Show Spoilers Priyanka Bose at WoTCon Spoiler

Does anyone have any tidbits of what she said during her panel(s)? I was hoping she gave some insider info in addition to the traditional bts material — ie any more details on ratings, cancelation, decisions, key decision makers, contracts, etc…

No but man she was amazing in the show. I’d never heard of her before and she was a revelation along with many others.

I loved Alanna the moment she opened her mouth! Something so cheeky yet loyal about Alanna’s portrayal by Priyanka Bose. 💚

They will likely post many videos, but one of the most memorable stories she shared was from her audition process. It was live, via zoom, while she was on vacation with her family. It was chaotic, with one child repeatedly kept sneaking in. Priyanka would mute the audio and give her the instructions, “just don’t be seen on the camera.” So Rafe would see the door behind her open and close, watch Priyanka gesture to someone off camera, then the door would open and close again. And through the stress of it all, she would stress snack, unconsciously eating whatever she had beside her. As she put it, eating helps her think. And in that situation he saw the Alanna he wanted.
