Sloane mentions that Grahn really misses being on set and that her time at home during these past few months has made her realize she doesn't plan on retiring anytime soon. Sloane says:

"She hasn't had a lot of story in the past few years, so not being at work that often wasn't that big an adjustment, but not being there at all was. She said she got a glimpse of what retirement may look like, and assures us she has no plans to retire ever."
