TooFab also spoke with Néstor Carbonell, who plays The Morning Show’s meteorologist, Yanko Flores — who added he’s always curious to see where things shake out when they go back to film.
“Every year is different. There was a blowup at the end of Season 3. I’m always excited to see where the writers take the story. I try and guess and I’m always wrong,” Carbonell said.
“They play with time and where the company is. We’re coming off of a merger … and to see where everybody lands, who’s there, who left, that kind of thing,” he continued. “It was exciting to get the first script and be back at work. As Yanko, to get to play a particularly emotional story this season was a real joy as an actor, for sure.”
With secret romances, affairs and workplace harassment all par for the course behind the scenes of the fictional morning show on the series, Carbonell also revealed how he, more generally, deals with personal conflict on set himself.
“As an actor, you’re a professional. No matter what kind of day you have, no matter what’s going on in your personal life, you show up and you have to honor the work,” he explained. “Sometimes you bring that in, you can use it if it calls for it in your work, but by and large, there’s a lot riding on getting it right and there’s a lot of people depending on you, so you have to set it aside or sublimate, use it in a scene, but always remain professional. Always.”
