Meghann Fahy's Favorite 'Sirens' Scene Was an 8-Page Fight with Milly Alcock That Felt Like a Rollercoaster
"But you'd think someone would have sent two-time Emmy nominee Meghann Fahy - the magnetic star of Netflix's delicious "Sirens," from showrunner and playwright Molly Smith Metzler - an Edible Arrangement by now. "I actually haven't gotten one of those yet, which is fine by me, because, girl, I dragged that thing around for what felt like weeks," the actress recently told IndieWire."
"Fahy spends a big chunk of the first " Sirens " episode figuratively shackled to a bouquet of fruit. Skewered melon balls become an inciting incident for the seriocomic miniseries, when Devon's estranged younger sister, Simone ( Milly Alcock), mails one of these citric free-weights back to home in to Buffalo - instead of visiting the girls' ailing dad (Bill Camp) while he's worsening from dementia."
Meghann Fahy earned an Emmy nomination for her lead role in Netflix's Sirens. Her character, Devon DeWitt, spends a significant portion of the first episode physically burdened by a large bouquet of fruit that becomes a narrative catalyst. The prop arrives when Devon's estranged younger sister Simone mails skewered melon balls home instead of visiting their deteriorating father with dementia. Devon's sense of self developed from being a childhood caregiver to her sister, shaping her usefulness-based identity. Fahy noted she carried the heavy prop for weeks and estimated it weighed roughly 33 pounds.
