"There was a while where we were like, 'Can we [continue] the tone of the show having lost Grace?'" she told Variety. "Because the tone of the show is a fine balance between comedy, tragedy, drama, thriller, farce-y at times.
"Once we figured out tonally that we could handle it, we didn’t question it. We knew it would be kind of shocking and f**king awful, but I did think it was important to show the extent of the damage that can happen [in an abusive relationship]."
The star went on to explain that it was "emotional" no longer having Duff on set, adding: "The whole filming, the whole series, felt like we were on an emotional rollercoaster."

Duff revealed that she knew her character would die "a good while before the scripts arrived" and so "didn’t have the soap opera surprise".
"I think it’s a brilliant idea, because it shakes things up, and it changes the landscape, and suddenly there’s a huge amount of freedom in that," the star added.
"And also, it was such a repeated question, 'What happens to Grace in Season 2?' And it removes that from the conversation."
Bad Sisters season 1 is available to stream now on Apple TV+, with new season 2 episodes released weekly.
