Westworld's Dolores went through a lot over the first three seasons of the twisty-turny science-fiction, before seemingly meeting her end.
That doesn't mean that Evan Rachel Wood is done with the show, however. The actress is playing a completely different character this time around: Christina, a writer living in what appears to be New York City.
James Marsden, who played Teddy until his death in season 2, is back as a romantic interest for Christina, and there's got to be some reason for the re-use of actors, right?

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the actress didn't give anything away regarding her role, but seemed to be very specific in her choice of wording regarding Christina.
"She's much more human this season, so it was fun for me," Wood said. "I think most people come onto the show and are thinking, 'Oh I wish I was a host', and I think the treat for me was actually getting to be vulnerable and somewhat human in season 4."
What to Read Next
Wood elaborated: "Usually the show is incredibly physically exhausting in every way, and this season I felt like [Christina's] a little more of a nerd, honestly.
"She's a loner nerdy kind of writer that's just trying to make it in the big city. She longs for beauty and romance and poetry in this mundane world that she lives in.

"She has that ability, like Dolores, to notice when something is off in her world, and she's got the mindset to actually question it.
"There's a lot of conspiracy theory metaphors this season, like is it more crazy to think something else is going on underneath the surface and we should ask questions, or is it more crazy just to accept things at face value and never question anything?"
Westworld season 4 premieres on June 27. It airs on HBO in the US, and on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK.
