After months of being pregnant in the wilderness, it was finally time for her to give birth.
And her baby didn’t survive.
WhenYellowjacketsactress Sophie Nelisse first read the script for the episode, titled “Qui,” she panicked.
“I felt so pressured because it’s very centered around my character,” she says.
“I remember sitting with [director] Liz [Garbus].
I just remember looking up from my script and I started sobbing.
I was like ‘I’m not good enough for this, I can’t do it.'”
When it came time tofilm the episode, surrounded by her cast, she was up to the task.
“It was so fun to feel supported by all the other girls,” Nelisse says.
“They were giving me so much to play off of.”
Nelisse also relied on music to help her get through the grueling day of filming.
“It wrecks me.
“I have to listen before and then stay in that emotion.”
