MARY STEENBURGEN:Thats what I was going to say!

CLEOPATRA COLEMAN:I mean there are so many insane moments on set with Will.

You never know whats going to happen.

And to not screw up the take by laughing.

MARY STEENBURGEN:He really did it to us that day though!

Some of us did better than others of us.

I had to be written out of that scene because I couldnt control myself.

It was sowatching him painstakingly tune that that guitar, and then sing the whole songwithoutplaying the guitar.

Just beating the side of it.

Oh my God, its the most Ive needed to laugh in my whole life.

Were making him dinner and hes getting turned on hearing all of these details about our relationship and stuff.

Todds dancing was also delicious.

CLEOPATRA COLEMAN:That was amazing!

MARY STEENBURGEN:Also the surgery scenebut in an intense way!

It was heavy and intense, I know especially for Mel and myself.

I just felt like,wow.

Ive never done a scene that was so intense.

They were all so incredible in having us do that.

What matters and what doesnt matter.

Its pretty rich stuff to mine.

CLEOPATRA COLEMAN:That was also our last scene with Boris, so it was genuinely sad.

I couldnt believe it when Will and Mel both shaved half of their bodies for the show.

What was that experience like?

Did either of you eventually get desensitized to it all?

CLEOPATRA COLEMAN:Its so weird!

At first itssojarring and you cant get past it.

And then like after a week Id forget about it!

What were both of your reactions when you first saw that the year was going out on that note?

And I remember being like, Wow…Whats going to happen?

I was curious as a fan, you know?

I want to know whats going to happen to us!

Its going too far.

Lastly, whats one thing that youd both like to see happen to your characters next year?

CLEOPATRA COLEMAN:Maybe a relationship that doesnt end in death!

[Laughs] Im like a black widow at this point!

MARY STEENBURGEN:I too have had a relationship thats ended in death!

Honestly though, I am so not a writer in that way.

I never go there in my mind.

But Id like things to work out well for Gail!
