The season picks up with Thomas and Ramah making arrangements for their betrothal. However, after a large crowd gets unruly following a sermon given by Jesus, Quintus’ sword pierces Ramah, leaving her dead and Thomas devastated.
Yasmine Al-Bustami, the actress who portrays Ramah, told CNA in an interview that she found out about her character’s death in Season Two but didn’t know when it would be coming.
“Even before I read the script, all of my friends — everyone on the cast basically — were texting me asking, ‘Hey, how are you? Is everything fine? Are you doing okay? Did you read the script?’ So, already I knew, I was like, ‘Oh, it’s going to be in this one,’” Al-Bustami said.
She added: “So I finally got to it, read it, and it hit me but it didn’t hit me, obviously, until I did the whole thing.”
The actress explained that the scene wasn’t an easy, one-day shoot. Instead, it took six days to film.
Al-Bustami shared that while she has several favorite scenes from her time playing Ramah, a scene from Season Four stands out at the top of her list — the scene where Thomas and Ramah tell Jesus of their plan to get married and ask him if he’ll take part in it.
“Seeing how that played out — I just thought that was very beautiful,” she shared.
Throughout her time playing Ramah, Al-Bustami said she learned several things from her character, including “following your gut” and “making sure that you’re staying true to yourself.”
She added that her experience being a part of “The Chosen” has reminded her that she hopes to continue to make “meaningful work for people.”
