Meanwhile, Tabitha (Catalina Sandino Moreno) tries to adjust to being back in town and all that comes with that, while her daughter, Julie (Hannah Cheramy), continues to struggle to cope with her trauma. Jade (David Alpay) tries to put together the pieces and get closer to some answers.

Watch the full interview and read the transcript below. New episodes of FROM air Sundays on MGM+.




***Edited for length and clarity***

SCIFI VISION:   To start off, what I want to talk about, and I know you probably don't know an answer to this anyway, it's more your own opinion, but Victor obviously survived as a kid for, I don't know, lots of years on its own. How do you think that was possible? I mean, was it dumb luck? Did the monsters let him survive? Was it all the Boy in White? I'm just kind of curious what you think about it.

SCOTT McCORD:   I can say, I feel like there are no definitive answers to that. I'll start with that. But I think that, in terms of what I've always - I mean, I felt that the Boy in White was definitely guiding him at first, but I think that there was a passage.

I've always worked with this idea that there was a passage of time where it was just him and that Victor started to develop in the way he is. I think it was all from being alone, where he really became kind of his own creature of that place. He adapted to that place in his own way, but there was a point where, clearly, the Boy in White disappeared. He didn't see him after a while, you know?

SCIFI VISION:   Yeah, so he had to figure it out somehow.

SCOTT McCORD:   Yeah.

SCIFI VISION:   Right. Last time you told me that when he interacted with Tabitha, she was sort of this mother figure, and it would kind of trigger memories and make him regress more. So, my question is, having his father there now, could that happen with that, or is it going to help him grow more? Or could it be a combination?

SCOTT McCORD:   I think it's all the things. I think you're not - that's a great question. I feel like it does go all over the place.

You know, I think I've been talking today about how there's this aspect of it this season where, with Victor, with the task at hand that he has now, of just really trying to delve into these memories and start trying to save this situation. Henry becomes a big part of that, and it becomes about saving him.

And I think while there's this great responsibility and guilt about this lifetime that's lost between them, I think that there're moments where there's regression. I think that there's also moments where I could feel when we were doing it too, that Victor was just naturally stepping up and even growing up, I think, in certain ways, because he's taking charge of this situation and trying to save everyone.

SCIFI VISION:   Talk about filming the emotional reunion with Robert Joy.

SCOTT McCORD:   That was a great. I mean, it was an amazing day that we did that. What helped was I had only shot one other scene with the wonderful Robert Joy prior to that. So, we weren't still familiar with each other as people, as actors, as workers, you know, coworkers.

And that particular scene, as loaded as it was, it was like, it was one of those things where we were separated for the whole day while we shot that scene. So, I think we just tried to give it, as you always do, but we're always trying to achieve as much truth as we can in that moment. Yeah, you know, I had the luck of being on the other side of that beautiful actor, and every time he said Victor's name, as soon as we - you know, there's only two lines in the scene.

SCIFI VISION:   Yeah.

SCOTT McCORD:   But it was just so loaded. Every time he said it, it was just like, it just opened up this well of emotion, I think, for both of us. And it was a long shooting day, I remember; it was cold, but it was a beautifully written scene, I think. And what I love telling is that it was on the page; it only took up like a quarter of the page. It wasn't like, you know, this elaborate written out scene about what happens. So, what you're seeing is essentially what was written.

SCIFI VISION:   All right. Well, it was a great scene. I was tearing up.

Thank you so much for your time. I appreciate it, and you better get another season, and then I'll talk to you again next year.

SCOTT McCORD:   I'm hoping for it. Thanks.
