Q: How do you feel about Beth’s journey this season?

Susan Kelechi Watson: Every season I feel like I learn a little bit more about Beth. This season I feel like I’m learning who she is when it comes to family. Who she is to her kids. Who she is to her husband. And who she is in terms of finding her true self and as a woman. All those things are coming together this season in a really cool way.

Q: Where would you like Beth’s storyline to go in season five?

Susan Kelechi Watson: I would love to see more of Beth and Randall before they got married, like after college. The time period when they were courting one another to be married. What it was like for them in their 20s and in love. I really had fun shooting the episode when Randall first proposed to Beth. I love that era of them. I would love to see more of that.
