The best thing about doing social media for your own show is that no one can stop you from being weird with it.

@lindsayzana.bsky.social is everything I ever wanted Aubrey to be. I don’t play favorites with my characters, but Aubrey has a special place in my heart, and I couldn’t be happier with the way Lindsay’s brought her to life.

No one does snark quite like @kirstywoolven.bsky.social, and I just knew I needed them in the role of Morgan. They’re everything you’ve ever wanted to say to rude customers, and you’ll be quoting them for days.

Oz brought so much more to Nat than I ever pictured, and I’m so glad to have her in this role. Nat has some of my favorite character development in the whole series, and Oz embodies her perfectly.

Working with @hadronkaleidoscope.bsky.social on Breathing Space was so great that I just had to cast him again. Y’all are going to love Ken, and it’s largely because Michael plays him so damn well.
