On the show, Rodriguez portrays Liza Ortiz, a single mother who was once married to Travis. She's described as the free-spirited bohemian type. She's also attempting to rebound from her disastrous marriage and is in nursing school. "I'm very protective of my son, I'm studying to become a nurse, that plays a very important role in the first six episodes," she said.

Cast member Patricia Reyes Spíndola also talked to Latin Times about her character, Griselda Salazar ---a Catholic and unwilling to justify the supernatural phenomena with science. "I feel that I represent the Latina woman and the Hispanic family," the 63-year-old Mexican actress said of her character. "A woman who wants to keep her family united, who has faith in God. During the crisis, she discovers that there's a lot of good people," she added.
