I feel like a lot of people would be interested in that storyline as well as Kamala and Nalini with Christopher. I really love Eleanor’s storyline with Malcolm. Yeah, I’m really excited for people to see the new love interests that come in for a lot of the characters. Just breathe, take a second to think to herself, “Am I being true to myself? Am I doing the things I want to do?” and to just have more open communication with Eve.ĭo you have any favorite scenes or moments that you’re looking forward to fans seeing? What’s some advice you would want to give Fabiola about her situation in Season 2? I loved working with Donielle this season she’s so funny. But Donielle Mikel Nash, who plays Sasha, is amazing and hilarious. Fabiola is very intimidated by Eve’s friends. She likes to go to robotics practice, but she tries to be more involved, and she tries to fit in. I think Fabiola’s very intimated to be around people who already know who they are and are very bold and courageous as she’s none of those things. They have a little bit of difficulty in their relationship throughout the season as well.įabiola struggles with being around Eve’s friends. I think it’s because she doesn’t entirely understand her own thoughts up until she just explodes and comes to this realization that who she’s trying to be isn’t who she is and it’s not working. Eve is trying to be very supportive and as you can see, Fabiola is very avoidant. I feel like Eve doesn’t really understand why Fabiola is being the way that she is. How do the events of this season affect her relationship with her girlfriend Eve? Just always stay true to what is close to you in the end. You’re going to constantly figure out who you are. It’s OK to continue to discover who you are after coming out because that’s a part of life. What do you want fans, especially fans going through struggles similar to those Fabiola is going through this season, to take away from this? I just try to go in with every emotion she has and pull from myself and think about what she’s going through, background kind of work. She’s a funny gal, but especially when I was younger - “Oh, mom, don’t say anything” - so I really pulled that from my experience with my own mom. I took it as my mom because my mom says things that are really out there. Yeah, I always try to make sure it comes from a real place, especially when Fabiola was trying to not have Eve meet her mom. Is there any prep you did when you were trying to portray and convey those feelings for your character? She’s making all these weird decisions and doing all these things that just aren’t her, and the audience can tell.Īt times, she feels forced to do and be something she’s not.

She gets in situations where she’s not like herself and you’ll see that in Season 2. That’s just Fabiola, where she holds things in, tries to make everything work. She builds and builds up her emotions and then eventually, she lets it all out - like we saw in Season 1, she just came out in front of everybody.

I think Fabiola tends to push things in and go with the flow of things at her own expense sometimes.

How is Fabiola handling her struggles with herself and being true to herself this season? You’ll see a lot of awkward avoidant moments with Fabiola. She struggles a lot with trying to fit in with her friends and trying to navigate a relationship with Eve. In Season 2, she has more questions about herself and trying to navigate her relationship with Eve and also has this big ordeal with having Eve meet her mom. Preview Fabiola’s storyline and what can we expect from her in Season 2. We caught up with Rodriguez to dive deeper into what her character is going through and hear what it was like to film with a bigger cast. Should Devi choose Paxton, Ben, or focus on herself? Sound off ahead of the second season premiere.
