'Ray Donovan' Season 3 Spoilers: Ray To Pay Attention To Paige's Family Over His Own? [VIDEO]
The Hollywood Reporter caught up with the showrunner for season 3 of Ray Donovan and got some insight into Ray's mindset in this chapter.

David Hollander, who took the baton from Anne Biderman, spoke to the publication about what's going on with Ray internally.
"Ray has embraced his self-righteousness. He's not going to forgive people for their actions they took," he said. "It's just a little bit hypocritical, but it is Ray. He won't forgive Ezra and Avi for killing Kate (Vinessa Shaw). He won't forgive Abby for her affair. He won't forgive himself for the abuse that he tolerated or the way he's hidden it. And he's all very isolating."
What's even more interesting is the fact that Ray is actually going to be more involved with Paige's (Katie Holmes) family than his own. When asked about how Ray's energies being spent on the McShane's might affect his family, Hollander had some interesting insight to offer.
"There's a subtextual element where he may be a little more attentive to the family of the job than he is his own family," he said. "This year Ray is also concerned about how he impacts his family. He sees himself as dangerous to a certain degree and he's cutting a wider berth to his family. His family misunderstands that, but I'm not sure Ray entirely understands it himself, either."
The next episode, titled 'Ding,' will air on July 19.
