Silence on Set

Molly Hagan talks 'Walker,' her process, working with the cast, and a ton of BTS stories

Molly Hagan is a legend. She has been in the entertainment industry for years and has participated in some beautiful projects. She has starred in Jane The Virgin, Truth Be Told, iZombie, How to Get Away with Murder, and Unfabulous, just to name a few. However, we all now watch her as the ultimate matriarch in The CW's Walker as Abeline Walker. Abeline is confident, wise, calm, intelligent, strong, and resilient. She is a mother never willing to give up on her family or herself. I was excited to speak to Hagan because she has made a mark in this industry.

Hagan popped onto the screen with a big smile. Before I hit record, we talked and told some stories -- bonding. She is so easy to talk to, and while she doesn't give herself enough credit for how amazing she is, it was my honor to tell her. We touch on her immense career and lead into Walker (hoping to get renewed). While we wait for an announcement, Molly and I began to break down some of our favorite scenes from the show. Hagan said she is a fan of the show herself, and we often found ourselves talking about the storyline or how talented the cast and crew are. I would circle back to Hagan, who was always the first to give credit where credit was due. We spoke about what it's like having Jared Padalecki (who plays her son, Walker) as a fellow actor but also her boss, what type of trouble the guys get into when they are together on set, and heard some good stories of what goes on when they aren't filming. We got another insight into the group chat and joked around a lot. I have immense respect for Hagan. She makes you feel good and is one of the nicest people who deserve to be where she is... legendary status.

Synopsis:

Texas Ranger Cordell Walker kicks posterior -- usually in slo-mo. Because of his martial-arts skills, he has a competitive edge against the bad guys. With the help of retired ranger C.D. Parker, partner James Trivette and A.D.A. Alex Cahill, Walker ruthlessly fights for justice.

**Walker is currently airing on The CW and is available to stream on The CW app the next day for free.
