The specific scene McGraw commented on finds his character, James Dutton, asking Margaret (Hill) where she's going. Margaret gives a feisty response, saying, "I don't recall the part of our vows that said I need to ask your permission to go somewhere." When watching the scene, McGraw points out the similarities between Hill and her character.
"There's everyday life right there," he says, laughing. "There's a lot of Faith in Margaret for sure. She played that role so well."
McGraw also commented on how the show as a whole represents strong women through characters like Hill and others, and how that affects McGraw's character.
"I think what was really cool about this show was the empowerment of women that it portrayed and the respect that James had for the women in his life," he says. "That was a prime example of that emotion in this scene, and it really said a lot about their relationship and his relationship with the women in his life."
