Following the introduction of Eleanor Miller in the fifth episode of “Orphan Black: Echoes,” Rya Kihlstedt (Eleanor) talked about Keeley Hawes in a recent interview:

Kira and Eleanor’s dynamic is just so incredible. What was it like finding that dynamic with Keeley, especially given the circumstances that your character is going through?

She’s just f-cking great. I mean, really. Keeley’s just solid, grounded. A killer actress. She always shows up ready to work and play. She’s no nonsense, and I adore her, and she makes me laugh. I showed up in Toronto and called her, because I was late to the party [joining in] episode five. I called her and was like, “Can we please have a drink? We’re married. We need to be married with history, and a child.” We met at a hotel restaurant, and I think we ended up spending three hours just talking, talking, talking. We just hit it off immediately, talking about work, life, our own lives, what we’re doing, the show. We just went in circles, and that was kind of it. It really opened up, we were always there to reach out to each other to talk notes, scripts, thoughts. “Let’s try this, let’s try that!” It really led us to play together. I was really lucky.
