So many things happen.

There’s a lot of new stuff.

For people who have been watching the show, you haven’t seen it all.

One of the producers revealed last year that the character of Melanie will be returning this season.

Will we have to wait long for that?

Uh, honestly, I have no idea.

I haven’t seen anything, so I don’t know.

We shoot out of order, so who knows?

I can’t reveal in what capacity she is returning.

They can fire me!

Is there a particular moment that springs to mind when you think of shooting season 3?

That was a very good time.

I’ve laughed a lot this season at just the lunacy of the set-up.

Obviously, you’ve been filming under Covid protocols for a while.

What was it like shooting this season compared to the previous one?

This one, the borders in Canada were shut down while we were there.

That really didn’t exist this last season.

It made me very grateful to be with the people I’m with on this show.

It would have been impossible in a different group I think.

How do you entertain yourselves of an evening?

[Laughs] In a lot of ways.

We got really good at that.

Present company excepted, who is the best dancer in the cast?

[Laughs] Mike O’Malley gets down!
