She credits the show's writers for her character's rich portrayal and the numerous romantic interests Alberta has had.

Pinnock describes the developing romance between Alberta and Pete as a captivating slow burn, with characters continually discovering new facets of each other. This narrative mirrors real-life familial revelations, where even those close can share surprising personal histories.
