Executive Producer Maril Davis told Entertainment Weekly in December 2018: “We had every intention of having a Brianna and Jenny [moment] but we waited and we kept dragging our feet, quite honestly, because we thought we could convince her and the schedules would change.
“We could move our schedule and accommodate her but at the end of the day, it just didn’t work out so we scrambled to come up with another story.”
