I feel like Celina [is] like my little sister or daughter in a sense. We love her so much, and we definitely have a lot of Nolan/Bailey/Celina scenes in the house and stuff that happen [that are] really fun, because there is a good shorthand. I think she really gets me and has my back and I always have her back, and I’m kind of teasing Nolan a lot about that. It’s like, “Well, you know, Celina’s right,” and then the two of us [have] our spiritual, woo-woo kind of senses, she’s rubbing off of me in that way, and he’s always rolling his eyes. It’s cute. It’s been fun. I love Celina. I think that that character is so fun. We just love Liz so much, so every time she’s in scenes with us, we get really excited.
