![]() McCoy: I get to set and she’s always so bummed, like, “So, I saw you were out last night.” And on a personal note, I just love watching how much fun she has! I get to be like, “Oh, I remember those days,” as I’m in bed by 9 p.m. This isn’t an easy business, and Eden clearly sees what she has to do to have the career that she wants. I feel like Eden, more and more every day, is seeing what she wants and is doing the work to have the life and the career she wants. ![]() Wright: As an actor, I respect Eden’s constant quest to learn and study and to work hard at her craft. If one of us is in a goofy mood, the other one of us is in a goofy mood immediately.ĭigest: What do you each most respect about the other? I think we are able to really feed off of each other’s energy. She is constantly trying to be better, trying to improve, and when you’re around someone like that, someone who has that attitude, it just automatically raises your own vibration. Another thing with Laura, something that we talk about all the time, is bringing things back to gratitude. I think we’re each other’s safe space and there is a huge amount of trust there. McCoy: She can read me so well, and I’m willing and ready to be so open with her. Anything she’s going through, I’m like, “Oh, is this happening?” She’s like, “How do you know?” And I’m like, “Because I’ve been there!” Laura’s past, if I may, resonates with me because you’ve been in my position. There have been times in my life where she has known more than my own mother about what’s going on in situations. She tells me like it is, on screen and off. Wright: Well, I also think that we hang out together all the time, we talk about things, we talk about our scenes, we laugh. McCoy: I was a child and now I’m an adult? She’s the first to call Josslyn out but also the first to protect her.ĭigest: How would you describe how your off-camera bond has evolved over the years? When that came out, and they were sitting together on the kitchen floor, no one has her daughter’s back like Carly. Wright: And then, on the other side of it, you have something like the sex tape. Laura always plays that protective intensity that Carly feels toward her daughter, and I think that gives us a more dynamic and specific relationship as characters. Carly knows how one wrong turn can end up and knows the decisions that she made when she was Josslyn’s age and she wants it to be different for her. ![]() Wright: Yeah, and a lot of times it would be written where Carly is like, “Oh, honey, it’s okay.” And I’m like, “I’m not saying it’s okay, I’m gonna kick her ass!” And Eden is always laughing, like, “Exactly!” We make it more like there’s an expectation that Josslyn knows she lives in a different world and there’s always danger underneath: “If you’re out drinking and you find yourself in a bad situation, there are people out there that will want to hurt you or take advantage of you or kidnap you.” We’ve always played that, Eden, wouldn’t you agree? ![]() So I was like, “Okay, now we have a storyline and an actress who can do it and is willing to jump right in.” That’s the storyline that changed it for me.ĭigest: Joss landed herself in trouble with underage drinking a few times, as I recall. So, I do remember her on that first day, but it wasn’t until the storyline where Josslyn had friends to the house and was drinking and got caught with a beer bottle in the couch or something where I was like, “Okay! Now we have an actor!” Not that the others weren’t, but they were younger, and you don’t really know what to expect. McCoy: Yeah, she wasn’t a die-hard fan but she knew who people were, so she was probably more scared than I was that day! But I was very nervous all day because I had no experience on that set, obviously, and here I am, like, “I don’t know how this works, but can I take a picture with you?” My mom had hyped Laura up so much - “Oh, my God, that’s Laura! Be super-nice!” As if I was gonna go over and be mean! Digest: Eden, you told me you were nervous to ask her to take that picture.
