Erika Christensen Reveals Her Pregnancy Surprise In Will Trent And Her Directorial Debut
Will Trent Season 3 has brought audiences many dramatic twists, but none as shocking as the moment when Angie (played by Erika Christensen) revealed she was pregnant. In an exclusive interview, Erika Christensen shared behind-the-scenes details about this emotional scene, as well as her first experience sitting next to the director.
The Thai Twist That Pushed Fans to ‘Explode’
In the pilot episode of season 3, Angie unexpectedly announced that she was pregnant with Will Trent (Ramón Rodríguez).
This is the moment that changed the entire plot of their already tumultuous relationship:
Will is extremely confused: After past traumas, he is not ready to be a father.
Angie is in pain: She is scared but still hopes this is an opportunity to mend things.
The audience immediately went wild on social media:
💬 “This will be canceled!”
💬 “Are they really ready to be parents?”
💬 “This is the twist I didn’t expect!”
What did Erika Christensen say about the ‘Pregnancy’ scene?
Erika revealed that the scene revealing the good news was carefully prepared to achieve the most emotional effect:
“It was a moment when Angie was very fragile. She had experienced many disappointments in love and blamed herself for not being good enough for Will. When Angie said it, I wanted to consciously feel the fear and hope intertwined in her.”
The actress also shared that, to get into character, she had to remind herself of Angie’s trademark past – which made the character even more eager to be loved and have a perfect family.
Will Trent’s First Directing Experience
In addition to her role as Angie, Erika Christensen also marked her first time directing an episode of Will Trent.
“I’ve always wanted to try my hand at directing. When I was asked to direct the episode, I was both nervous and excited. It was a great experience to work with a team that I love.”
The episode directed by Erika focused on the main investigation, while also delving into the characters’ deep emotions – including the scene where Angie reveals her pregnancy.
Christensen said the biggest challenge was:
Balancing acting and directing the crew.
Maintaining the emotional tone of the story.
Creating a comfortable medium for the other actors to shine.
What Will Will Trent Season 4 Be Like After the Pregnancy Twist?
Although the producers have not revealed the full script, behind-the-scenes sources said:
Will have to face the biggest decision of his life: Be a father or continue to hide?
Angie will have a health incident that threatens both her and her young children.
Tensions within the investigation team will escalate when Will’s private story is revealed.
Audiences predict that Will Trent season 4 will be a challenging film, both breaking the dragon’s legacy and opening up a new journey for both main characters.
Why is the Sword Carving Separated from Erika Christensen?
Erika affirms that the episode is not important to the character Angie but to herself:
“I am proud to have had the opportunity to tell this story. It is a big milestone in my career – both as an actor and as a director.”
Angie’s fans will surely never forget her eyes, both scared and happy, when she said, “I’m pregnant.”
