It's great that Warren [Leight] and the writers have given Olivia so many opportunities for growth--changing partners, becoming a sergeant, and the one that tops them all, becoming a mother. That's what this is for me: another chance to grow and stretch. I really like how the character has become so much more thoughtful, more empathic and nuanced, and I can't wait to see where I get to take her next. And life is about embracing change, isn't it?”
