Tennille Read stars In The New Season Of Workin' Moms Interview by Blaine Schlechter TENNILLE READ Canadian Actress Interview by Blaine Schlechter Project Four PR www.imherewithmag.com/blog-1/tennill…of-workin-moms In Season 1 of Workin’ Moms, fans were immersed into the hilarious yet realistic lives of four women juggling motherhood with jobs and responsibilities. At the end of season two we meet Bianca played by Tennille Read. We’re getting a crash-course in the emotions and doubts that go along with deciding to get pregnant. And, of course, we’re shown the support system Frankie (Juno Rinaldi) can supply. “It’s a great take on motherhood and starting from the very beginning,” Read says during a recent phone chat. “The fears, the anxiety, the uncertainties, especially showing it through the eyes of a single woman. Bianca is flying solo; she isn’t partnered with anyone and she’s deciding to start a family. I think that is unique to the show and hasn’t really been explored before.” Read teases viewers will see a new side to Frankie as well, because she’s in a place of more stability and can help. (Though, it must be said, Juniper did throw a curve ball at Frankie last week.)" I’d like to start first by congratulating you on recently joining the cast of Workin’ Moms as the character of Bianca. Can you tell us a bit about the character and what she brings to the show? Bianca is a friend of Frankie’s…their friendship was established in season 2, just at the end there, and she becomes Frankie’s friend. She is warm hearted and very generous; and she’s kind of courageous because she’s decided to be a single parent and Frankie kind of brings her under her wing since Frankie’s been through pregnancy and stuff before. I think what Bianca beings to the show is this new type of motherhood; someone who is flying solo with the process of getting pregnant and the challenges that come up within that. Speaking of Frankie, you and fellow actress Juno Rinaldi have some great on screen chemistry, how did the two of you build that up so quickly? (Laughs) How did we build that up so quickly? I think Juno and I are just pretty easy going people in general and so chatting with her off screen was really easy and so it kind of just translates very easily on camera as well. It definitely comes across as some great chemistry and its fun to watch. Was it hard joining a TV show that is already established and showing some success? It wasn’t, because everyone’s just super nice. I think it helped that most of the scenes that I started off shooting earlier in block 1 were just with Frankie, so it was a lot of one-on-one. I got to get to know a lot of the crew; there were familiar faces in the crew that I had worked with on past shows where I was doing those day player roles and there were a few of them like that so it was very comfortable to be on the set because I already knew them, so that was great. And over the few months that we were shooting, every so often I would run into a cast member that I wouldn’t have a scene with, or if I did it was very brief…like in hair and make-up or something. Like Dani Kind comes to mind, and she’s just so personable and nice. We could immediately start chatting like friends and that was across the board with a lot of the members. Also, Sarah McVie, who plays Val on the show, she lives in my building (laughs), so I got to know her before I started shooting season 3. So all these little connections helped make that transition onto the show smooth.
