Dear Edward star Connie Britton breaks down show’s complex mother-daughter relationship
The
series is based on Ann Napolitano’s 2020 novel of the same name, following the life of a young boy named Edward Adler as he comes to terms with being the sole survivor from a plane crash.where she explained the tense nature of her characters' relationship with her daughter."My sense of that is, looking at the relationship and the way Dee Dee built her life, her daughter is kind of emblematic of all the parts of Dee Dee that she’s trying to keep undercover," she explained.
"Her daughter is trying so hard to live in her own truth. That is almost compromising to Dee Dee, because Dee Dee is living behind this curtain, you know?" In the show we see Dee Dee, who loses her husband in the plane crash, struggle to connect with her daughter Zoe – something which Britton thinks is partly due to the challenging nature of family relationships."I think it’s because we see each other in our family members so much. But that means we also have to see aspects of ourselves that we don’t want to see."
