Perhaps the least well-received aspect of
Jessica Jones' second season was the arc given to Rachael Taylor's Trish Walker, a storyline that is sure to continue in the show's upcoming third season.
During a Q&A session at Comicpalooza, Ritter was asked about the pair's future and if Jessica would be able to forgive Trish following the events of "AKA Playland".
“I don’t know and I’ve been thinking a lot about that because we’re going into season 3 and how things were left were so hardcore,” Ritter said. “I built so much of my performance and so much of what I do with the character, if I ever get lost or if I’m ever like, ‘oh, what am I gonna do with this scene,’ I kind of always go back to Jessica’s love for Trish."
Ritter goes on to talk about just how much Trish's actions impacted the titular heroine and how this change in status quo challenges her as an actress, “Trish is the most important person to her. And now she has betrayed her in this huge way, and I don’t know what’s gonna happen. I think it’s gonna be an interesting challenge for me, in my performance, to flip it. Ritter revealed. "And really, that’s gonna be a big struggle I think, because it’s the only person she loves and lives for, to now have that taken away from her I think is gonna be really, really challenging and tricky. Yeah, I don’t know.”
Despite her character's on-screen actions, however, Ritter had a lot of praise for her co-star Taylor. “I love when Racheal and I are on the same page, I love when we’re out investigating things together,” Ritter said. “We have so much fun, she’s like my real life best friend and sister, so now the dynamic is gonna be really different.”
