This question is for those of you - which I think is everybody but Ella -playing the same character at different points in their lives. I specifically said I did not want to know anything my character didn’t know, so I was told nothing, except when I went to the hair and makeup trailer and then they talked relentlessly, I found out everything! I was like, “I do what?” ML: Because I need it! I’m paranoid and anxious. When I had the meeting to potentially do the show I was like, “What happens in episode five?” They gave me a lot of information about the plot of this season, next season, season five - like, they really have a real plan.Ĭhristina Ricci: Melanie got all the intel. I’m very nervous about being stuck in something where people are like, “I dunno.” I really grilled them. Melanie Lynskey: I’m very paranoid about getting into something and not knowing that people have a plan in place. Juliette, when you got involved in this project, did you know the arc of your character, or were you finding that out with each script? Jen Chaney: I’ve done a lot of panels, but I’ve never done a panel that was all women - and this many women - so this is very cool.
