When asked how she felt about being nominated again, Linsey told the publication, “It’s been a while. I haven’t submitted in a few years, but I got a little peer pressured. Tamara Braun[Ava; also nominated this year] gave me a phone call. She usually does give me phone calls, and I usually say, ‘No, I don’t want to do it. I don’t feel like it.’ This year she called, and she was like, ‘You have to.’ And Paul [Telfer, Xander] had also been like, ‘You have to this year.’”

Sarah was also asked which scenes she submitted for consideration this year. She explained, “I went with one episode, because of the experience of filming it and what it felt like. It’s the episode where Xander confronts Sarah about lying about the baby and the paternity of their child. He’s like, ‘Why would you do that?’ And it’s her basically saying, ‘Here’s why I did it. I’m not saying I’m right, but here’s why.’ I just loved that. Neither of them were right.”

The talented actress continued, “Both of them were terribly wrong. Sarah just explained, ‘This is why I did this really bad thing. It’s bad, and I understand it, but here’s why. It’s because you’re bad.’ I think the reason I loved [the episode] is that I’ve been very protective about Sarah’s relationship with Xander. I think that Sarah and Xander have something so special. So, of course, it was going to [be] scenes between them and it was going to be something hugely emotional. I loved the way those scenes felt when Paul and I performed them. We were very careful about how the scenes were going to go. We wanted them to be in control. We didn’t want them losing it and screaming at each other, because, at the end of the day, they’re just mad that they can’t be together.”
