We spoke to Sohn about her character’s highly complex situation, working with Spader, and much more.

How worried should we be about her getting caught, especially with Mason being out there?
It’ll also be interesting to see how things might shift with Dembe as well.
Your character has a complicated past, issues that contributed to her being in Red’s debt.
From the beginning, I have been very curious about her past.
What is it like to do scenes where Alina’s rage comes out?
Personally, I’m not a very violent person.
There’s something really fun about pushing boundaries as an actor to unlock that sort of rage.
She will do whatever it takes to protect those people, the people she loves around her.
Alina and Liz’s relationship is complicated because she sees similarities with Liz and doesn’t like it.
He’s like a goody-two-shoes, and Alina kind of aligns with that.
With Liz, it was tricky from the beginning because Alina saw so much gray in her actions.
Each member of the task force has their own unique relationship with Red.
What is building that dynamic with James Spader like?
Yeah, with Alina and Red, the dynamic is complex and shifting.
Red was just intrigued by Alina at first because she did show her rage in the beginning.
I’m just as curious as you are to see where it goes, how it continues to shift.
What has it been like for you to joinThe Blacklistcast?
It’s been really fun and cool to see.
