Dusseldorp, in an interview, explained her character’s strength. She said: “Sheila helps people believe what she wants them to believe. She’s an excellent manipulator. Sheila knows how to be devoted, and she knows how to try and encourage devotion. So she has these other traits to her that isn’t about muscle.”
Dusseldorp added: “Shelia has brain and heart. She’s even more dangerous, I think.” However, Dusseldorp’s character’s eternal belief in power is also troublesome.

I vote for the Logies and AACTAs so that I would watch it every season. The integrity of the performances, the cohesion of the story, and the cast as a group always knock out. It never even falters.”
