“Candy’s a super young mom, she’s almost a child in her own right when she becomes pregnant at age 16. You watch as I age from 25 to 35, which is actually younger than I am now,” she explained.
“I was so taken with the series and really just loved all my scenes, especially with young Danny,” Rossum added of actor Zachary Golinger, who plays a younger version of Holland’s character. “Our relationship was so beautiful and so I knew everything that we had that I had lost in the scenes with Tom. [It] was really fun.”
