Jenna Clause, Shannon Berry, And Sophia Ali On The Wilds Season 2
What do you feel were the biggest changes with your character from where they started in Season 1 to then Season 2?
Jenna Clause: Martha definitely started off as a weak character. Her personality ... In real life, you could take someone who is sensitive or talks a certain way or acts a certain way. A lot of people overlook that as, "She's weird, she's this or that." It's very easy to categorize what Martha is. The biggest change with her is that she takes a 180. She finally starts to defy everything that she's starting to unlearn and really becomes a stronger person for the [group] dynamic. You'll see how it helps for other people in the meantime, but ultimately, it's taxing for Martha.
Shannon Berry: With Dot, the biggest challenge that happens to her in Season 2 is her accepting help and care from other people and accepting the support system around her. She struggled to accept her dad as a support system for her because she felt like she didn't deserve it. She wasn't the one in the terrible situation; it was him. Finally, that's the greatest ... it seems like it's a double-edged sword. It's the greatest gift her dad's ever given her, this trip to the island, because now she's found a support system. She's found a family, and she's learning how to accept that and how to bow out and say that sometimes it's all too much, and sometimes I can't take it all on.
What about for you, Sophia?
Sophia Ali: Fatin already knows all of the things that seem hard: taking care of yourself and being okay. She knows she can take care of herself, and that's something I've had to prove to myself. It's interesting to watch her start to care about people other than herself and learn not to feel weird about it, and learn how to do it well. I'm the opposite in that aspect. I feel like, trying to be an adult, I'm learning what I need rather than fixating so much on what everyone else needs. I wish I was Fatin and did it the other way around because that seems easier, to be honest.
