It was just so much fun for us to film, it kind of felt like Christmas morning.”

“I think underneath Flower’s super happy veneer and forgetfulness is just bubbling with a lot of pain and sadness, which is a very human experience,” Carrasco says. It’s revealed in flashbacks that earlier than her time as a hippie, Flower had been a legislation pupil who fell in love with a person named Michael. All of their plans for the longer term had been lower brief although when he turned unwell and finally died.
“To be able to play someone that has been successful, up to this point, kind of masking this trauma in her life was really a big suitcase to unpack as an actor, and I was really grateful for the opportunity to get at the reason she has these intimacy issues,” says Carrasco. Once Flower does open up, she learns that there’s nothing to actually be terrified of as a result of Thorfinn isn’t going wherever.

“Thor knows trauma,” Long notes. “He gets it. I think the characters are learning how to accept themselves and be vulnerable with each other because it’s like… what are you protecting anymore? We’re not alive anymore. We’re here in this purgatory. Thor is an open ear, so she could feel that connection.”
And in response to Long, followers solely received to see a portion of what was filmed for Flower and Thorfinn’s date. “There was actually a whole other scene where Flower and Thorfinn had another date that got cut. And it was such a good scene,” the actor shares. But fret not as a result of there’s an opportunity this date might pop up in a while.
As for future dates, we couldn’t assist however marvel what one deliberate by Flower would possibly appear to be. According to Carrasco, “I think for her a date would be like holding hands, staring into each other’s eyes, maybe listening to music, and like losing track of time, you know? Which is kind of her preferred state of being all the time.”
So, what’s subsequent for these new lovebirds? There might not be as heavy of a concentrate on the pair in every other Season 2 episodes, however Long reveals, “there are little things here and there that will come up in episodes about Flower and Thorfinn being together.” And there are excessive hopes for the not too long ago introduced third season. “Sheila and I are really hoping that Flower and Thor play tricks on people, throw weird parties, [and just run the] house like it’s a frat, just getting into all kinds of trouble.”
“They’re a real fun couple together,” Long concludes.
