Let’s talk Sarah’s reveal in the series premiere and how her relationship with her parents will be the rest of this season.
“Smallville is not the town in which it once was. Whenever you see something slowly lose hope after a while, you slowly start to lose that hope in yourself. Whenever it comes to her parents, watching her parents lose that hope, not only in themselves, but the town, Sarah starts to lose hope in herself and her future.
As many daughters do, she butt heads with her father. She goes toe to toe with her dad and her mom through this rebellious state because she doesn’t want to be like her mom. She doesn’t want to be like her dad. She wants to be Sarah and she doesn’t want to lose hope anymore. She’s really fighting against everything that has made her feel as though she’s lost hope. Unfortunately, through no fault of their own, her parents have been one of the reasons in which she’s felt as though she’s lost hope. You do see her struggling with her parents, but through that, you get to see the relationship kindle and then die out as many teenage/parent relationships do.”
Do you think Sarah is trying to find her own home this season?
“I don’t think she’s trying to find it. I think she’s trying to rebuild it brick by brick. So, I don’t know. I know for a fact that Sarah is really trying to rebuild and get back what she and her family once had many years ago.”
Do you personally think that it will happen? That she’ll get it back and everything will be perfect?
“I think where there’s a will there’s a way. Whenever you see someone with this, just undying wish, this consistent pursuing of rebuilding, this fire, you can’t help, you can’t help but wish, ‘Wow, I wish that I had that fire in me’. I think she doesn’t allow that fire to go away, whether that’s using it to rebuild her family, using it to rebuild herself. I definitely think that where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
