from creator Mark Schwahn and other misconduct by producers on the set. And while some fans, including this writer, have found it difficult to re-watch the series in light of the damage done behind the scenes, Bush explains why the show itself shouldn’t be ruined and how she came to terms with what they’d experienced.
Schwahn often goes unnamed when bad behavior on set is mentioned — because as Bush points out, “It isn’t just about him” — and discussions about what went on behind the scenes will be addressed on a case-by-case basis. “We all went through love, and loss, and success, and heartbreak. We had our best and worst moments together,” Bush shares. “There’s things that happened in the press that everybody knows about, unfortunately. And there’s things that happened behind closed doors that only we know about. It’s about so much more than that [trauma] for us. But the reclamation does feel really good.”
“And in a way, at the time, I felt like I wasn’t allowed to admit that I was terrified,” she says of the deeply personal episode. “It’s like the nightmare where you go into school, and you realize you’re naked; I felt so exposed.”“What was so amazing is I took such a personal fear and put it up on screen for the world to see. And hundreds of thousands of women said, ‘I feel like that too,’ and they still do,” she says.
Besides “Drama Queens,” Bush has been busy speaking before Congress to promote COVID-19 vaccine awareness and prepping to star in CBS’ medical drama “Good Sam”; she’s also hosting“Having worked on political campaigns since 2007, and being in activist spaces for longer than that as an advocate, I was like, ‘Hold on, I can have a FaceTime with Gloria Steinem. I’m texting with Cori Bush about her congressional run,’” she says of launching the Wondery podcast in 2019.
Plus, both shows are a great use of her USC journalism degree. “My dad says, ‘Well, look at you. You’ve made this hybrid career for yourself.’”” and “Drama Queens” simultaneously, explaining that both feed a different part of her desire to create community with fans. “The two shows are different and yet they feel like they have this very symbiotic energy,” Bush says.
“The cast and crew of our show is phenomenal and our show is run by the most incredible women [including creator Katie Wech],” Bush says. And as an added bonus — or really a requirement of the way the actor works now — Bush describes the production dynamic as “restorative, creative, and kind.”
