Jane the Virgin: The role Gina Rodriguez played in casting Tyler Posey

I really did suffer a loss when we lost Michael, Rodriguez says.

Losing Brett was such a significant loss for me.

He was my acting partner.

Hes absolutely freaking adorable.

Hes the coolest dude ever.

Hes a great freaking actor.

And it happened within like a day.

They told Jenny, Jenny was like, Oh my God, Im obsessed with him.

She offered the role.

Tyler and I had wanted to work together for forever and it was like done, done, done.

And then it happened.

Although there was a brief moment where they thought theyd lost Posey.

I was legitimately devastated.

But we didnt lose him, so it was like the best thing in the world.

Its so fun for Jane to feel again and feel deeply, Rodriguez says.

Ive been wanting it for her.
