ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Harper and Yasmin’s friendship is non-existent when season 2 begins.
What is it like to play the change in dynamic with Myha’la?
Do you see a path forward for them?
We’re unafraid to go there with each other.
I really enjoyed playing that animosity.
If there’s been love lost, then there’s an opportunity for it to be regained.
They wouldn’t be going so hard on each if they were just acquaintances.
For both of them there are stakes in losing this relationship.
What was your reaction to how their introduction would play out?
It’s very indicative of how their relationship is going to go through the rest of the season.
How does this opportunity with private wealth management bring something new into Yasmin’s professional life?
Private wealth gives her the opportunity to lean into that.
Yasmin has no interest in interacting with Kenny, but he’s back in the office.
What are we going to see from them this season?
There’s trauma in this relationship and it’s clear that the power dynamics have shifted now.
Yasmin kind of has a hold over Kenny.
I don’t think she particularly wants it; she wants nothing to do with him.
It’s fascinating to watch it play out.
Why does Yasmin have such a strong reaction to her?
Venetia triggers Yasmin in a way.
We know that Yasmin’s father Charles Hanani (Adam Levy) is coming into the picture this season.
What can you tease about what their dynamic is like and where their story goes?
They’re not important relationships to her as an adult, but her father becomes important to her career.
