I think you can feel that we enjoy talking to each other. I think because we were so excited to work with each other and because we like each other that by the time a scene would actually come up, some of that rubbed off on screen. We really built this relationship outside of the show that helped inform our connection. We talked about the show, we shared our feelings, and we had meetings with our showrunner together. He was located in New York at the time, and we would spend at least one night a week going to sushi or going to a bar. Also, I live in New York and Austin lives in LA. That was really cool because I think we built this intimacy without shooting together. So we passed around our own notebook for maybe a month and a half, and we revealed things to each other and got to know each other, and then we would leave it for each other in our trailers. He came up to me, I think it was like the second day, and he was like, “I know this might be kind of weird, but would you maybe want to try this?” I was like, “Yes, 100 percent.” Because I’m a nerd like that, and I’m so down to go the extra mile to get into character. Midori Francis: We passed around our own red notebook. What it was like for both of you to establish a chemistry that wasn’t physical? So much of the season features you and Austin connecting through words. So I definitely believe that some of these experiences that happen feel like fate or destiny because they can end up being so nice or they teach you so much. It turns out Austin and I were supposed to meet and become friends, and now I have him in my life as a fellow artist and friend. I didn’t know in working with Austin whether we would get along, and I was nervous about that. In some ways, I definitely had that with Dash & Lily. I really had no expectations going into this of what type of experience it would be, and it’s ended up being this incredibly special experience where I just have happened to fall in love with everyone on set and everything like that. For example, right now I’m filming Afterlife of the Party in South Africa. So I believe that there are some experiences that one is either meant to have happened or they have happened, and they can change you in magical ways. Midori Francis: I believe in a great combination of destiny and free will. When it comes to fate and chance, do you believe in those elements? If Dash hadn’t picked up the book, they may never have met. I love that the show explores fate and destiny in a sense. Also, I do love Christmas, so it just felt like a good match. I love how adorable she was, how thoughtful she was, and how unique her points of view were. One of the audition sides was seen in The Strand where she tried to pick up that guy, and she just doesn’t stop talking. Already as an actor, that is a very fun and interesting and challenging thing to play. It was very clear that although she’s bubbly and passionate and excitable and loves Christmas, there might also be something she’s covering or hiding or not fully allowing herself to feel. I felt that from the very first time I got that script. Midori Francis: It was that there was so much more to her than I knew met the eye. What was it about Lily that really stood out to you?
