A Closer Look: Nora

  

Nora finds the proof that could shatter Lindsay and Bo’s wedding – again! Hillary B. Smith explains how Nora got the evidence and why she may or may not act this time.

WEEKLY: So it’s from the graveyard to the wedding?
SMITH: Oh, yes [Bo and Lindsay} arrive the morning of Nash’s burial and tell us that they are getting married.

WEEKLY: How does Nora take the news?
SMITH: Nora probably runs out of the room and throws up (laughs).

WEEKLY: So firs the announcement, and then…
SMITH: They go to the burial, and then Nora goes and has lunch with Viki. Viki comes directly from Jessica’s, and [Nora{ says, “Bo and Lindsay are getting married.” [Viki’s] like, “What are you going to do?” There’s nothing Nora can do. Meanwhile, sitting in her pile of files, is the letter that RJ has written that Lindsay thinks she’s destroyed.

WEEKLY: Has Nora actually found the letter yet?
SMITH: She hasn’t. So there she is, sitting with this letter, and Delphina the psychic walks by and goes, “What you’re looking for is in a sea of blue.” So she looks at this blue folder and she opens it up and there it is. Everything that she has been trying to prove for a year is right there on the very eve of the wedding.

WEEKLY: What does she do now?
SMITH: She goes back to the house and she sees Clint and goes, “It’s huge. This is huge! I have to stop the wedding!”

WEEKLY: What does Clint have to say about that?
SMITH: “Let it go.” He doesn’t even want to hear it. He goes, “You’ve got to let it go. [Bo’s] found happiness. Haven’t we just learned how short life is? And finally Nora has a little tete-a-tete with Nigel. Nigel had to make this decision: “What do you do to protect the people you love?” And whatever decision you make, it’s the one you’ll have to live with for the rest of your life. And so Nora decides, “Okay, I’ve ruined his life once before, he didn’t speak to me. He’d never speak to me again.”

WEEKLY: Does she hate Lindsay that much?
SMITH: It’s not personal. It really has become her obsession. She has sat down and realized it’s not personal. It’s about justice, and the fact that everybody else has to pay the consequences of her actions, and Lindsay never has. There’s never been justice. And it’s not just that – Lindsay’s going to become Matthew’s stepmother. He is going to have her for an example: “If you work it hard enough, you don’t have to pay for any of your actions.”

WEEKLY: Nora does want Bo to be happy. She can’t work around that?
SMITH: She tries. She’s just decided that she’s going to do her best and she’s going to be the perfect hostess. Because you know, the wedding is in her house.

WEEKLY: Isn’t that fun?
SMITH: Yes. Thank you, Matthew (laughs). And then the wedding starts, and they start talking about honesty and trust, and it’s “Will she, or won’t she?”
