Ifeachor, for her part, addressed her experience on the show months later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was just such a joy and a pleasure to play Dr. Heather Collins and to know that my character has been so phenomenally well-received. It just blew me away,\u201d Ifeachor told <em>Us<\/em> in September 2025. \u201cI don\u2019t know where she will probably be on the weekend of next season, but I do know where I\u2019m going to be, which is on my next project, which is just so amazing. But I take the teachings that I\u2019ve learned from playing Dr. Heather Collins \u2014 playing this character who goes through such a traumatic event and still shows up day by day for other people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued: \u201c[No one] stops to ask if she\u2019s OK, if she needs outing, if she must run away. I feel as a lady, sometimes we feature a number of emotional labor without even knowing it. I\u2019ve learned that through this character, so I wouldn\u2019t change that. This experience has been so life-changing, really.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ifeachor admitted she didn\u2019t know where her character could be after the events of season 1.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are the tough stories. Do I feel she is going to get out of this? Perhaps. Again, if she is in a position to be secure, she\u2019ll rejoice. Where would she go next?\u201d she added. \u201cThe thing about playing a personality that\u2019s so splendidly nuanced and well-written \u2014 there was a lot to mine \u2014 is that it\u2019s a story that would go anywhere. At the identical time, I&#8217;ll leave it as much as the viewer to make a decision where she could be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ganesh, for her part, spoke to <em>Us<\/em> shortly before her departure was announced.
