Strolling down the bad experience lane, the persuasion actress said, “That was honestly the worst time of my life."

Explaining her overwhelming response to the opportunity to star in the final episode, Johnson added, “And I was like, ‘Of course,’ thinking that I’d show up for like half a day. And I was there for two weeks, and I’m barely in the fucking show."

Recalling the strange dynamics and shoot experience that didn’t pan out like she planned, the 34-year-old actress said, “There were weird dynamics that had been going on for the last 10 years. Some people didn’t speak to each other.” She further added that the disappointment of not receiving the same enthusiasm and response from the existing castmates was quite awkward, as she felt the background star faxing things.
