Who’s had the most embarrassing moment on set and what was it?
BH: I mean, there’s so many. I often think about the time Georgia has to come into your bedroom real hot, and I jumped on the bed, and then Asaf [Benny], our cameraman, fell off the bed because I jumped on the bed too hard, and then the lamps broke. I just didn’t need to come in that hot and that’s why I was embarrassed.
AG: For me, it was season one, when I drink too much black tea liquor. I had a gastrointestinal emergency and had to run away. It was when Ginny comes home drunk, and Georgia calls the cops. It was before that, when I’m giving a speech and everyone’s supposed to be really drunk. It was that day. As soon as I stood on top of the coffee table, I was like, ‘Oh no’. I would clench. Then they called cut, and I had to run.
The show is funny and light-hearted, but it deals with some often complex, dark issues around mental health, abuse, and trauma. Antonia, what was it like portraying that for Ginny?
AG: I think that, in some ways selfishly, playing a character like Ginny, I find catharsis in portraying the emotions that the character goes through. Because ultimately, it’s something that your body has to release, and so sometimes subconsciously, if there’s things that I’ve been holding on to myself, if I’m releasing it as the character, I can leave set, go home and realize, “Oh, I’ve also released this other thing that I didn’t realise I was holding on to.” But also, ultimately, it is a challenge, I think, to play a character that’s so young and yet has to deal with such dark situations. But I feel like I’ve developed a sense of protection for this character, and I understand her psychology, and how she carries herself and would react to, really, anything. There’s a part of me that’s just, like… I try to do it in a way that takes care of her.
Brianne, how did your experience of motherhood impact how you approached season 3?
BH: I mean, prior to being a mom, my entrance in was my love for my siblings. I have four younger siblings. We have really big age gaps, so that part felt natural. And I think, though, now that I am a mom, I feel like I just resonate with Georgia even more in her obsession with Ginny. It was more like, all this stuff I used to think was just ridiculous about Georgia, I now find to be, she’s very grounded in this, it makes total sense to me, and I fully understand now. It has surprised me. It’s made my heart even bigger. And I didn’t know that that was possible.
What can fans expect from season 3? What are you excited for us to see?
BH: It’s a very dramatic season, very emotional.
