The most mysterious character on “The Good Wife” is slinky investigator Kalinda Sharma (Archie Panjabi) — but a close second may be FBI Special Agent Lana Delaney (Jill Flint), who’s been playing cat and mouse — not to mention footsie — with Kalinda since Season 1.
Kalinda’s had a slew of female flames in impossibly tight clothes (Kelli Giddish’s Sophia; Jordana Spiro’s Jenna; Lili Taylor’s Donna), but her chemistry with Lana has always been particularly charged.
And now, the Fed wants more from her on-again/off-again lover — like feelings.
For the 411 on Lana, The Post called Flint on the New Mexico set of NBC’s “The Night Shift,” where she’s a regular as Dr. Jordan Alexander.
当初她试镜这个角色就嗅到KL有暧昧
JF:第一场,和K的对手戏,嗅到L语调中的调情意味~
这或许是我得到角色的原因~~
How was Lana written back in Season 1?
In my first scene, Kalinda, as usual, came to me for information. I looked at her and said something like, “Well, see you around.” There was something slightly flirtatious about what Lana said and when I was in the audition I asked, “Have these two ever slept together? Is there something between them?”
Maybe that’s what got me the job [laughs].
Jill Flint提到E08中 Archie第一次放下头发
在这两只的关系中非常具有意义!
关于Kalinda的变化,问到是否有受到Lana的影响,K似乎更open up more
JF还提到两人呷酒的时候
Up until the current season, what they said to each other has been fairly neutral, or work-related — unlike their body language. How much of that sexual tension was in the scripts?
What’s interesting with the show as a whole is what’s not on the page. Archie and I work a lot with what’s between the lines. Everything between us is a look, a touch, a small moment. This season you see Archie take her hair down for the first time, which is very symbolic of what’s happening between them. This was a big deal.
Could it be Lana’s influence? She’s been opening up more.
Information used to be a sexual currency between them. Lana had a little bit more feelings for Kalinda, but she had her own barriers and issues. Now you really do see for the first time a shift where Kalinda is working from my bed, her hair is down — it’s an entirely different thing. There they are, sipping their wine in their matching satin outfits [laughs]. I don’t want to speak for Archie but I think it’s been a lot of fun for her as well, because you hardly ever see Kalinda’s vulnerable side, if at all.
