GC: I was like, “If you don’t run after him right now, I’m going to be pissed.”
TV: I feel like that’s what the audience was screaming, too.
GC: No, literally. Yeah, I heard it.
TV: Rain, why do you think it was important to see all of this context for Taylor, like all the scenes with her and her mom and how she’s changing as a person, too?
RS: I loved that we got a little bit of Taylor’s backstory, because you could see that she’s sort of more of the parent in that dynamic … and her mom has some issues around dating that maybe affected Taylor a bit, and we get to see what she chooses to take from her mom. Like, “Okay, I’m going to take this, I’m going to learn this, but I don’t want that part.” She’s deciding on the type of woman that she wants to be. I think that’s beautiful. I think that’s just a part of being a young adult is like, what do I want to take from my parents and what kind of woman do I want to be?
TV: It feels like every character in this season gets their moment of like, “I can articulate how I became the way I am.” Like when she has the moment of being like, “That’s the only way I know how to be with guys.”
RS: I love that scene. I think [Sean] is a great actor and it just makes it very easy to bounce off of, and I thought that seemed really special for their arc.
SK: So glad we’re doing a movie. If I missed an opportunity to work with Rain Spencer again, I would [die]. I love her so much. She’s so talented.
RS: Love you.
TV: Jeremiah’s moment is when he owns up to letting Belly say she wouldn’t go to Paris, and he tells Denise that he kind of screwed that up. What did you think about that? Hearing him be able to say that?
GC: Dang. I mean, even saying that line, I was like, “Dang, this line has a lot of weight to it.” It just shows how much he’s realized of himself and how much he’s grown. No, I think that was super important. There was a few lines specifically in that one scene with Denise and also over the phone [with Belly] where it’s like, “I just hope you’re good and I should let you go,” that were just so impactful and meaningful. I think it was very mature of Jeremiah to take that step, and I’m glad he did.
TV: Your characters each have these great scenes with Denise, and I’m curious what you think she brings out and each of your characters. Why are they drawn to her?
SK: She’s so real. She’s so funny.
GC: She comes with just such a sassy, sarcastic tone in the character, and it’s so fun, too. Our office scenes were so fun. There was one scene that actually made it in where I was throwing stuff at her. I eventually threw a paper airplane at her, and genuinely, we were just goofing around and doing stuff and picking on each other, and it ended up making it. There was a lot of other improv things that took place that made it, some didn’t. It was fun working with her. I feel like it brought out a different dynamic. She’s just so real in this and calls things out for what it is. Like “yacht formal” and stuff like that, like so funny.
