time for the character:
I don't think so. Any character people love is not there as much as people want them there. [But] from my perspective, we will use her as much as we can.
As for why the change in Lima's status:
She's wonderful on the show, and she's got some real ardent fans, as she should…. We wanted more of her, but she's got other things in the hopper, other things she wants to consider. We'd love to have her back as much as possible.
As for how much of the Danvers / Sawyer relationship we'll see next season:
We got into [that romance] wanting to tell the story of Alex, because she is a lead on the show. And no matter what, we want to continue exploring Alex's romantic life. As much as actors want to come play with us, [we want to do that] as much as we can.
Supergirl returns on October 9th to the CW.
