Mamet previously explained to Deadline that Robbie's friendship with AJ plays a more vital role than the romantic relationships on the show.
“I think female friendship, especially as you get older, serves a very different purpose than a romantic relationship, and I think sometimes it can be more established, specifically, if you've been friends with that person for many, many years,” she said. “And in many ways, it can actually feel in a much deeper way.” “I think when those relationships are threatened in any way, it feels really scary.” The journey that AJ and Robbie take is a very real one. I think a lot of times people don't talk about how terrible things happen as you get older, but also sometimes people drift apart. It's really sad and terrible. Keeping those friendships intact and holding them in a precious and sensitive way is really important.
