Considering that her part was largely downgraded from main character to supporting act in Season 2, it wasn’t entirely a surprise. Speaking on the Armchair Expert podcast in 2023, Ferreira said: “I don’t think there was a place for [Kat] to go. I think there were places she could have gone. I just don’t think it would have fit into the show. I don’t know if it was going to do her justice, and I think both parties knew that. I really wanted to be able to not be the fat best friend. I don’t want to play that, and I think they didn’t want that either. I feel like with Season 2 and certain parts of it… I felt was kind of a struggle for both parties. Sam, me… it was a struggle to find the continuation of her. So that was actually really hurtful watching it and seeing the fans get upset. I just felt like maybe it’s like I overstayed my welcome a little bit? So, for me, it actually felt good to be like, Okay, I get to not worry about this and we both don’t get to worry about this, because it’s exhausting. Sam writes for things that he relates to. I don’t think he relates to Kat.”

Timothée Chalamet Has Gone Blonde

Timeless Wedding Movies for Every Romantic
It’s easy to forget that Steel Magnolias—one of the great dramedies of the 1980s—kicks off with the preparations for a big ol’ Southern wedding. That’s where we first meet the film’s firecracker women: There’s mother of the bride-to-be, M’Lynn (Sally Field); hair stylist Truvy (Dolly Parton); beauty assistant Annelle (Daryl Hannah); town grouch Oiser (Shirley McLaine); Oiser’s bestie, Clairee (Olympia Dukakis); and, of course, the “blush and bashful” bride herself, Shelby (Julia Roberts). But even without that all-star cast and their unforgettable one-liners, Steel Magnolias would be worth a watch for its over-the-top wedding. Think: a red velvet armadillo cake, outrageous guests, and a cotton-candy-pink color palette.
Who Should Play Whom in a Taylor Swift Biopic?
While there are no public plans for a Swift (or Paine) biopic at the moment, it’s probably only a matter of time, right? To that end, in honor of Swift’s birthday, I’ve taken it upon myself to dream-cast the film; if anyone in Hollywood wants to pay me money for this kind of deranged creative genius, they are welcome to.
