Ted Lasso’s Hannah Waddingham Didn’t Want Rebecca To Get Her Act Totally Together In S3 – Looper

During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Hannah Waddingham expressed her desire to keep Rebecca Welton’s life a bit messy in Season 3, saying that the character isn’t ready to get her act together just yet and still has much to learn.

“But the biggest thing for me was, I was like, ‘Can she not be completely all together?'” Waddingham explained. “I don’t feel like we’ve traveled with Rebecca all the way through this of her not knowing how to function to suddenly have her all collected. So I was like, ‘If she takes a couple of steps forward, can she please take maybe three or four back instead of one?'” Waddingham went on to assure fans that her wish came true and that Rebecca will continue to be “utterly clueless in her own life” in the highly anticipated final season of “Ted Lasso.”

Though these comments may come as a shock to some fans of “Ted Lasso,” since much of the past two seasons have focused on Rebecca’s continual efforts to get her life back in order, it’s safe to say that the series’ mixture of comedy and drama make it certain that Rebecca’s life won’t ever be perfect. The fact that Waddingham herself fought for the character to take a step back implies that Rebecca still has much more to learn and that her journey of growth is not yet complete. Although it will certainly be intriguing to see where Rebecca’s story goes in this upcoming season, it’s clear that her life will still be just as hectic and dramatic as the previous seasons — which one has to hope will make for some good television.
