One telling character second confirmed the writers’ room that Hewson had nice instincts that immediately made Van one of the relatable characters on the present. “We had toyed around with a tragic, tragic death for Van,” Lyle stated on the PaleyFest panel. Hewson was stunned to seek out out which scene modified her character’s destiny perpetually.
“There was a great moment that we found when Jackie lined everybody up at the kegger, and Liv made the choice that before they went, they topped off their beer,” Nickerson stated. That fast improvisation was sufficient to persuade the writers to maintain Van round. A shocked Hewson exclaimed, “That was it?!” That little occasion of Van hitting the keg another time sounds precisely like one thing your individual good friend would do at a celebration. It immediately gave Van somewhat extra of a cool issue and a humorousness that the writers have taken full benefit of.
Renaming the impromptu homecoming dance the surviving women have within the woods to “Doomcoming” is one other private favourite quip. Those one-liners make Van all of the extra endearing to followers, and to Hewson as properly. They defined the love they’ve for Van and the shut connection they really feel in direction of the character. “I read somewhere once that the actors who play face characters at Disneyland aren’t allowed to say that they play those characters. ‘I’m a friend of Snow White’s'” Hewson stated. “That’s how I feel about Van. She’s real, and she’s my friend.”
