Eris Baker From 'This Is Us' Said She Researched Her Character's Coming Out Process
that Tess quietly announcing her sexuality on the show will “plant a seed for the future” of her character, and that “this is a slow story that will play out for Tess over the life of the show.”Aptaker saidOne episode after telling Kate, Tess also told both of her parents that she thinks she might be gay.
Baker told BuzzFeed News that it was important to her to accurately portray Tess’s character in those situations and that she put a lot of effort into preparing for that moment in her character’s time on screen. “I was doing my research because I have no idea what it’s like to portray a role like that, so when I was doing my research I saw that there’s not lots of young girls who are coming out to their parents on national television,” Baker said. “So I definitely took it to heart.”
As for how the actor feels about the future of her fictional parents, whose relationship has been on the rocks, Baker said she thinks Randall and Beth are “couple goals” and she hopes they stay together through their recent hardships.“This is [like] realistic life and people actually have problems and they’re going through it," she said,"but they’re working it out together as one.”Krystie Yandoli is an entertainment editor for BuzzFeed News and is based in New York.
