While filming an episode of the upcoming season, the Happy’s Place cast couldn’t contain their excitement behind the scenes.
“I think having a break and then being able to come back to the writing and just feel immediately back in with the characters, the dynamics, felt like we never left,” Escobedo (Bobbie’s half-sister, Isabella) gushed, a sentiment that her co-star Castelblanco (Bobbie’s accountant, Steve) echoed.
“This is gonna be a better season just because the characters know each other, we’re going to go deeper into them,” Castelblanco revealed. “We’re going to have the most fun.”
In the first look trailer, we see Bobbie fretting over making the first move on Emmett, after the two were awfully flirty towards the end of Season 1. Isabella encourages Bobbie to go for it — but the nervous sweats instantly get in the way. Then, Linn (McEntire’s on-screen love interest and real-life fiancé) gave some insider details about the romance between Bobbie and Emmett this season.
“There’s no way I deserve Bobbie, even though Emmett is a stud,” Linn adorably quipped as a scene shows the pair sharing a sweet moment where their fingers touch.
“I think we’re going to be together for a while until Emmett screws it up,” Linn joked before cheekily adding, “Or we might get married.”
After the trailer gave a glimpse of the studio audience, Melissa Peterman (Bobbie’s BFF and longtime bartender, Gabby) said, “It feels so great to be in front of a live audience again. My husband [John Brady] is so happy because I’ve been doing this at home for just one person. I mean, we know when jokes work. We know when they don’t.”
The icon, the legend, the beating heart of Happy’s Place, McEntire was keen to thank the viewers tuning in for keeping the laughs coming in Season 2. “Thank you to all the fans, because if it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t be here!” McEntire said before running off camera to jump into a scene.
