Favorite Character: Elizabeth Christina Magdalene Ortecho aka the only reason to watch the show

“They are heroic characters, Liz and Max, they are such good people. And they are so in service of things beyond themselves… She is so lit on fire, she is such an activist. She wants to save the world.” - Jeanine Mason

Sunrise on Crashdown - Our Intrepid Leader: A Celebration of Liz Ortecho

Our Intrepid Leader: Jeanine Mason

“I was thinking about this the other day because it’s Hispanic Heritage Month. I was doing a scene the other day with Mr. Michael Trevino, and we have a new recurring guest this year playing a character named Steph. Her name is Justine, and she’s from New York, she’s Puerto Rican. We were just sitting in our chairs, just chatting. I realized that one of the shows I watched growing up was Gossip Girl, and I remember watching that show and thinking, maybe one day I’ll be on a CW show if I get cast as the ethnically ambiguous Vanessa character, maybe there’s space for me there. I remember sitting in our chairs like, ‘Oh my God, this is my fucking show and this is how many of us we have here.’” (article)
