To effectively portray their characters, Hill and McGraw made the decision to keep their personal and professional lives apart. According to Hill in ET,

“We discussed other scenes but not ones we were in together.”

The importance of the public viewing them as James and Margaret Dutton rather than McGraw and Hill was emphasized by Tim McGraw, who reiterated his wife’s remarks. He disclosed that the fact that the cameras were already running when he initially met Hill as her character Margaret added to the realism of their performances.

It took a lot of effort for Faith Hill to play Margaret Dutton. She talked about how difficult it was to leave her character’s attitude and go back to being a real-life wife and mother.
