Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly caught up with Cherry Jones at the FOX 2009 Press Tour for a brief video interview.
When questioned about President Taylor’s emotional state at the start of the season, Cherry replied “I’d say she’s having TV dinners for one”, hinting that Allison became estranged from her husband (Henry Taylor) and daughter (Olivia Taylor) after the events of the Season 7 finale.
When asked if her character was a pivotal part of this season [episodes 7 and 8 are currently being filmed], she replied “I think things are about to heat up a little more for her. There’s a lot of diplomacy going on right now in my world.”
