The CW
EW spoke with Bre-Z about Coop’s latest journey.
You’re not dead."
What was the process of you learning about this?
And I was like, “What do you mean?!”
But she was like, “I don’t want you to worry.”
She didn’t tell me if I was going to live or die.
She just said she didn’t want me to worry.
I’m so thankful that they decided to save my life.
It was very emotional.
And I think it was so emotional for our audience.
And I didn’t have anything to tell anybody.
I’m realizing like, wow, this show really touches people.
People are really invested here and especially in my character.
You know what I mean?
They are waiting to see what’s going to happen with you.
Well, what has the experience been like for you?
People don’t necessarily just stay the same.
And I think we should be seeing growth within Coop.
This is the huge challenge, coming out of a gunshot.
But I’m definitely excited to see how she comes out on the other side of this.
So we are super excited because this is something that we both wanted for years.
We’ve been wanting to work together.
And I love working with Cody and I love his character.
What’s it been like for you to really get to play the ups and downs of that relationship?
What do we want to do?
Like, what is our dream?
What is our passion?
And when you choose certain things over your relationship, it can get tricky.
But I don’t know what you would expect.
If you look back at yourself in high school, like, what did you expect?
The ups and downs of the relationship, that’s normal.
I don’t want Coop to be that.
High school is about the trickiest time to be in a relationship.
I think when we are there, when we’re in high school, we don’t see that.
We really think this is it.
We’re going to be together forever.
Before you know it, you’re 30, and this person’s nowhere to be found.
