One of my favourite acting stories of the show is actually what happens right after this flashback. We shot Gina’s side first, and Gina’s line is, I always knew you had it in you, when [Nate] says that he’s working the other side of the law now. But when I was working with Gina, I said to her that the subtext of that line is, I always knew you were in love with me. So I said, “This is the subtext.” And then we did the scene and she really nailed the performance. When we turned around on Tim, his first take was good but it wasn’t great. So I whispered into Gina’s ear, “Don’t say the line; say the subtext.” So off-camera, she said, “I always knew you were in love with me.” […] And it’s so honest. It was such an honest moment.

It’s been a treat watching this very special group of actors bond off camera. You can see on the show how that has translated into some cool subtle stuff between the characters. It’s the kind of thing you can’t write and you can’t direct. It’s a chemistry that only the actors can bring.

-Beth Riesgraf: So this is my idea..So Parker starts to morph. And, all of a sudden, she’s combined with one of the most deadly animals on the whole planet, and…it’s a shark. Parker turns into a shark, and she grows a fin.
-John Rogers: Parker becomes Sharker.
-Beth: Oh! You got it!!! That’s what I came up with!
-Bodyguard1: That was her idea.
-Beth: I thought it could be..
-Bodyguard1: That was her idea.
-Beth:…Sharker.
(cut to executive producer Mark Rosking, talking to camera)
-Marc Roskin:…I don’t know if it’d be the same with…a half-Beth, half-shark saving a bunch of orphans from Serbia.

Our show is about a group of broken people who, when they come together, form a kind of dysfunctional family. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. - Dean Devlin

You guys are the most honorable people I have ever met in my life. You’ve become my family. My only family. I won’t forget that. - Nate Ford
