TheStarScoop.Com spoke to Michelle Trachtenberg and Taylor Schilling in a mutli-media interview recently! Here’s what they had to say to TheStarScoop.com.
THE STAR SCOOP:
This question is for both of you, I wanted to know why you guys think Mercy has been so successful with fans. There’s been a great buzz about it and why do you think that has happened?
TAYLOR SCHILLING:
You know, our show is really about people’s relationships and trying to portray that as honestly as we can. And I think that people can relate to that. Between the three women and their relationships outside of our friendship I think there’s a lot of honesty there and it’s quite heartfelt. So, I think people can kind of tap into that.
MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG:
Yes, I think women are looking at a show with three women. It’s kind of rare to have such strong female characters especially in network television where a lot of it is like a guy and a girl. I think probably a lot of women really relate to having three diverse characters and they can find things to relate to within each one
THE STAR SCOOP:
And Michelle, you’ve had a lot of fans follow with you, starting out young and to this point have you noticed those same fans are with you still as you’ve grown up and, you know, been on these two new shows that might attract these same fans?
MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG:
I mean I would hope that they follow me through the projects and of course I’m very grateful to them. I mean I have had people coming up to me that say, I’ve been a fan of yours since this or this or this. And it’s funny the projects they pull out. So I don’t have specifically like this person came up to me and said I watched you here and now there. But it’s very flattering to know that obviously some people have followed me throughout my career. And I’m hoping that, you know, they appreciate Mercy as much as we all do.
