Backstory on what we thought had happened to Bette and Tina in the last ten years and where they were and why they were there. I remember Jennifer sitting in my living room and we were running scenes together and there was a moment where I felt like we picked up right where we left off.
She gave me a lot of confidence letting me know that it was going to be fine, because I acted straight for 20 years, so it was surreal to step back into this.
And what a blessing to step back into a role that I lived in for six years. I think deep down, I was thinking that it would be fine. I tend to be a little bit of a perfectionist, so I was just nervous.
It was surreal. Looking up at Leisha, she looks exactly the same as she did 10 years ago with that big smile. It was really crazy and really great. LH: Of course. Yeah, but I think they were really shocked to see Tina back there at all because I have a full other career doing something else. For me, it was just a testament that these are the best fans ever. They just simply are. We have great fans. I feel like what Marja has done with it is really interesting.
Basically Angie wanting to know her donor. It was probably some of my favorite writing. I think the writers have dealt with a lot of really important subject matters, which is Angie wanting to meet her donor, issues of race, identity…. LH: I think both sides are valid. I think it becomes a challenge of letting go for Bette and Tina. The importance of identity is there, too. Will this person love my child as much as I do and my ex partner does?
LH: I think the biggest similarity is, I have a pretty strong desire for everybody to get along. You just want to know what their authentic truth is.
I do my own backstory, and what you might not see on screen is what really changed with Tina and why she left Bette. You see a little bit in the monologue she does with Angie in season one. I have a year-old and a year-old. LH: I do think that… and that is somewhat true. I felt like if I was going to go back and act again, Jennifer is the best safety net in the world.
It felt very surreal. There is something about the character that is so in both of our DNA that there is always some truthful moment going on. Beals: It was this odd feeling as if no time had passed and as if we were dreaming. Having Laurel back as a scene partner was truly a dream. We went through so many different things [with the original series] that were so intense, so joyful and so painful.
How much of a role, if any, did you both have in deciding Bette and Tina would be divorced? Beals: Laurel has a very vibrant, powerful career as a painter.
To presume that somebody could even be a regular with that schedule is not possible. Then it became about figuring out what the story was if the person can come in for a limited amount of time. Talking to Ilene and Marja, the storyline of co-parenting and complexities of co-parenting after divorce is interesting, so we dove in with that. Holloman: It was a gift because I do co-parent. I have been divorced from my partner since my children were 2 and 5.
And I have a year-old daughter, who was in my belly during the second season of the original show. Beals: It felt giddy because all of us were together. Even though Leisha exits the scene before Tina arrives, we were all there together so it was just really fun catching up.
Holloman: It felt surreal and deja-vu-y. At one point, Alice walked out and I felt like we had just done a scene like that like it were yesterday. Beals: The table read for this episode was like no table read I have ever been at. People could not stop crying. There is the scene with Angie and Tina, and Leisha and I were sitting next to each other and we were crying so hard.
I ran out of Kleenex and had to use her hoodie.
