Despite wrapping in just over two weeks, which is a bit shorter than the time it usually takes to film Hallmark movies, Deborah Ayorinde and Dan Jeannotte’s onscreen chemistry was effortlessly apparent. In an exclusive conversation with The List, Jeannotte said that filming “Sense and Sensibility” felt like falling, but in a good way. The actor shared how Edward’s feelings for Elinor sometimes gave him “a little bit of whiplash,” further proving just how strong the real-life connection between the two actors really was.
“There’s a kind of getting closer and a pushing away, and that was […] definitely an interesting dynamic to play,” Jeannotte added, referencing his character’s engagement, which prevents him from fully pursuing a romantic relationship with Elinor. He also simply enjoyed working with Ayorinde, telling us that she “was such a great, generous, and charismatic scene partner.”
Ayorinde echoed her co-star’s sentiments to Decider, asserting that the filming locations in Bulgaria and Ireland played a big role in bringing the whole cast closer together. The Hallmark star explained how being so far away from home fostered a close bond among the actors, creating a supportive environment where they all leaned on each other.
