Madeleine Madden discusses doing justice to a fan-favorite Egwene arc in The Wheel of Time season 2.
What were your thoughts when you first heard about it or read those scenes?
It forever alters the course of her life and who she is.
What conversations did you two have off-camera to make that dynamic work so well?
They were fantastic, so fantastic.
Both of us wanted to lean into it fully to show how confusing and toxic this relationship is.

But Sharon [Gilham], who is our head of costuming, is fantastic, just a genius.
And also leaning into when it was uncomfortable!
And I wanted to keep it that way because thats also what the character would be feeling.
By the end of the season, we really see that Egwene is strong.
She doesnt need to prove that to anyone anymore.
She knows that within herself.
Wait for the damane part!
Its relayed to men by Egwene.
The support that Ive seen online and peoples praise has just been really, really wonderful.
