I felt like I had been her in many ways and I had compassion for the character," Spears said of Noreen. "I loved the people who were working on it. They took a chance on me... It really was a big blessing in disguise."
"That's what's really great about the show is that it doesn't just show one side. It shows all the characters' sides. Therefore, you get to know the background behind each story and I think that's what's important," she noted."Growing up, I guess I wouldn't say I had the most typical childhood. I think that's why I connect with this character. She's misunderstood in a lot of ways, but once you see her, you just love her.
Filming took place in Covington, Georgia, last summer. The close proximity to Spears' home base in Louisiana allowed her youngest daughter, Ivey, then just a year old, and her mother, Lynne, to be by her side throughout the entirety of filming. Her husband, Jamie Watson, and daughter Maddie, visited set often.
"It really wasn't uncomfortable, I have to say," said Spears, who credited the wardrobe department for making sure the prosthetic belly was realistic enough where she felt like she was really pregnant, though the experience didn't make her miss"the real deal" at all. "I'd almost forget sometimes that I had my other sidekick, which was the belly.
