00:00 How would you say we will see Lily focus more on herself

00:04 in this new season?

00:05 And is that something you feel like she's being forced to do?

00:09 Or is she a willing participant in that?

00:12 - I mean, Lily just hit rock bottom for season two.

00:15 You're gonna find out in the first couple of minutes

00:17 of the episode, oh boy, poor girl.

00:21 I feel really bad for her, but hey, you know what?

00:24 I relate to her, all my girlfriends relate to her

00:27 and most women relate to her.

00:29 So that is why I love her, 'cause she's messy

00:31 and she makes mistakes, but genuinely she's seeking

00:34 for what we all seek for, which is love.

00:37 Our dreams, our career, and in a way navigating

00:41 the pressure that society puts on us,

00:44 that our family puts on us.

00:45 So what makes her happy?

00:46 What makes, what stops seeking validation

00:50 from somebody else, but only seek it from ourselves?

00:54 So that's the journey that Lily takes

00:56 and that's the journey that I feel most women

00:58 are constantly struggling with.

01:01 So I'm really happy that she finally prioritizes herself

01:06 and is learning how to be present

01:07 and taking control over her life.

01:10 - Absolutely, and speaking of love, Rome,

01:13 there's a scene in the first episode of this season

01:16 where you and Lily are first coming to the realization

01:19 of your breakup and y'all toast to love being beautiful.

01:23 In what ways do you feel like this sets the tone

01:25 for their relationship throughout this season

01:28 and how would you say this is a huge difference

01:31 from where they were in season one?

01:32 - Yeah, I think we reached a point where we can't,

01:37 we wouldn't be able to go backwards

01:40 after that had been revealed.

01:42 And it changed just the fabric and the, you know,

01:47 the dynamic between these two characters

01:49 because they still long in aspects for each other

01:54 and still trying to navigate how to have your cake

01:57 when you need it to, you know what I mean?

01:58 And so they're trying to figure out

02:01 how these pieces will still fit.

02:03 - Let's just say the audience is gonna see

02:06 a lot of really nice cake from Rome.

02:09 (laughing)

02:11 A real nice cake from Rome.

02:13 - Emerald heard the word cake and just was like, here we go.

02:16 - I had a real beautiful moment, you know,

02:18 besides that, my phone is still very,

02:20 very eloquently presenting.

02:23 So hopefully you got that.

02:24 Thank you. - Yes, I did.

02:26 And Desmond, without giving too much away,

02:29 where would you say Nick falls in this

02:31 Lily love triangle, so to speak?

02:35 And will we see him kind of finding more of a voice

02:38 when it comes to his true feelings for her

02:40 in the second season?

02:42 - Yeah, look, you've given me a nice out there at the end

02:46 for not giving too much away

02:47 because I think really a lot of,

02:49 I think what's beautiful about the series is that

02:51 not, it's not just, it's not some forced love triangle.

02:54 There is some sort of, for Nick and Lily,

02:57 there's a character growth that in some ways

03:01 almost means growing together, who knows?

03:05 I think it's more of a factor of circumstance

03:09 and character growth than necessarily like,

03:10 these two people should be together,

03:12 which I think is really nice.

03:13 There's a reality to that.

03:15 And it feels better to be able to portray that

03:18 than in some sort of like arbitrary,

03:20 than rather than making it like some sort of arbitrary,

03:22 you know, narrative link up.

03:23 It does feel of the characters, yeah.

03:28 - I love that.

03:30 Well, hats off to y'all on a great second season

03:33 and thank you for your time today.

03:35 The first episode starts with a bang

03:37 for the relationship between Jorge and Henry,

03:40 but as time progresses,

03:41 we see your character kind of get cold feet, so to speak.

03:45 Why was it important to touch on the layers

03:47 of a relationship where there's your family

03:51 who is like super welcoming and supportive

03:53 and Henry's is kind of different than that?

03:57 - Yeah, I mean, I think that, well, first of all,

04:01 I think that the kind of cold feet motif is not universal,

04:06 but I think is widely relatable to many couples.

04:12 So I think that, I just think that that bit of it

04:18 was just true to life.

04:19 I think that it was just, I think that it was authentic.

04:22 And I think that, you know,

04:24 as far as Henry's parents are concerned

04:27 and his family and his world, you know,

04:30 I would say that, you know,

04:31 both families are very, very accepting

04:35 and excited about this new chapter in their life

04:39 and also just their relationship in general.

04:42 I think that it just speaks more to Jorge's neuroses

04:47 about he's not a calm, cool, and collected individual.

04:52 So I think that Henry very much is.

04:56 So Henry's assimilation into the Diaz family dynamic

05:00 was much easier just because of Henry's essence.

05:04 I think that Jorge's a little bit more difficult.

05:08 So I don't think it was a family issue.

05:10 I think it was just a Jorge issue.

05:13 - Which made it way more fun to watch

05:15 'cause I don't want to give it away.

05:17 But that's what made it so like, I'm being,

05:20 like it was entertaining for me as Vinny

05:22 to watch Mark play those moments as Jorge

05:26 and also to play Henry on the opposite end to watch,

05:28 you know, 'cause there's a whole bit

05:30 I don't want to give away that Henry and his parents

05:33 kind of put Jorge through.

05:35 It's, it also is, it shows like how families are different.

05:40 Like they just have different ways of showing their love

05:42 and affection for one another.

05:43 And that's ultimately what it ends up being about.

05:46 And I think it's fun that we play with that.

05:48 And then it's unfortunate that as a result,

05:50 we see the neuroses from Jorge come out, you know,

05:53 'cause he's usually out of 10, he's kind of,

05:55 and he gets like that.

05:57 But, but yeah, I think it's important that we show

06:01 that kind of effect that loved ones have on one another

06:04 in a relationship and what it feels like to actually

06:07 go through that challenge of meeting someone's parents

06:10 and family before you decide to move on in your relationship

06:15 and move forward in whatever that next step is.

06:17 So I thought we captured it pretty well.

06:20 And, and we, it was, it was just really fun

06:23 and super entertaining for us as the actors

06:26 to actually do it once we got it on its feet.

06:29 So that's definitely gonna be a highlight

06:31 for y'all for season two.

06:34 - Absolutely.

06:35 And speaking of season two as well, Vincent,

06:38 can you tell me just how do we see like the layers

06:41 of Henry pulled back by being introduced

06:45 to his family dynamic?

06:48 - Well, I think Henry starts to definitely

06:50 feel more relaxed.

06:51 Like, you know, Henry, we've learned from the first episode

06:54 of season one that Henry is, you know,

06:56 from a Filipino family and there's a lot of similarities

07:00 between a Filipino family dynamic

07:02 and a Latino family dynamic.

07:04 And so there's definitely that overlap,

07:06 but there's also the differences.

07:07 So in season two, we really see Henry relax

07:12 into belonging to the Diaz family dynamic.

07:15 And then we see that challenge that occurs

07:18 when Jorge meets Henry's parents.

07:21 But then ultimately at the end of the day,

07:23 it ends in love.

07:24 That's the through line.

07:25 So there's this, we were saying it earlier, Mark,

07:28 there's just this underlying acceptance, you know,

07:32 it's not just with our LGBTQ queer representation,

07:35 but there is this acceptance of one another

07:38 and where we're at.

07:39 And that goes for, you know, the loving relationships,

07:43 like the romantic relationships we have on the show,

07:45 as well as the familial.

07:46 And that really gets highlighted in season two.

07:49 So we're gonna go deeper into all those themes

07:52 and you're gonna hear conversations and moments

07:54 that we didn't see in season one.

07:56 And we also, season two is also a little hottier.

08:00 It's pretty exciting, sexy,

08:04 but yeah, it's pretty wild.

08:07 - I love that.

08:08 Well, thank you guys so much for your time today

08:10 and congratulations on season two.

08:13 In what ways do we see the relationship

08:16 between Saul and Dr. Miles Murphy evolve in season two?

08:21 - Yeah, so in this season,

08:23 you're gonna see a lot more conflict.

08:25 You're gonna see a lot more of, you know,

08:27 we're stepping out of the hospital

08:29 and a lot more of real life situations

08:31 of you're around my family now.

08:33 And what does that dynamic do?

08:35 How does that dynamic shift for my family and for you?

08:38 And seeing my dynamic with my family,

08:40 what would that do for you?

08:41 So you see a lot more conflict

08:44 and you'll see Miles learn a lot more

08:48 about because of that conflict.

08:49 But also you see them kind of like adjustable

08:52 for themselves to kind of continue to love each other,

08:57 but also to grow together.

08:58 - Absolutely.

09:00 And Todd, you know, what does your character teach you

09:03 about the nuances that come with love in this season?

09:07 - So much.

09:10 I think, you know, as human beings,

09:12 we just need to be really willing to communicate

09:15 and listen in relationships.

09:17 I find that to be the most important thing.

09:21 We need to stay in relationships, you know,

09:24 in life in general.

09:26 And so, you know, I think we see Miles and Saul

09:29 really get into that this season, you know,

09:31 and have like really important big conversations

09:35 in a really deep, authentic way

09:38 that we've never seen before on TV

09:40 and really come out stronger because of it.

09:43 And, you know, and I find that to be the same

09:47 in real life as well, you know.

09:50 - I definitely agree.

09:51 And, you know, Isis, one thing that I kind of noticed

09:54 is kind of foreshadowed in the first episode

09:57 is just, you know, you have your own things going on

10:00 in your relationship,

10:02 but still finding time to be there for Lily.

10:04 How would you say that your character balances that

10:08 in this season?

10:09 - In season two, okay.

10:11 - Yeah, in season two.

10:12 - I love in season two, you kind of see,

10:14 it was similar in season one of like the first episode

10:18 with our dynamic, Saul and Lily.

10:21 I just think being a good cousin, you know,

10:24 kind of being like the older sister Lily never had

10:28 or the older sibling Lily never had.

10:31 I know how that is because I'm the oldest sibling,

10:34 but I'm also the oldest cousin of my generation of cousins.

10:37 So I know that feeling when I was younger

10:41 that like everyone would ask me, or even my friends,

10:43 everyone would always ask me the advice.

10:46 So I fell into that naturally

10:49 because I feel like that's who Saul is.

10:51 They're the person that gives good advice,

10:54 is always grounded and kind of really helpful.

10:57 So I would feel like you would always go to a person

11:00 like that who you can trust and believe in their judgment.

11:04 - Absolutely.

11:06 And then lastly for you, Todd,

11:08 I wanted to know if you could describe season two

11:11 of "With Love" in either three words or a sentence,

11:15 what would you say?

11:16 - Hilarious, heartwarming,

11:22 and sexy.

11:25 - Ooh, I like that.

11:27 And Isis, do you have three words or a sentence?

11:29 - Yeah, I would say,

11:32 wait Tyra, you said heartwarming already?

11:34 - I did, but you know, we can just sort of say it.

11:38 - I would say loving,

11:40 chaotic,

11:43 and family.

11:46 - Yes, yes.

11:48 Well, thank you guys so much for your time

11:50 and congratulations on season two.

11:53 - Thank you so much.
