She replied: "Oh, all the time. I'm like, 'You guys, eventually, you're gonna have to do a time jump because we're just ageing way too fast for a five-month span.'"
Referencing Charmaine's pregnancy, which was first revealed in season one, she added: "But yeah, I think that the pregnancy thing was one of the first sort of tells because even I, when I was watching the show before I was on, was like, 'Oh, this covers way more time in the story.'
