After watching tonight’s episode, we got an opportunity to chat with Wendi McLendon-Covey (Executive Producer / “Beverly Goldberg”) and Hayley Orrantia (“Erica Goldberg”).
Although neither Orrantia and McLendon-Covey are parents in real-life, they did chat with friends to get inspiration for their characters’ new journey as mom and grandma in this upcoming season. So, what can we expect from Beverly this season?
“Well, you can expect a spoiled grandchild that’s going to, you know, butt heads with mom. You know Beverly is now a widow. So she’s trying to find her place in the world again without a husband. So what’s she going to do? She’s babysitting all the time. Is she going to drag the baby off? On some of her adventures? Yes. Yes, she is a because, you know, that’s just good grandmother’s ring and who she wants to show off the baby. She wants compliments on the baby.” – Wendi McLendon-Covey
