Tori Anderson opened up about how representation is key to NCIS Hawai'i.
The wait for NCIS: Hawai’i to return to CBS for Season 2 is finally almost over, and the newest show in the franchise is coming back as part of a crossover event with NCIS. Now is a good time to revisit the events of the first season and how they set up what comes next, for better or worse. According to Tori Anderson, who plays Kate Whistler, her character is in for more “better” than “worse” in her relationship with Lucy. The actress spoke with CinemaBlend about the importance of queer characters like Kate and Lucy, as well as other representation.
Season 1 of NCIS: Hawai’i arrived on DVD on September 6, so there is time before the September 19 Season 2 premiere to revisit the first batch of episodes (as well as the special features). The course of true love didn’t exactly run smooth for Kate and Lucy throughout Season 1, but they were clearly set up as a couple to root for. Kate sealed the deal in the Season 1 finale with a sweet (and slightly silly) rendition of “Make You Feel My Love” to Lucy that showed her softer, less career-driven side. Her approach was more literal than Ernie intended when he made some suggestions for reaching out to Lucy, but it worked! While there was romance elsewhere in Season 1, Kate and Lucy were set up as the most important. Fans can certainly be happy to see that the relationship will continue through Season 2 as well.
