Let’s move on to Bitsy and Poppy then, because it’s such a beautifully tragic story. What was it like working with Lili Reinhart on these scenes, and playing this very different relationship from Betty and Cheryl?
Oh, it was so lovely, I love working with Lili, she’s one of my best friends. We had a blast. I’ve seen online, the biggest concern everyone has is Bitsy and Poppy are cousins. They’re not cousins, it’s not the same timeline. Her name is Bitsy Smith, and I’m Poppy Blossom. They’re not related in any way, I’ll just put it out there.
But it was really beautiful. Again, it was a different female/female storyline on the show that we haven’t seen yet, as an almost forbidden love, it was really beautiful. And heart-breaking that time and time again, no matter whether it was romantic love or otherwise, Poppy was left out by the people around her.
Cole Sprouse is so scary in those scenes as Jack, what was it like working with him in this mode?
He’s not a method actor, so the minute we say cut he’s burping in my face, and like, being Cole again. But he did a fantastic job. I think they cut the beginning of it, but him knocking on my door and explaining everything with Bitsy, and she mouths “I’m sorry” to Poppy, there was this really interesting improv before where he was yelling at her and grabbing her arm, and it was really cool to watch. I think he nailed Jack.
