But it just kind of worked out to be that way.
Its like most things in show business, theres not a simple answer and theres not a transparent answer.
And so getting to go undercover with Andy was something that was really fun for me.

I wanted to be in stories with the other women in the show.
Was that important to you?Yeah.
And they got bond over love of A.C. Slater/Mario Lopez!
Theyre kids of the 90s.
But I think it was a very funny cameo.
Just the idea of Jake and Gina being super Mario Lopez freaks is very funny to me.
And he was a super cool guy to work with.
[Laughs] And then he shows up.
It was very strange.
But Im going to guess that Im talking to my foot at some point.
Theres absolutely some foot chatter.
Have you filmed that yet?No, Im doing it soon.
[So soon that she wasback on setthe day after this interview.]
So with that being the case, how often do you envision coming back?
Everything is so up in the air with entertainment.
Aside from the number of episodes that are set for this season, theres no guarantee.
Its kind of one of those, we will see what happens but the door isnt closed.
These are friendships that weve forged, so thats definitely the part thats the hardest to let go of.
So that was always the challenge and the fun of this character.
But, look, life is full of changes all the time.
Its part of the fun.
