Q & A with New Girl's Creator & Executive Producer Liz Meriwether - Page 3

I think that they're still really struggling with their feelings towards each other even though they both keep trying to move on. That is definitely something that we are going to follow to the end of the season, just to see if Cece is going to take this all the way through and get married.

I actually really loved Brenda Song's cameo on the show and I just wanted to know how much more she's going to be featured in the season and where that's going with her and Winston?

Yes, that was the other kiss of the night. Yes, she is awesome. We has such a great time with her on the show and she is definitely sticking around and she is not in next week's episode but the episode after.

I mean, she has such a great dynamic with Lamorne and she's so funny and we love her character being really hard on him. The way we see her character is sort of just like tough love, almost coach for Winston, and she's been really funny in that, and we're hoping that she sticks around for awhile. She's great.

What can you share about the rest of the season?

Well, we're going to have a lot of awesome episodes coming. I mean, the rest of the season, this is like a really huge sort of thing that's happened, and I think the rest of the season is really dealing with, not every episode is about what happened, but I think a lot of the subtext has come up to the surface and that's been really fun to write for because there's a lot of tension that's out in the open and everyone's trying to figure out where they stand.

I think Nick and Jess, in particular, are trying to figure out how they feel about each other. There are a lot of obstacles for them. They don't have the kind of relationship where anything is easy. I mean, they're always at odds. They're very different people and they are attracted to each other, but that doesn't solve a lot of the problems that they have of just like Nick never showering and Jess is like effervescence and optimism in the face of Nick's like hatred of the world and people.

A lot of that stuff hasn't been resolved and I think the rest of the season is really like them fighting their feelings and fighting their attraction and trying to figure out what they really want out of each other. It's been really fun to write for and really fun to watch on set. The actors have been really great in sort of embracing this new dynamic.
