FatalAttraction showrunner, Alexandra Cunningham, explains why it was important to expand Alex and Ellen's stories in the TV re-imagining.
Fatal Attraction as a story is one that, for decades, was about how women would go crazy based on what the men in their lives did. It was initially not a story that was sympathetic to its female characters. What the new television series, which is based on the 1987 movie, has done is give a more open-minded view of Alex Forrest. Played by Glenn Close in the 1987 movie, she was labeled as the "crazy" woman.

The show has Arthur, a man who was friends with Dan and Beth and who would go on to marry Beth in the modern day side of things. What the show really highlights though is that Ellen is the one character who sort of gets left on her own without answers and we see the aftermath of it in the finale.
