In an interaction with Taffy Brodesser-Akner, Phoebe revealed, "I really, honestly don’t know where she is." She later on mimicked the character adding, "She lives by the sea! Priest rides in on a donkey, [and she’s like] Oh, you came back for me!"
She also further added that she found it difficult to bid goodbye to this character that stayed in her for so long. The Emmy-winner writer added, "I started getting sort of panicky because I could feel the character leaving me. And I remember feeling like, No, no, we have one more show! I felt her go. It was such a lovely feeling…I don’t actually know where she is now and I think that’s the right thing for both of us."
