Though fans will have to wait until the next episode to find out how he reacts, Duff said the fallout is “scary for Kelsey,”her character.
“As much as she loves Liza, she’s worked really hard to get where she is and she continues to put her at risk,” the mom to 6-year-old son Luca continued. “I think she’s kind of sick of it. I don’t think Kelsey loves being a liar with Liza. It makes them look like frauds.”
With the secret getting out around the office, Kelsey doesn’t want her credibility to be questioned.

“She’s definitely considering it,” theformer teen starteased. “You never know what Kelsey’s capable of. She’s a little bit of a wild card. As much as he wants to push ahead, I don’t think she’s above doing something that makes her really uncomfortable, like maybe leaving a job and having to work her way up again. She holds a lot of worth at the company though and they know that, so well see how far she gets with that.”
