“Oliver is a wordsmith and he’s anachronistic and, you know, he’s a stickler for rules,” he said. “He’s also evolving in such a wonderful way.”
Mabius also explained how his character getting married to Shane, played by Kristin Booth, signaled a shift.
“The real work begins when you get married, right? The honeymoon period is over. What do we do when you share not just a roof with someone, but a life with someone?” he asked. “We find ourselves acting in ways we could never have imagined. That’s what we see.”
Mabius added, “I think we spend a lot of time creating our own misery and I think that’s what we see each, Shane and Oliver coming to terms with. We create our own obstacles being unbending or having our set of rules and then we spend all this time trying to dig ourselves out of the hole that we create for ourselves, rather than just trusting the [that] thing that brought Shane and Oliver together [is] the thing that’s gonna get them through this.”
