The Girl Who Danced Before She Walked | "Our Little Island Girl" (313) with special guest Susan Kelechi Watson

This week on the podcast, Mandy, Sterling, and Chris welcome back a very exciting guest host…Susan Kelechi Watson, AKA Beth! Susan joins the hosts for a rewatch discussion about Season 3, Episode 13: Our Little Island Girl. Susan talks about what it was like working with Phylicia Rashad (Beth’s Mom) and Carl Lumbly (Beth’s Dad), and her memories on set filming this episode! The group discusses the striking resemblance between Susan and Rachel Hilson (teen Beth), noting how they both beautifully portrayed Beth’s character. They also get into Beth’s storyline on the show, and where her path is about to take her as she embarks on the journey of teaching dance. That Was Us is produced by Rabbit Grin Productions.
