Moon Bloodgood has opened up about her character's mindset on Falling Skies.
The Terminator Salvation star revealed that Anne feels responsible for the deaths of her husband and son, TV Line reports.
"I feel guilty because I don't have any sort of physical reminder of him - I don't have any memento - so I feel like a bad mum," Bloodgood said of her character. "I also feel guilty that I'm alive, because my backstory is that I was actually at the hospital when the [alien] attack happened. My husband and son were at home, and because of that separation they died and I lived."
The actress went on to tease Anne's blossoming relationship with Tom (Noah Wyle).
"We wanted to be really careful about not having a lot of romance between Tom and Anne, strictly because they both have spouses that they lost not that recently, and his kids are still alive, and you didn't want them to seem disrespectful of the life they had before," Bloodgood said.
She continued: "[The intimacy] really comes later in the season, with little things like holding hands. It's always subtle and not in your face.
Falling Skies was recently renewed for a second season.
In early July, series producer Mark Verheiden revealed that he already has ideas for a second season, stating that he has long-term plans for the alien-invasion drama.
Falling Skies airs on Sundays at 10pm on TNT in the US and on Tuesdays at 9pm on FX in the UK.
