In a recent interview, Paula Malcomson, who plays Abby Donovan, dished about the future of her character in season 3 of Ray Donovan.

The actress spoke to E!Online, and stated that Abby will be more defined in her role as the head of the family in the next chapter of the Showtime series.

"There will be more of the same madness but Abby sort of starts to have her own agenda in a really big way because we can't have her nagging Ray any longer," Malcomson said. "I think she's going to take care of family matters and Ray takes care of the business. So we get to see more of the matriarch."

Season 3 To Get A New Writer, Will Be Very Different? 

In another recent interview with Variety, Liev Schreiber, who plays Ray on the show spoke about the fate of Ray and Abby's (Paula Malcolmson) marriage. Schreiber seemed rather optimistic, not in the way that things would be hunky dory, but at least that the couple would stick out through thick and thin. The questions seems pertinent as Ray and Abby's marriage was really tested in the second season, and both were having affairs on the side.

"Ray is the kind of person who would die for his family," Schreiber said. "I don't know that his marriage can ever truly be over. As bad as it gets, as bad as he behaves, he'll never be able to separate himself from it. Whether or not they're living under the same roof, he'll always be married to Abby."

The season 2 finale of Ray Donovan aired on Sunday, September 27 at 8 pm ET/PT on Showtime.

Season 3 should be out sometime mid-2015.
