Written for Totah, the actress says she and Wigfield worked closely to develop who Lexi would ultimately be onscreen. “We were on the same page,” Totah says, adding that Wigfield, who was in constant communication with her, “was open to whatever I wanted to do. And I was really grateful for that.”
Totah was even named a producer on the series to help ensure that her character and storyline were representative of a genuine transgender experience. “We definitely had queer members on our writing staff, but as a producer, that was probably one of the sole goals of my role, which is telling the story as authentic as possible,” she says.
Instead, she came up with an idea that Lexi had this fear “of having all these things leaked from her,” like her crush on Jamie . “And I think that kind of drives the storyline… and that is why she develops a friendship with Daisy, because she’s the only one she can trust and I think it creates a beautiful arc for the show.”
The mix of meanness and sweetness and keeping in tone with the show is a hard line to straddle, but Totah does it seamlessly. When it comes to Lexi’s overall arc this season, the actress says she “loves how she’s on this journey of self-discovery. I feel like this character, she gives weight and backing to all those mean girls that we’ve seen in the past.
