Elsbeth : Carrie Preston reveals why her character carries so many bags
“She always needs to carry a lot of things. We were very specific about the nature of these bags”explained Carrie Preston in this interview. “She won't carry a briefcase. She doesn't think of herself as one. Bags have become a fun accessory. She has bags in her brain, she has Rolodexes in her brain. She picks up little things that she put there 20 years ago, and she says to herself 'I can use it here'.
Elsbeth : Carrie Preston finds “fascinating the number of people who are interested in the contents of the bags”
“The bags are filled with everything she thinks she will need that day to help her with her work”continues Carrie Preston, who is surprised by the journalist's question about the bags and their contents. “I find it fascinating how many people are interested in the contents of the bags. But are you also interested in what's in his brain?” But there are key moments in the series where Elsbeth relinquishes this excess baggage. “I made the choice, in Elsbeth, that once I have a killer and I'm ready to trap him, I don't need these bags”explained the actress. “You will notice in the show series that in the final scenes, when I come to arrest the murderers, I no longer need these bags.
