Mary Mouser had a big problem with this scene in Cobra Kai
In her recent interview with Collider, the actress opened up about a scene she had a big problem with. After being asked about her journey from a child actor to growing up while filming a show and sharing her creative input for the show.
Mary Mouser shared a scene from the Season 1 finale. The actress talked about the scene between Samantha and Miguel in the first season finale. She shared what the original scene was supposed to be and how she changed it.
She says the scene in the final episode where Miguel says to Samantha, ‘Just look what I’m doing to Robby?’ was originally a different scene. Mouser said that according to the original scene, Sam just burst into tears and said to Miguel, “I forgive you.”
Mary Mouser said she had a big problem with the idea of forgiveness happening so quickly. Once she shared her concern with the manufacturers, they said, “Yeah, well, come see us with what you think.”
Mouser then discussed the scene with Xolo Maridueña and made changes accordingly. When they showed it to the team, they asked, “Are you satisfied with that?” And they may have had to change the scene to make it more meaningful.
