And there was a part of me that really wanted to see that happen, but I think the way it goes down keeps the story going, and it's drama. There was a moment where I was gonna give the tape to Jules with a letter saying, "I think you'd want this," and not say who was giving it to her, but give it back to her, which felt really nice for me. And there were different ways it was written, many different ways of what was gonna happen with the disc. It's something that I also brought up a lot. Yeah, it was something that Sam and I spoke about a lot when we first got back for season 2. Had you also been anxious how the other shoe would drop in her having the video of Cal ( Eric Dane ) and Jules? Were you wanting to see how that comes back up? It's heartbreaking to see her experience something so violent and traumatic, and it's the moment that really shifts things for her.Įddy Chen/HBO Jacob Elordi and Alexa Demie as Nate and Maddy on HBO's 'Euphoria.' She's going through every possible situation in her head while in survival mode and we see this person go too far, which breaks her. She also knows it's Jules in the tape and doesn't want to see her get hurt by giving it back to him. Nate is somebody she was with for a very long time and is very close to, and maybe for a second she thinks he's bluffing, or she doesn't think that he would actually go as far as to shoot her, which sounds crazy to say.ĭespite her feeling fear, she's trying to test how far this person she thought loved her would go. The duality between having that confidence, being really tough, and then being incredibly vulnerable. You know, I love Maddy because she's incredibly tough, but she's also incredibly vulnerable, and I think we really get to see those two sides of her. Why do you think Maddy tried to play off not having the tape at first? I have to kind of stay in my own world and tune everyone else out. And then during, I mean, it's such an intense scene that when you're not filming - because when they break, they're figuring out light and there's a lot going on - as an actor you just have to try to stay in your own world, and I'm definitely not the type of actor that can just break a scene like that and start laughing and joking. There were a couple of moments that were improvised, but not a lot of prep conversation beforehand. Sam was discovering new things with the camera, and Jacob and I were discovering new things with the dynamic between us. We were really figuring it out as we went on and as we were shooting it. What did you all do to prepare for it, and get through it? Was it something that you all had a lot of conversations about before going into production? What was happening in between scenes?

We had to move with the camera movements and it was really broken up, and so it took us two days to shoot. It was an incredibly difficult scene not only because of the gun to my head, but because it was choreographed in a really specific way. Was the Russian Roulette scene the hardest one you've had to shoot on the show?ĪLEXA DEMIE: Yes, for many reasons. I like that she's a little bit more nuanced and complex this season and not so in your face every second."

And so, I guess personally, I like what we see," the actress tells EW.ĭespite arguably bleaker circumstances than before, with Nate ( Jacob Elordi) not only exhibiting another violent outburst against Maddy, but sneaking around with her best friend Cassie ( Sydney Sweeney), Demie says, "I like that we see more vulnerability. And even if Sam and I aren't speaking, I feel like subconsciously all of the energies of all the cast members and Sam, it's all kind of blending.
