SPOILER ALERT! This post contains MAJOR spoilers for the entirety of Ginny & Georgia Season 3.
Season 3 of Ginny & Georgia puts its dynamic mother-daughter duo to the test like never before, and that’s saying something, because the pair have been through a lot — both individually and as a family unit.
Following the crazy cliffhanger ending of Season 2 in which Georgia (Brianne Howey) gets arrested during the reception of her wedding to Mayor Paul Randolph (Scott Porter) for the murder of Tom Fuller. Shortly before this shocking situation, she had experienced the return of her violent ex and son Austin’s father Gil Timmins (Aaron Ashmore). As if these elements of her past weren’t enough to come back and haunt her, Ginny often mirrors her mother in uncanny ways, reminding Georgia of decisions she has made that brought her to this situation.
“We see so many different examples of how these two women are basically the same person in different forms,” Gentry told Deadline before the launch of Season 3 regarding a specific moment later on in the show that is discussed more in depth below.
Of course the duo wouldn’t be who they are if the principle of like mother like daughter didn’t apply, or what Gentry calls “a more Georgia-fied Ginny.” In the below interview, the pair discuss two of the biggest “heartwarming” and “heartbreaking” moments in Season 3 of the Netflix series.
DEADLINE: You both have somewhat unexpected pregnancies this season. What were conversations behind those scenes were like, and how do they affect the dynamic between your characters with each one?
BRIANNE HOWEY: Yes, well, I think we start with Ginny’s.
ANTONIA GENTRY: For Ginny to basically go through the same experience that Georgia did at her age but have the support system to really make a decision for what’s best for her is truly one of the more heart-warming aspects of that situation.
I love that the show creator wanted to really how important it is to be able to have agency over your own body and to make your own decisions and what’s right for you. Because what’s right for Ginny isn’t necessarily the same thing that was right for Georgia, and I think for Georgia to give Ginny that space to make that choice, [it]’s a testament to how far they’ve come in their relationship. But then she goes and like, I mean …
HOWEY: Well, and only Ginny is onto Georgia. Georgia’s unaware what drinking the milk could possibly mean, but I think as far as Georgia finding out about Ginny’s pregnancy, it is one of the first times we see Georgia make a new decision, a new choice. She doesn’t make this about her. She doesn’t consume all of the oxygen in the room. It’s Ginny’s choice. And I think it surprised all of us that Georgia took a step back and said, I want you to make the choice that’s right for you. I’m not going to manipulate the situation. So I think it brings them closer in a way, and that Ginny had to sneak into the house to tell Georgia, I think made Georgia feel really needed in a moment when she’s at her rock bottom.
Going off that, there are a lot of moments where your characters both see each other, like that scene when the poem comes out, and then when Georgia runs away. How does Georgia fleeing and then turning back around symbolize this dynamic that they are ride or die.
HOWEY: Absolutely, that was one of the more heartbreaking moments of this whole season. To me. I couldn’t believe Georgia was running again, but we had to wrap our heads around the fact that everyone had gotten into Georgia’s head. She’s seeing all of this, these, diagnoses being made about her online and on TV. Everyone around her is telling her what a horrible mom she is, and she’s starting to truly, truly believe that her children are better off with their dads. And there might be some truth to it, of course. Again, I love that the show isn’t so black and white. There is a lot of gray area.
GENTRY: And I think for Ginny, the heartbreaking phone call of like, “You ran?” really just shows — Ginny has never witnessed her mom in this broken of a state before. She’s always like, “Oh, I never really know. I never really know with my mom,” but she really is unrecognizable to Ginny, and so for her to run, but then come back, and her idea of coming back and just accepting her fate and going to jail like forever to prison, Ginny’s like “No, that can’t be what actually happens.”
And so she sort of takes the reins and being the one to make the choices shady as they are, to bring her family together, which is, it’s just really interesting to see the two of them this season in such states of vulnerability and strengths. And then now we have, we have Baby Wellsbury? Who knows?
Oh is that what y’all are calling it?
HOWEY: Potentially, there’s a call back in season one, where if Georgia were to get pregnant, what would she name the baby?
Antonia just going off what you said. I’m curious what it was like to step into those shoes, and being the most like Georgia maybe she’s ever been?
GENTRY: Oh, it’s so fun. I hope we get more of that. I’m so excited for more of a Georgia-fied Ginny.
