Leah Lewis Instagram – @cw_nancydrew, you are one of the biggest blessings I’ve ever been able to experience.
I’ve played George Fan on Nancy Drew for four seasons and this year our show ended and aired its last.
The first photo is our spring chicken season 1 roll out and the beginning of an adventure that will stay in my heart as one of the first bests of many. The last photo is our family of hens and roosters as we huddle in close for our last actual night shooting and call “scene” on the whole show. We say goodbye to the time spent over the last 4 1/2 years filling the shoes of characters that grew, fought hard for their growth, loved each other, and learned to love themselves through each other.
For the people who started their journey with George Fan and were able to gather bits and pieces of her to get through their own realities, thank you for sticking with us this whole show. When I first started this show, I could barely pay my rent just like George 🥹 Just as much as I hold my own growth dear, I hold hers even closer. This role was a solo prickly pear who slowly became a goat cheese feta beet pear salad with all of the flavors to give by the end of this show. Loneliness turned into independence. Defense mechanisms melted into a puddle of accepting love, her unbridled fierceness turned into loyalty to her people and helping others. The struggle of growing up in an alcoholic family with no father while raising a family of two sisters on her own became her pride. Lack of self love and realization slowly turned into self motivation and preservation as she faced challenges one after another. Her sassy comments… stayed sassy. I love you, George doesn’t really say I love you unless sh— hits the Fan, but that’s okay. We all learn to show our love in different ways and for that, George was accepted just the way she is and came to be.
❤️ BTS next and a lovely peek into some of the magic our CREW created. Hundreds of people worked behind the scenes to put every single thing in its place. 8 days an episode, over 200 crew members there day in and day out, and then just us bingbongz out here on screen playing pretend in this gorgeous world they created. #NancyDrewSeason4 | Posted on 02/Dec/2023 00:38:51
