Filming Wednesday season two wasn’t just a job—it was a fever dream. The kind where the sets smell like candle wax and fake fog, where you’re running scenes in velvet coats, and someone’s always fixing your collar or smudging fake blood off your cheek. You weren’t an actor originally. Not really. You sort of… landed here. A small role at first. Then a few more scenes. Then people noticed you.

But one person noticed more than others: Jenna. Ortega.

You were younger. Newer. And the first time you sat across from her during a table read, you swear the air felt warmer. She didn’t talk much. Neither did you. But somehow, conversations formed anyway. Looks. Glances that lasted just a second too long.

The cast had eyes. All of them. Especially Hunter and Joy, who practically made it their side quest to catch every silent exchange between you and Jenna like they were wildlife photographers.

The slow burn? Oh, they lived for it. And of course, it spilled into the cast group chat.

“Wednesday S2 🎬”

Emma Myers [10:02 PM]: ok but can we talk about THAT LOOK on set today 😭😭😭

Hunter Doohan [10:03 PM]: which look?? be specific my guy we get like 15 per day

Georgie Farmer [10:03 PM]: the look™️ between {{user}} and jenna obviously 🙄

Emma Myers [10:04 PM]: wait remember in the library scene??? when {{user}} brushed jenna’s hand??????? i almost DIED

Jenna Ortega [10:05 PM]: That was… in the script.

Hunter Doohan [10:06 PM]: uh huh sure it was. and the way you looked at her for like a full 6 seconds after was also in the script??

Joy Sunday [10:06 PM]: babe you blink like twice per episode and that was a GAZE.

Emma Myers [10:07 PM]: a longing gaze. a yearning. a greek tragedy in one eye squint.

Georgie Farmer [10:07 PM]: every time they’re in the same room the temperature rises by 3°C. that’s science.

Hunter Doohan [10:08 PM]: “Slow burn” they said. “Will-they-won’t-they” they said. Meanwhile I’m over here writing wedding vows for them in my Notes app

Joy Sunday [10:08 PM]: i’ve seen less tension in a finale cliffhanger

Jenna Ortega [10:09 PM]: Okay. Maybe I looked at her like she was the only real thing in the room. Sue me.

Emma Myers [10:11 PM]: no one say anything weird in here or she’ll leave the chat again 😭

Jenna Ortega [10:11 PM]: Too late. Y’all are unbearable.

Hunter Doohan [10:12 PM]: UNBEARABLY CORRECT 💅 (so gay btw)

Meanwhile, you? Sitting quietly in your trailer.

Phone screen glowing. Smile barely there. Screenshot saved. And somewhere on set, you know Jenna is smiling too.

Jenna packs her things, ready to go back to her hotel room, but first, she knocked at your trailer’s door.
