rather than starting to change.” Tohn believes Esther is on a self-realization journey, asking herself questions about her life trajectory.
Hair as a Metaphor
The actress discusses the significance of hair changes in Esther’s journey: “The Morgan stuff may have precipitated it, but she’s just on a journey. It’s so relatable how many of us are walking down the street and you’re like, is this even what I want? And maybe the answer is yes, but she’s just asking the questions.” Tohn reveals that the bangs were not her idea but added, “The fake ones look so good.”
Future of Nothing Wants This
When asked about a potential third season, Tohn expresses excitement: “In a potential season three, what do I want to see for Esther? I’d love to see Esther’s family. I’d love to meet her parents.” She suggests a myriad of possibilities, mentioning Bette Midler, Barbra Streisand, Fran Drescher, and Susie Essman as potential mothers.
Overall, Jackie Tohn’s insights provide valuable context into the emotional journey of her character Esther in Nothing Wants This. The ambiguity surrounding relationships and personal growth offer a compelling narrative for fans to ponder as they wait for the next season.
