It was really fun.

She and I had a lot of stuff in an earlier season, she noted.

I guess in Season 1, she was haunting me a lot.

Then I think she was too busy to haunt in Season 2.

So, it was nice to have her back again.

Shes such a good actor, and shes a very cool person.

It was really fun just to kind of take a stab at forget about it all.

It was very fun to reunite with Ella.

I got to see her last season, and hopefully shes back in Season 4, said Nelisse.
