And then find out that she's stuck. Aw. Yeah. She is she is that talented. I mean, I'd I'd probably get stuck there with her.

Young Hollywood

Well, how did they reveal it to you guys in the cast?

Marisol Nichols Reveals

Oh, that's right. Okay, so we got it um we knew it was coming. And so the night we were supposed to get the script and then do the read-through the next day we're waiting and waiting and I remember just checking my email going it hasn't come in, it hasn't come in, it hasn't come in. And so literally, we found out at the read-through with the script about two minutes before we're supposed to start reading it live. And so we're like peeking and trying to see who killed him and what is it and who. And so Roberto yelled at us and told us not to peek.

Young Hollywood

This is who killed Jason, by the way, for anybody who hasn't following along from episode one. Yes. Who killed Jason Blossom. So were you guys shocked? Were you shocked?

Marisol Nichols Reveals

Completely. We will find out at the end of season one. Yep. Yeah, okay.
