ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How do you feel about this gun storyline airing in the wake of the Orlando shooting?
I think its so important.
When you started planning for this episode, was there any pushback from the connection or others involved?
No, there really wasnt.
There was concern about how we handled it.
Once everyone heard what we were thinking, everyone was on board right away.
Are you intending to make a statement there?
And there was no fear at all from the online grid, even about that?
Literally there was not one moment that we got pushback on.
They were supportive the whole way.
We did really copious amounts of research to ensure everything we were showing was rooted in reality.
The entire lockdown procedure is taking from procedures at various high schools and school districts around the country.
Its all very, very real and all real stuff thats happening somewhere in the country probably today.
Almost all, in our research.
What was the hardest scene to write?
What would have happened if the janitor hadnt interrupted?
Maybe it all wouldve gotten sorted out.
I personally dont think Nick ever really intended to hurt anyone else.
He was always much more in danger of hurting himself.
Once the dust settles from all this, is there hope for them?
I certainly think you cant look at those two and not believe that they really love each other.
So, for me, theres always hope when theres real love afoot.
Are we supposed to assume that Emma and Jesus really did have sex?
I dont know what they did; I wasnt there.
But they left campus with a plan to have sex and then they came back.
It seems like they might have.
What can we look forward to now that the moms know the truth about Callie and Brandons relationship?
The secrets out, and that makes everything different.
The Fostersairs Mondays at 8 p.m. on Freeform.
