>> Welcome back to Good Day Stateline one honored tonight
to check
in with 2 of the stars of FOX is the fantasy island as we get
ready
for a new episode. This Thursday's we're talking with
Roslyn Sanchez and Tra Barnes. Hi, Ladies.
I
I it's so good to talk to you about any yeah. About this cool
show premiered in August. It sort of a re imagining of
the show that
aired in the late 70's and early 80's. Want to know before
we talk
about this week's episode, what Drew you to the show? Let's
start
with Roslyn.
>> Everything you know that the facts that he was a she such a
beloved
property from the 70's. You know, I remember the show
really well,
the fact that it was they were going to do. I really matching
it
with 2 female leads, 2 women of color. That right. There was
super
super interesting to me.
It was shooting in Puerto Rico and one race in Puerto Rico's.
It was
like going back home. Everybody involved. You know, Tim.
So Sony Pictures, FOX, everybody wanted to do
something really special.
So I read the pilot script. Love Ted said, you know,
this is
such a blessing. I meant.
>> On the what about you, Keyara?
Yeah. Honestly, a lot of the same with Ross. I'm saying I
mean,
it's an iconic show. My family was huge. Big fans, my dad,
my mom,
mine like everyone. We're huge fans in the 70's and watching.
And so it was kind of crazy when it came across the table
and like
I was on my dad that the school addition, this island, you're
like, wait, what way? What would you agree? Bit like?
Yeah, you
know what it was like? No, this is like a really big show is
like
part of my child head. And
so it's really fun to be able to read through it and even
talk to
my family a lot more about it. And then I light of the U.S.
Lee Watch some episodes and got to see the magic of it all.
But even getting the script the first time I was looks like the
pilot was so
so good. The writing was just spot on and them
Ruby. I was so enthralled with her. I felt some kind of soul,
deeper connection like I knew her and them. She also kind of
reminds
me a lot of my mind Nana's. Well, so
I just immediately felt like if this is meant to be, I will be
so
happy and and up coming through. And, yeah, it's it's
been such a
whirlwind of excitement and a lot of fun.
>> So for anyone who might be catching up with this re,
imagine
version, Roslyn, tell us a little bit about your character
because
you like you said it's a female lead of a previously male lead.
So what we see that's different with your character.
>> You know, she is we've got about the region or or he is
that great.
They great on coal. Atlanta ruled, right. This is a girl
that she
understands that the incredible legacy that her family
meetings, you know, that she was supposed to take or the to
be the
host before she was just a normal life. She was 31 2
launches
engage. But then when he came back
a second time she couldn't refuse to to take on their
sensibilities
and she goes into the island only that she student something
that is
like changing to people. So that is positive. Something
that is
amazing. But it's a it's a it's a big weight on her shoulders
because we all the teeth out. Just want to be a regular,
really it takes a little bit.
So to really percent that this is something that she has to do
and
it's pato on her lot line basically. So I was very much
interested in the how complicated and they're making
this woman.
You know, she is lovely. She's funny. She's got was that
it was
his mystical as you serious. You know, she's going through a
lot of stops are suddenly. And I know that was fascinating
to me
and you see her joining in the first season. You see a woman
that
you start one way and little by little. She says opening up and
realizing I actually love my job to see that transformation.
And now this incident, we are hoping, you know, that we're
going
to get an opportunity to to know her even more and to
understand
why she's the way she is.
I can't wait to later added to it.
>> All right. Before we go, you have a huge show coming up on
Thursday. Welcome to the Snow Glove Tra. Tell us a little bit
about what we
should expect.
>> Yes, okay. So coming up Thursday, we have our special
Christmas episode. So this going to be full of all your

up
happening is you have to tune in to see that. But yeah,

of
a twist.
