The 36-year-old actress has signed a one-year contract to portray a new character named Marin.

The actress, who has been candid about her battles with mental health and dissociative identity disorder, as well as surviving sexual abuse, revealed that she has finally learned to disconnect herself from her character at the end of each day.
