She had already done so much TV work recently that she was scared to sign up for television again, she told The Times UK. She thought it would stop her from doing what she really wanted to do.

Jenna also recently talked about her role on a podcast on Wednesday, saying that she would often change the lead character’s lines if she didn’t agree with them. She recently said on the Armchair Expert podcast that she often has to sit down with the show’s writers and explain why she can’t speak scripted lines for Wednesday, especially if she feels the lines don’t make sense for the character.
