Hence, revisiting the characters at a later age might not be interesting anymore. “We’ve definitely talked about it over the years, but I feel like that show captured that time period and that time in all of our lives,” she continued. “So I think it’s great that you are nostalgic for it. So am I. But it’s like, do we want to see them not at that age? I don’t know. I don’t think [so]. We all decided we don’t actually.”
