And that was Laura Donney, said Schaeffer.
She was like, Shes Jolene.
And we were just like, everybody fell out.
In episode six ofAgatha All Along, the titular witch’s surprising origin story is revealed.
It was so funny.
Parton has revealed that Jolene was inspired by a red-haired bank clerk that flirted with her husband Carl Dean.
Sounds like a good cover for a witch laying low.
Schaeffer previously spoke to Deadline about unpackingBillys origin storyin the latest episode.
So the comic lore, the story thats in the comics, is bananas.
Its very complicated, and I found it hard to parse, she explained.
The idea that the Kaplans were non-superhero folk, but very good people and good parents.
We were really committed to that from the very beginning, added Schaeffer.
It was never anything other than that.
We wanted the Kaplans to actually be that.
So that was really important.
