When asked if Natasha has faith in Nick as a father, she said: “She doesn’t really say much to Nick, but there’s a moment when she looks at him and just says his name. Hopefully in that moment what will come across is that feeling of knowing.
“The way she looks at him and his response is basically letting her know that he’s going to be alright.
“I think she does trust that he will be a good dad to Sam despite what they’ve been through. I don’t think she’s ever doubted his love for him, but perhaps sometimes his priorities.
“But sometimes it takes something really big to happen for people to step up and she doesn’t doubt that he will.”
