So that part of her and her heart for the people takes over more than her comfortability of being at home in this nice high rise. Whereas her family, I’m going to call them, where she pretty much grew up, her community, is out on the streets and they literally have nowhere to live. It’s not because she dislikes her, but it’s more so the fact that she’s uncomfortable because she’s up in this big, beautiful apartment. What can you say about what’s next for Angela now that she’s moved out?Ĭhantel Riley: There’s only so long that she can stay up in that house.

You get to see her with Angela’s kids or Angela’s mother, and you get to see a much softer side to her. But what’s great with this show is that you get to see a completely different side of her. She’s this big bad wolf that everyone loves or was scared of. Like you said, we always see her in the office. And it’s so much different than what we’re used to seeing Jessica in. Their scenes are very poignant and powerful.Ĭhantel Riley: Yes, absolutely. I love your scenes together because it’s not set in this really high stakes world that she’s usually in. But she’s also just so real and down to earth and I’m so grateful to have had a chance to work with her. She’s been so open and just warm and welcoming and giving me pointers and tips on how to stay fresh and how to survive in this industry. And I’m even taking some of that and putting into my own projects that I’m starting and developing myself. She’s been in the industry for a long time now, so just taking on how she works as an actor, how she handles herself, how she carries herself now as an executive producer and learning from that. I always tell everyone, it’s like a master class. Most of my scenes I get to spend with her and watching her work. What’s that been like for you to really develop this really interesting relationship with Gina as your characters?Ĭhantel Riley: It’s been great. You get to see a little bit more of their relationship develop. So you kind of see that dynamic between the two of them grow and Angela becomes a little less stubborn and mean towards Jessica or cold, I’ll say. You know what I mean? Family is going to be family forever. They are the same in some instances, but just like in any family, you’re going to have some fallouts and then you get back together, you work together, and you love each other regardless. So, that tension really grew, and Jessica has been trying and trying and Angela’s stubborn just like Jessica. It kind of left Angela feeling like, well, where have you been all this time? Who are you? Yeah, you’ve got money in but you don’t know Chicago. So having someone who’s not really from there or grow up there to just come in all of a sudden and be like, here, I can just fix everything, no problem. Angela has a few trust issues, but I think that’s only because she’s a mother and she’s living with her mother so she’s trying to protect her family and her community. Now that we’re in the back half of the first season, what can say about where the relationship between Jessica and Angela is going to go and how it’s going to evolve?Ĭhantel Riley: It definitely started off a little rocky. Chantel also discussed her newest project that she’s executive producing and her upcoming EP. While she doesn’t know anything about Wynonna Earp season 4 (yet), Chantel gushed about how “welcoming and so kind” the Earpers have been since she joined the show. She talked about working and learning alongside Gina Torres, who plays Jessica Pearson. Pearson is nearing the end of its stellar first season and Chantel opened up to HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY about Angela and Jessica’s fascinating and complicated dynamic.
