In an interview with CBS Mornings, Andrea Savage talked about why her character is attracted to Dwight, chalking it up to loneliness. She pointed out that her character is going through a divorce and has no kids or family. “And she just has a connection only to Sylvester Stallone’s character, who is much older than her and also a mobster and she’s an ATF agent,” she explained. “And that’s her only, sort of, little spark of joy.” Considering how much Beale has on her plate at any given time, it’s hardly surprising that she is making some bad decisions in her love life.
Savage said some similar things during her chat with the New York Post. In that interview, she also brought up Beale’s loneliness as part of why the character is making poor life choices. She added: “Part of the show is about characters assessing where they are in their lives.” She also said that her character should probably be going to therapy more often than she does.
It’s clear that Beale is at a low point in her life and is desperate for companionship. She clearly understands her attraction to Dwight is wrong and likely to cost her in terms of her career, but desperation can make a person do things they wouldn’t do otherwise. That loneliness and desperation is actually what makes the character so endearing and relatable.
