Motherland: Fort Salem Stars Reveal What's In Their Phones

Hi Ashley again. Welcome to How are you? Good how are you. So for the other two girls, I talked to Ashley last season in like deep depths of quarantine. Well, nice to meet you guys. I can't wait to talk. I watched the first episode of Season 2 this morning. Yeah. So.

How'd you like it?

It's I I normally wouldn't watch that type of show but because like I was talking to you guys I was like okay like they're really good in this they're like very convincing like and I saw a tweet where everybody's like there's just so much to unpack every episode. And I was like I'm like one episode in and there's just a lot to get through right now. So. Loved it though you guys are killing it. Are any of you on set right now? Are you all on set?

I am. Yes, I am shooting a movie in Chicago right now. So

Oh gotcha. That's where you get this setup here.

This is my normal Um but yeah that's what I'm doing.

Do you guys okay so you have like a group chat to stay in touch. How do you guys communicate usually stay in touch?

Absolutely. Yeah we have um we have a couple we have with the three of us and then we have one with the six of us and then we have one with like all of the cast from like every season.

Yes. Yeah There's a lot. I feel like a lot of people to just be in contact with most of the time. And before for each of you before you when you found out you first got the part like Season 1 original do you after you guys read the script do you think it would be a show that you would watch if you weren't in it today?

That's tricky. I don't know. Well, I wouldn't be able to watch it. I'd be still in South Africa. And um yeah you know we don't get much in terms of American access to cable. So I don't think I would just physically be able to even if I wanted to. So no for you.

I love like folklore and uh anything to do with wiccan culture historically or just you know fictionally. So um I probably would watch it. Yeah Because I watch most shows like that but um I would definitely probably at least check it out. Yeah I think

Would Abigail be your favorite character?

Honestly not.

That's what I was gonna say. I was like hmm.

It's a great question.

It'd probably be Tally. Yeah. Tally's a lot Tally's a lot of energy. Yeah I I think I don't know I feel like Season 1 I can relate to Abigail a little bit. So like maybe because you know parallels. Um but I don't know I always say like if there was a character I'd want to play it'd be Scylla. Like hands down.

I agree with Tay. Yeah. The underdog.

Yeah.

And when you guys you found out that you got renewed for Season 2 right during quarantine.

Yes.

How did you guys celebrate?

Champagne. On Instagram Live. Yeah. Zoom and Instagram live. And uh Edge of 17 isn't that what we played?

Yeah. Yeah. That's our theme song.

Busting it out.

And what would you like what was your first thought like individually like you found out obviously you weren't together when you found out.

Um Ashley ruined it for Jessica because I did.

You didn't ruin it you didn't ruin it.

Well, okay. So I was like dead asleep and I get this call from Eliot and I wake up and I like scream. He's like we got renewed. I'm like, Ah! And my parents are outside like planting flowers they come in they're like what's wrong and I'm like we got picked up for Season 2. And I immediately go to the group chat I'm like guys we got it. Eliot just called me. And Taylor texts me she's like what. No no no no. Like Jessica doesn't know. I'm like Yeah.

It's what I'm talking about. Being in South Africa just the time difference alone it's like I'm not I'm the last to know. But I have to say I mean it was a pretty great It was a perfect way of finding out. My co-star screaming. It was just the fact that we were picked up. Right. I don't think either like any of us could believe that. I mean being in a global pandemic I didn't I didn't expect to have a job waiting for me being also on the other side of the world. It was like travel's not possible. Yeah. So there's that. And I kind of embarrassingly like I I embarrassingly will admit that I thought I might be replaced just because I end season 1 old and I thought they could probably they could. So I could've I was like well it's not.

No they could. Tay and I were dead. Like we were just defeated.

Yeah.

You were just defeated. Recap for Season 2. We're like do we even get them back to life. Like how do we do this?

Well, I'm glad you guys you know are alive in this episode.

Yes. Likewise. Me too. Job security got that.

So there's a lot of theories on Twitter. I'm sure you guys have probably gone through them have seen social media post and you obviously know what happened. So besides the theories what's one thing that you wish would happen differently than what's going to happen in the show. Like what would you personally write in versus like what they actually

Does it have to be for this season or can this apply for like way down the road if we had like Season 4 or 5?

Yeah yeah good question. I love how you say 4 or 5 because Not 3 and 5. For this season because there's so many theories for this season.

Oh man. Something differently? Oh I don't wanna spoil anything. Yeah. Yeah. Tay and I have been the biggest spoilers recently. It used to just be me and now Taylor's catching on. Good thing you're not the only bad guy. Um. Glad you fam. Man. I I wish some characters uh would connect sooner or that their storylines would line up sooner. Um I also wish some some characters connected like later in the story. Like I wish that some some arcs were drawn out a little more. Yeah. You know me I love angst. A little bit of angst does you good. Yeah. I like I can't I'm gonna say too much. I can't. I would very like more scenes with the six of us. That'd be nice. I don't think we've had one with the six of us yet.

Oh we haven't. We've had five. Oh wait. But does that

We've had one. You guys don't No that does not I know what you're talking about. I know what you're talking about. Technically that does not count I feel like.

It counts. I'm counting it.

Can we have dialogue together? Yeah correct. This is not We're in the same scene but it's like we're in the same place. That's all. I always like I have no clue what you're talking about. Like I'm sorry. Um And maybe I don't know traveling to Yeah. I wanna travel. A certain tropical climate. I remember the first season the first season that's what I was gonna say the first season just like can we just shoot in South Africa. And I'm pretty sure someone was like Season 3 you got it. And we're approaching Season 3 now and we're just like So we going to South Africa or what's popping. Yeah. Ends up on an island. Tropical island. Let's go. You never know.

Do you guys have your phones next to you?

Yes.

Okay I figured that was going to be a yes. Okay. So this is going to be a quick little game. It's called the phone tour. So we're gonna go through your phones okay? Are you ready?

Hopefully there's not anything bad. It's gonna be really boring. That's all. Oh my god.
