Chatting to GoldDerby about why the inclusion of that character was so vital, Cardellini said: "You realise why Judy never sort of really felt the love. We were also introduced to Judy's mother Eleanor (Katey Sagal), who was in prison. As out there as you think it is, the really fun part is to earn all of that." In an interview with Deadline, Applegate said that that she thought Feldman was "punking" her when she first found out.Ĭardellini added: "When Liz first told me about it, I just laughed, and I thought that it was going to be so much fun to pull off. When you've got a good thing, you try to keep it going, and sometimes it requires bringing in a twin to do that." Then there's Jen's children Charlie (Sam McCarthy) and Henry (Luke Roessler), police detective Ana Perez (Diana-Maria Riva), Nick (Brandon Scott) – the cop that Judy used to date – Jen's orange wine-loving neighbour Karen (Suzy Nakamura), Jen's friend and former real estate partner Christopher (Max Jenkins), Jen's mother-in-law Lorna (Valerie Mahaffey), Pastor Wayne (Keong Sim), the grief support leader, and Steve's semi-identical twin brother Ben, played by James Marsden (more on him later).Ĭhatting to THR, Feldman revealed that "it was not part of the plan" to bring Marsden back, adding: "It was out of his desire to come back and our collective love for him.

"And she is doing exactly that and it is really, really inspiring to see. "Just as a compassionate, wonderful human being who is fun to work with but is also, in addition to that, anything that life will throw at her, she will figure out a way to not let it keep her down." Nothing is going to keep her down and she is going to battle and fight through anything and I admire her as a person," Marsden said while promoting My Little Pony: A New Generation (via ETonline). Her co-star, James Marsden, spoke warmly of Applegate, and the strength she's demonstrated following her diagnosis. "We love and support Christina and respect her privacy as she takes the time and space she needs in this moment," the statement said. Netflix and CBS made a joint statement to The Hollywood Reporter, and it was exactly as respectful as you'd hope. "As one of my friends that has MS said 'we wake up and take the indicated action'. But as we all know, the road keeps going.

But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition. A few months ago I was diagnosed with MS. In August 2021, Applegate revealed she's been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, posting the news to her Twitter account. Shooting may be paused for a significant length of time, for difficult (but completely understandable) reasons. Of course, there have been more recent challenges for the production team. There's no way we'd even try to be back in production until, the earliest, December." Chatting to THR, showrunner Liz Feldman said: "This season we have a 20-week writers room, so there's no way we could go into production until that's over anyway.
