Writers don't have much say in it either. It all comes back to the show-runner and how much "creative freedom" he allows his writers and actors. (At this point, it's safe to assume JR ran S3 like a narcissistic dictator and refused to listen to anyone.)

Eliza made similar comments in the past of Clarke's eternal love for Finn. She's an actor trying to understand and become her character so anything she says about her character is valid in that moment for her character. Also look at Bob; he had to make the OOC Bellamy arc work somehow so he had to create Bellamy's own internal narrative to try to make sense of what was never shown in script. Or Sachin having to come up with his own reasons for why Jackson took the CoL pill because no reason was ever given to him.

That's why Eliza's statement rings so true: "All we could do is make it the best that we could with the script that we were given."
