'The Bold Type' Tackles BRCA DNA Testing On Tonight's Ep - Sneak Peek Here!

'The Bold Type' Tackles BRCA DNA Testing On Tonight's Ep - Sneak Peek Here!

Katie Stevens‘s new show, The Bold Type, is taking on an issue that we all need to pay attention to.

In tonight’s episode, “The Breast Issue”, Katie‘s character Jane confronts past issues and current anxieties when she is tasked with writing a controversial piece about BRCA gene testing.

The test uses DNA analysis to determine if you inherited the BRCA mutation and – if you have – helps figure out your cancer risk.

“Tonights episode holds a very very special place in my heart,” Katie told fans on Twitter after alerting them she won’t be around for a live-tweet session.

Showrunner Sarah Watson opened up about the episode to EW and what it means to Jane: “We set up in the pilot that Jane lost her mom at a very young age which has been a huge part of the fold of the show – that Jacqueline, in a way, fills this mother figure [role] for her.”

“We will find out what happened to her mom and then we’re going to tackle the BRCA gene issue which I’m really proud of.”

She adds, “I know it’s something that’s been done on television with older women but we’ve never seen women in their 20s tackle it and so I’m very excited about that.”
