Grace Van Petten has shared insights into her character’s mental state Tell me lies season 3.
During a conversation with PEOPLE MagazineVan Patten has opened up about her character’s emotional headspace Lucy in Tell Me Lies season 3.
The actress reportedly discussed filming the “really difficult” and intimate scenes between Lucy and Alex, played by Costa D’Angelo.
According to Van Patten, those moments are meant to reflect how emotionally unstable Lucy has become.
“There’s something very dark about it,” Van Patten said of Lucy’s new romantic connection.
“Really dark and very tragic, and shows how mentally low Lucy really is.”
She went on to explain that Lucy does not outwardly express her inner struggles in her friendships or in everyday life.
Instead of opening up ‘to her friendships or [in] her daily life,” Van Patten noted that Lucy processes her emotions in the bedroom with Alex, a choice that makes her behavior “even more secretive and unconscious.”
“She’s so far removed from reality,” Van Patten added.
