00:00Diego and Laila's marriage is really put through the test this season,
00:03which I was kind of sad to see because I love them both.
00:05But I wondered, you know, what was that like for you to kind of play this season?
00:10Were you expecting that kind of thing to happen this time around?
00:13I mean, Steve had sort of told me that there was going to be a little bit
00:16of a triangle dosage between Five and Diego.
00:19And yeah, I mean, playing with Ritu is always lovely,
00:25you know, being able to, because she's always open of wherever I want to go,
00:31she goes wherever she wants to go, I go.
00:33And there's so there's a comfort level of taking it to certain spaces that
00:37sometimes with other actors, you might have to ask or you might have to sort of
00:41get to know them a little bit more.
00:43And that's what makes it really fun.
00:46And so I can sort of set myself up to be the punch, the punch line of a joke with
00:50her and but also allow to really go there and on these emotional moments.
00:56And yeah, and I thought it was kind of charming to see, you know, Aiden step
01:00into this sort of romantic lead, you know, as he's coming up to ease of age.
01:05And obviously, you know, when we got when we first got to work with him, I
01:09remember he was 14 when he was making that peanut butter sandwich, you know,
01:12in the in the kitchen, you know, and he was such a kid.
01:14And I still remember that day, you know, when he was we were doing that scene.
01:18So I don't I don't I forget how young he looked until I randomly see some clips
01:24from season one. Yeah.
01:25Wow. He was a baby.
01:27He was a child. Yeah.
01:28And now he's a dog.
01:30You know, you're not expecting it at first, but then it's sort of I view it
01:35through the analogy of like magnets, like Lila and five very much are the same
01:39thing and they sort of repel each other because of that.
01:41They're very they're sort of like a competitive nature.
01:46But then given the right sort of context, it flips and it makes a lot of sense.
01:53But, you know, that's a credit to everyone working on the show and also this one
01:56over here that it turned out well.
