Yellowstone Season 5: Dawn Olivieri is Ready for Sarah Atwood to Pop Off
“I was thinking about Wes and when I first got this invitation to come and play on Yellowstone.” Olivieri recalls. “I thought, ‘I’m only playing with his character?’”
It wasn’t simply because Olivieri wanted to work with the rest of the extremely talented cast of the show, it’s that she, like many, is not a fan of the often spineless Jamie Dutton.
“He’s very victim-y. I am the complete opposite of that. But when I started working with Wes, he’s an incredible actor. He said to me that playing Jamie is the hardest character he’s ever had to play in his career, and it’s going to be very cool to watch his character blossom in this relationship with Sarah.”
She’s absolutely correct as well. Watching Jamie as a character come out of his shell, and actually show fortitude is a catharsis for any fan of the character. His transformation into pure villainy, hand-in-hand with Atwood has been one of the major highlights of season 5, and one of the most consistently exciting and entertaining aspects of an otherwise undemanding season.
She also admits that she, like so many fans, trusts the Sheridan process, and knows that things will eventually reach the echelon of thrills and drama that has made the show so popular. With a smile still on her face, she simply states “Taylor knows what he’s doing,” but Olivieri mirrors how many fans feel about this current deliberately paced and character driven season – there is so much potential still left on the table.
As for what that potential might mean for Jamie and Sarah, whether it be impeaching John (Kevin Costner), or getting even darker and hiring someone to kill Jamie’s sister, Beth (Kelly Reilly), Olivieri is noticeably buzzing with anticipation. In fact, she is issuing an unofficial challenge to Sheridan to bring some real explosiveness and grandioseness to Atwood.
