Sarah Shahi Is Busy Playing God on ‘Paradise’ Lots of good gabi insightsssss like: You learn a little about how she’s an orphan, and that’s how she got into palliative care. Both her parents died when she was fairly young. And she also had a gambling habit. So I’ve painted this picture of a young woman, who is now a woman, who maybe didn’t always make the best choices as a teen and young adult, but eventually got on the straight and narrow. With Sinatra, I think it was a rather difficult choice because essentially, Sinatra asked her to give up her entire life and come and work for only her. That’s it: You have no more autonomy, you are mine. Obviously, Sinatra made Gabriela a deal she couldn’t refuse. Sinatra then letting Gabriela in on the state of the world and what was to come, I think made her realize this really was her only chance to escape. Also as a therapist, she’s people-pleasing. You’re listening to people and trying to help them find solutions. You have to keep your own opinions out of things, right? So I think she’s the kind of person who, behind closed doors and if ever given the opportunity to let her guard down or to tap into what she feels, there is a well of stuff inside. But given what she does and how she has to serve other people, that’s not something she allows herself to tap into too much. ‘Paradise’: Will Julianne Nicholson Return as Sinatra in Season 3? Writer Teases What’s Next Yay we get more of her in season 3 in flashbacks but :( let her live......... And as Hoberg points out about Nicholson, “She’s such an incredible actor.” Her talent onscreen was so strong that Hoberg admitted, “It was hard to make the decision that she had to die and there were versions we were trying so hard to make it work where she came running out at the end, and it just felt fake somehow.”
