While she remained mum when asked about issue of "what could possibly draw her away from the paradise" and return to the scandalous world, she however shed light about her character's true passion in life – her work.
"She is really drawn to her work and it's defined her in a big way, or it has up until this point. I'm not sure if it will anymore. And her relationships have defined her in a big way. It's interesting: I don't know what her happy looks like. I just know that's something that I want for her," she added.
Yahoo! further asked the new mom about Season 4 being described as the "Year of Abby."
"I think it's something Shonda alluded to. I'm really excited about that unfolding because Abby and Olivia have such a special relationship and such an interesting, complicated past, and I'm dying to know more about it," the 37-year-old actress said.
"Also, I'm just excited about it because Darby Stanchfield is such a phenomenally talented actress, so I'm excited to get to see her just play more and explore her character on screen," she added.
"I'll say the stakes [for Season 4] are still very high, so very high," the multi-awarded actress concluded.
