Spoilers ahead for theseason-one finaleofYellowjackets.
Meeting Jackie in the pilot of ShowtimesYellowjacketsis like running into an old foe.
What if she thaws out in the springtime and becomes a woman of the woods?
The girl who still wore makeup in the wilderness?)
The season finale ends with Jackie unconscious, covered in snow.
Did you know how far Jackie was going to make it?I did, yeah.
When I signed up for the pilot, they told me, This is a one-season deal.
Jackie will die in the finale.
And theyre like, No, shes gotta go.
I definitely was kind of bummed when it finally hit me two and a half years later.
One hundred percent thats how were feeling, too.
Like,Maybe theyll warm her up.Im pretty sure Im dead.
Ive got many theories, but Im not going to share them.
Id love to come back.
Really, Id love to haunt as many people as I can.
Everyone else has that demonic I love you.
Episode one, you see her in her element.
Shes queen bee; she has everything going for her.
She doesnt have any interests or hobbies or musings or observations deep inside.
So when you ask someone to dig deep into the depths of their resilience, she has nothing there.
Thats everything shes wanted in this one moment.
When she doesnt pull her weight in the group, that would piss anyone off.
That would piss me off!
I was worried I would lose the audience early on and they wouldnt give a shit if I died.
The second one is when she reads Shaunas journals.
Jane Widdop is super-big on Reddit and Twitter, and I dont do Twitter or anything like that.
I didnt actually think about any of that.
Even the smallest details from the show have become theories about Jackie maybe possibly being alive.
When someones in denial, there is no telling to what ends they will go.
The fight Jackie and Shauna get into is completely brutal.
and everyone just gave me a group hug and it was fine.
Its six months in the forest.
And its usually me.
And I would literally just be like, No, not for me.
No, not for me.
I was literally being Jackie.
We spoke a lot about costume; I think I didnt repeat any outfits or any items of clothing.
She found her suitcase, and shes gonna wear the clothes that she bought with her to nationals.
And shes going to rewear them and rewear them and rewear them.
And around the time she read Shaunas journal was when I decided to let it go.
That was the point where I think Jackie really went,Fuck it, nothing matters.
She would bitch about it.
She would make everyone else feel really bad.
And then shed get really hungry and just fucking go for it.
Since you dont have a 2021 counterpart, do you know who you would want to play her?
My colleagues are thinking Sarah Michelle Gellar or Robin Tunney.I have no preference.
That means Im not dead!
