What is her first priority when we return?
ADELAIDE KANE:Getting to Scotland and establishing herself in her home country starting from scratch pretty much.
How does that change things?
Her life doesnt even really begin until Scotland.
From the pilot until now, whats the biggest change you see in Mary?
Shes a lot more self-sufficient.
Shes not as weak as she used to be.
Shes learned to fend for herself in a way that she was completely incapable of doing initially.
Does having Catherine back as regent at all help Mary?
I mean, I dont think so, to be honest.
Catherine has always been about number one.
At this point, Marys on her own.
Theyre one of my favorite duos on the show.
How is Marys return to Scotland going to affect Catherine?
It will be interesting to see how that plays out.
Does Mary at all want revenge on Narcisse?
I think she would quite happily drown Narcisse in a river if it wouldnt be devastating for Lola.
She doesnt like him.
She doesnt think hes a good person.
Shes just waiting for an excuse to cut him from the herd.
If I were her, I wouldve had him decapitated a long time ago.
[Laughs]
Poor Lola is stuck in England.
Lola also tends to just do Lola.
Lola is not the best lady in waiting, lets be super real here.
[Laughs] Lola likes to do what Lola needs to do to make herself happy.
But shes straight-up chilling in England.
Its one of the most dangerous ones she couldve gotten herself into.
When we pick up, is Mary still fighting any feelings she might have for Gideon?
Im sure it feels like a betrayal of Francis memory.
But when you think about it, thats quite normal and quite healthy.
Of course youre going to move on and your heart will heal.
Thats very hard for her, but that is how it goes in real life.
Shes going to have other love interests.
It wouldnt be believable if she was.
Maybe theyll have a flirtation, maybe later down the line shell have a fling with someone.
There are lots of different ways of being in love and loving and of having relationships.
What are you most looking forward to fans seeing this season?
We got some really cool stuff coming up.
We have brand new sets and theyre crazy cool.
And weve completely revamped Marys wardrobe as well to be more fitting with Scotland.
Its like a brand-new show.
Reignairs Mondays at 8 p.m.
