Question: How has filming been during the coronavirus pandemic?

Yannick Bisson: Much like the differences that you see all around you, our entire crew had to be outfitted with masks, observe social distancing, and make use of hand sanitizer stations throughout the day. At the all-important moment we would roll cameras, the actors would remove their masks and the touch-up crew wore a shield for added protection. The crew as a whole was divided into pods. Production office, prep crew (art department, construction, paint, set decoration) were all separated and swab tested on different days.

Hélène Joy: It has been challenging to say the least. I felt for all of the departments whose jobs were made a lot harder by all of the protocols. No one loved it, but we did it and we stayed very safe.

Shanice Banton: Filming during the pandemic has been different of course, since we've had to implement many new rules to keep safe, but everyone caught on really quickly and we still found so much joy and laughter through it all.

Question: Were any changes made to scripts due to the pandemic?

Yannick Bisson: There were some minor changes in how many background performers were added, proximity and touching of principal actors. Things like kissing were implied as opposed to actual.

Hélène Joy: Yes, no kissing scenes this year. Apologies to the fans!

Question: What can we expect in Season 14 for your character?

Yannick Bisson: The last couple of episodes see pretty much all of our main characters in some degree of turmoil -- things that will likely affect them for good. The rest of the season has lots to offer as well albeit more of our usual, staple episodes. We do have some big baddies returning and Murdoch and Ogden take a trip into the wilderness that gets pretty interesting. We wanted to give the Murdoch fans what they've become accustomed to over the years... that much more given the delayed return and this nutty time we are living in.

Hélène Joy: There was a lot of fun this year. Julia is very involved with William and his cases and even when they are not on the job, and they go adventuring they seem to end up in the middle of something.

Shanice Banton: In Season 14, we can expect…the unexpected from Ms. Hart. But besides Hart's actions, prepare to see a little more into her personal life.

Question: What's going on with your character's family life this season?

Yannick Bisson: This is what will be turning literally upside down towards the end of the season. It seems William's past will come walking right into station No 4.

Hélène Joy: There is a story development at the end of this season that will shock many and will most definitely change William and Julia's life together forever.

Question: Any new inventions this season?

Yannick Bisson: One thing that stood out was the way in which William uses the magnets inside of an old telephone to discern where deadly currents are coming from in order to save Julia's life at the hands of a very big bad guy.

Question: Which historical characters will we see this season?

Yannick Bisson: The season opens with a traveling Vaudeville show and Midway coming to town. We get to meet a young Stan Laurel, Charlie Chaplin and an even younger Buster Keaton. I got to direct this episode and it was a blast adding in the beginnings of black-and-white film to our storytelling.

Question: Any new sets or costumes this season?

Hélène Joy: We always have extraordinary new costumes every year and this is no different. We had some fun new sets indoor and outdoor. One that sticks out is a set of an underground dungeon chambers that of course we all get trapped in. Also William's forest tramping outfit is definitely new and a departure from the usual suit.

Shanice Banton: A lot of new costumes for Ms. Hart and I'm absolutely loving them! Can't wait for you all to see.

Question: What would you like to see your character do in a future season?

Yannick Bisson: I think a trip to Quebec City would be awesome.

Hélène Joy: It would be great to see Julia involved in the early civil rights movements.

Shanice Banton: I would like to see my character interact with a family member/s

Anya Taylor Joy as Beth Harmon in THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT

Question: What TV series are you currently watching?

Yannick Bisson: MONEY HEIST, OZARK, THE LAST DANCE, THE MANDALORIAN

Hélène Joy: I watch a lot of stand-up comedy mostly, but also British comedy series.. AFTERLIFE, LOVE LIFE, BACK TO LIFE and the occasional Australian series...RAKE, THE LETDOWN, STATELESS.

Shanice Banton: THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT

Kerry Washington as Olivia Pope in SCANDAL

Question: If you could play any character in the history of television, who would it be?

Hélène Joy: Phoebe from FRIENDS.

Shanice Banton: Olivia Pope from SCANDAL.
