Catherine Missal & Costa D'Angelo interview on Tell Me Lies season 3: Trauma, grief & toxic ties

Catherine Missal and Costa D’Angelo discuss returning to Tell Me Lies*for its third series and joining the cast partway through the story. D’Angelo reflects on meeting creator Megan Oppenheimer and explains how her confidence in the show helped him feel supported while tackling dark, vulnerable material. Missal shares her enthusiasm for exploring more of Bree’s backstory and explains why a deeper character history matters to her as an actor. D’Angelo considers Alex’s guarded approach to connection and describes how fear of abandonment shapes his rules for survival. Missal examines how Bree’s friendships function as family and explains how that attachment intensifies the impact of betrayal. She also addresses the series’ handling of grief and reflects on how humour can coexist with loss in a way that feels authentic. D’Angelo speaks about Alex’s evolving dynamic with Lucy and explains why he connects with people who have been hurt. He discusses working with Grace Van Patten and highlights how collaboration and support were vital, particularly during intimate scenes. Missal and D’Angelo reflect on the show’s 2008–09 setting and explain how the era shapes the characters’ limited language around toxicity, mental health and intervention.
