In a recent interview, Jenna revealed she did not seek advice from Christina on how to play the character. <\/p>\n

‘Our show has super powers and outcasts and evil ghost pilgrims,’ Jenna said in an MTV News interview with co-star Emma Myers, who plays her roommate, Enid.<\/p>\n

‘I think when [Christina] was on set, neither one of us said “Wednesday” once to each other,’ Jenna explained.<\/p>\n

‘I don’t think she wanted to get in the way of my performance and feel like she was overbearing,’ adding, ‘They’re two very different people, our Wednesdays.’<\/p>\n

‘I felt like I didn’t want to pull up something that she did 30 years ago.’<\/p>\n

‘For the sake of my own benefit.. I didn’t want to rip her off and I didn’t want to be too much like her.’<\/p>\n
