I think love is a great catalyst for many characters to further the story or their own growth.
I think the good stories are those where the character decides to break away and do something different.
I just thought that Adrienne [Shelly] wrote a great character [for Waitress]. It really was all on the page.
I personally adore origin stories - they're so intriguing, learning what shaped and formed a character.
I think it's quite common and realistic. There are many stories like this [in Waitress]. [Jenna, my character] marriage looks really horrible up on the screen but I think there are a lot of people in bad relationships who wake up and think to themselves: "Wow, how did I end up here? Why am I still here and so unhappy and not satisfied with my life?"
