00:00Mi chiamo Lady Whistledown. Non mi conoscete e non mi conoscerete mai, ma vi avverto gentili lettori, io di certo
00:12conosco voi.
00:19So, first of all, what attracted you most in these characters and this project?
00:24I think the initial reaction was Shondaland and Netflix and then Shondaland and Netflix doing a period drama and then
00:36the scripts and then sort of like the whole package, which was sort of a dream.
00:42I mean, particularly getting to play such a brilliant character that Daphne is.
00:49There were so many elements that were just dreamy and exciting and yeah, particularly Shondaland doing a period drama, which
00:58I, you know, you know that the women are going to be with agency and they're going to be empowered.
01:03And that was really exciting for me.
01:06Yeah, similarly, I think that it was the early conversations I had about this project were all about the opportunity
01:12to do things that hadn't been done or that people don't expect from a drama in this period.
01:17I think if you talk about period dramas, people expect a certain set of rules or a certain set of
01:21kind of there's a very traditional way to do these things.
01:24And that wasn't necessarily what we were talking about doing with this.
01:27And so I think making it fast, funny, witty, sexy, glamorous, and just bringing in a lot of 21st century
01:34perspective and conversation into a genre that has so much space to explore was incredibly exciting to me when I
01:41was looking at the scripts.
01:43Is it difficult to empathize with characters from a time so different from ours?
01:48I mean, not at all for me. I thought it was, you know, there's a lot of parallels to what
01:54they're going through that we're going through now and that we're still battling with.
01:58Obviously, you know, times have changed a lot since women were getting put on a marriage mark.
02:03But I definitely could recognize the sort of struggle of wanting to be sort of perfect or wanting to put
02:12on this display in order to, you know, succeed on the marriage mark.
02:16I mean, there's a lot of things that sort of we're still battling with in terms of those stories, but
02:21also that they're such well-written characters, you know, Julia Quinn and then Chris Van Dusen and what the team
02:28brought to life is these really dimensional characters that can exist in any period that they're in.
02:35So they're just sort of reacting to the fact that they're in Regency England, but they're so well-written that
02:42they could be in any context and be fascinating.
02:46So, no, I thought they were very relatable.
02:50Yeah, I don't think people change much. Like a hundred years, two hundred years ago, a thousand years ago, people
02:55still have the same desires. They want to love and be loved. They want to understand themselves. They want to
03:00figure out how to make their way in a world that has various societal restrictions, that has family expectations.
03:06I think the trick to doing something that's set in a time that isn't now is that it looks just
03:12different enough that you can remove yourself and see how obvious people's problems are.
03:16Then every time you scream at the screen, you're like, why can't you just let this happen? Then it's like,
03:19oh, wait, I'm screaming at myself.
03:20And that's my favorite trick about period dramas. It's a false distance when actually people are just people. And so
03:27we get to learn about ourselves from ourselves in the past.
03:30You have a wonderful chemistry on screen among us, among you two.
03:34Thank you.
03:35How did you work to build this connection?
03:38Yeah, we I mean, we were very lucky. We had like six weeks of prep. So we got to spend
03:44a lot of time together. We got to do a lot of dance rehearsals together. We had an intimacy coordinator.
03:49So we were rehearsing intimacy scenes throughout that time as well.
03:53And we just got given the real space to connect and hang and work together and form that bond and
04:00that chemistry.
04:02And so by the time we're shooting the first scene, we were pretty much we were already there. We'd already
04:06formed that. So the rest sort of felt not easy because we had a lot of challenging scenes, but our
04:14connection was already formed. So that was that was fine.
04:18I think we spent so much time in rehearsal and on set together, you can kind of see the other
04:22person's face when you close your eyes. So it's kind of you are ever present.
04:27But also we have to give credit to the writers who put all that chemistry together before we even knew
04:32these books existed. I think Chris and Julia worked incredibly hard. They created these two characters who have all this
04:38chemistry.
04:38And so so much of our job is just letting that through. It's being able to channel the hard and
04:43good work that have been done before us.
04:45There are thousands of fans who are already in love with these people in their chemistry. And so it's just
04:50finding how to kind of do justice to that and then put your own little twist on it so you
04:54can surprise and delight folks.
