HollywoodLife spoke EXCLUSIVELY with Ella about Kat and Emma’s attention-grabbing dynamic.
“Instantly, you've got that battle with Kat coming in and sort of again into Emma’s life,” Ella stated. “I believe Kat is extremely robust, and she or he’s been by means of loads in life. There’s quite a lot of vulnerability to her that I believe she’s not fairly letting on about, and it’s that vulnerability that actually sort of drives her mission in a approach to confront Emma. It’s that battle and that stress that we see all through the movie that actually sort of places Emma in a situation we’ve by no means actually seen her in earlier than.”
Ella burdened that viewers will see Mckenna Grace’s Emma in a “very completely different place than she desires within the first movie. She’s residing along with her aunt. She’s sort of acclimated to what it’s wish to be a teen. She’s part of the dance workforce and navigating life as a highschool scholar.

Nonetheless, Ella provides that Emma is “rather more unpredictable, and she or he’s rather more sly about the way in which that she goes about issues. Once more, there’s simply that disruption that comes with Kat the place we see her in a spot that’s very completely different the place she’s actually met her match. I believe that’s going to play out in a really attention-grabbing approach.”
The younger actress was intrigued essentially the most by Kat’s “vulnerability” in The Dangerous Seed Returns. “It was one of many largest issues I’ve discovered as effectively simply that in each human, in each scenario, the whole lot we ever do, stems from vulnerability of some type,” she continued. “It will depend on the individual and the way that vulnerability is expressed, but it surely’s at all times there. To essentially perceive that and start to discover that inside Kat and the way that’s taking part in out in her life and her circumstance was actually highly effective for me. I believe it actually helped in my understanding of her and my understanding of the story.”
Regardless of Kat and Emma’s adversarial relationship, Ella completely loved working alongside Mckenna. “McKenna’s such a fantastic individual and such a gifted actor and author,” Ella instructed HollywoodLife. “To have the ability to share the display along with her was a lot enjoyable. She inhabits the function of Emma in such a robust approach.” The Dangerous Seed Returns will air on September 5 at 8 p.m. on Lifetime.
