Wednesday star reveals she 'didn't pull off' Jenna Ortega's role in 'embarrassing' audition
Emma Myers plays Enid Sinclair in Wednesday, the best friend of Jenna Ortega's character The much-anticipated second season of Wednesday is on the horizon, and Emma Myers, who portrays Enid Sinclair, is set to steal the show. The latest teaser for the series, which has just been renewed, suggests a grim fate for Enid after her friend Wednesday (played by Jenna Ortega) experiences a premonition of Enid's demise, sparking a flurry of fan theories about what lies ahead for her character. As Enid steps into the limelight, viewers are eager to delve into the backstory of the actress, who initially tried out for the lead role of Wednesday but quickly realised it wasn't the right fit. On The Squeeze podcast, she shared her experience: "What's funny is I auditioned for Wednesday at first, thought 'This is not going to go well, I can't pull it off'. Didn't pull it off, but they came back and they were like 'Oh, but, you might be good for Enid. Let's give it a shot'."

Emma winced as she recounted how the producers had stumbled upon her initial Wednesday audition tape, pleading with them "no, don't talk about it!" When quizzed if she had ever re-watched her audition, she confessed: "Oh god no, too embarrassed." In a separate conversation with Elite Daily, she revealed that her own personality is quite distinct from Enid's. She explained: "I would consider myself more a Wednesday because I am very introverted and I don't have a lot of energy. "Enid's very, very energetic and loves talking to people, while I, on the other hand, get really nervous." However, she swiftly warmed to Enid and even contributed to the creation of Enid's vibrant style by selecting outfits, picking out nail polish colours, and even choosing Enid's most iconic accessory: her pink snood. The audition process was a lengthy one, with her first audition taking place in February 2021, but it wasn't until four months later that she discovered she had secured the role. Fans are keeping their fingers crossed that Enid will make it through the second season, with a little help from her best mate Wednesday.

Wednesday star Emma Myers' off-screen life from overcoming bullies to being 'introvert'
Netflix star Emma Myers has appeared in a number of shows and films, but she is best known for playing Enid in Wednesday - here's everything you need to know about her The much-anticipated second season of Wednesday is set to hit Netflix on August 6, with the chilling trailer revealing a glimpse into Wednesday Addams' (portrayed by Jenna Ortega) premonition of Enid Sinclair's demise. The gripping trailer has unleashed a flurry of fan theories, placing actress Emma Myers at the epicentre of the unfolding drama. Amongst the speculation is the potential for a dramatic encounter between Wednesday and a former adversary. Emma Myers, the 23 year old American starlet, embarked on her acting journey as a child in 2010 with a guest appearance on The Glades. Hailing from Florida and sandwiched between two sisters, she was home-educated during her formative years, an experience that led her to confess to Teen Vogue that she missed out on conventional school life. Yet, it was during her middle school years that she found solace and self-expression in emo and alternative music, resonating with bands like Twenty One Pilots, Panic at the Disco, and Fall Out Boy. Reflecting on her past, she shared with Teen Vogue how her intense passion for this subculture set her apart from her peers, saying: "I was kind of an outsider because I was into things more than the normal kid would be," and added, "And I got bullied for it." With time, her perspective has matured, and she now offers a more philosophical take on personal happiness: "Some people can't let go of the fact that people enjoy things that make them happy." Her professional acting career took off at 16, leading to roles in productions such as A Taste of Christmas and Girl in the Basement. It was her portrayal of the tardy werewolf Enid in Netflix's Wednesday that catapulted her to fame, although she has also been featured in several other Netflix projects. She featured in the comedy film Family Switch, sharing the screen with Jennifer Garner, Ed Helms, and Brady Noon, and took on the lead role in A Good Girl's Guide to Murder. The latter is currently available on Netflix and has garnered international acclaim. Despite portraying Wednesday's best mate in Netflix's adaptation of the Addams Family, she confessed that she identifies more with Wednesday herself. In a chat with Elite Daily, she revealed: "I would consider myself more a Wednesday because I am very introverted and I don't have a lot of energy. "Enid's very, very energetic and loves talking to people, while I, on the other hand, get really nervous." Wednesday season 2 premieres on Netflix on August 6

The news comes ahead of the second season premiere of the Jenna Ortega-led supernatural comedy, which is the most popular English-language Netflix series of all time. 'Wednesday' stars Ortega as the darkly funny Wednesday Addams, who is expelled from her school after dumping piranhas into the pool, and is transferred to a private academy for outcasts. The series also stars Gwendoline Christie as the shapeshifting principal of Wednesday's new school, Emma Myers as her werewolf roommate Enid, and Riki Lindhome as her school therapist. The cast is rounded out by Jamie McShane, Hunter Doohan, Joy Sunday, Georgie Farmer, Naomi J. Ogawa, Moosa Mostafa, Christina Ricci, Steve Buscemi, Victor Dorobantu, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, Billie Piper, Isaac Ordonez, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, Noah Taylor, Luis Guzmán, and Catherine Zeta-Jones. 'Wednesday' became an awards magnet after its first season exploded on Netflix in 2022, garnering four Emmy awards. 'Wednesday' Season 2 will debut in two parts on August 6 and September 3. In the second season, Wednesday Addams returns to Nevermore and must face off against a new tormentor to prevent Enid's death.

'We're beyond thrilled she'll be returning to stalk the halls of Nevermore in Season 3. This time, she'll unearth more of the school's sinister secrets — and descend even deeper into the Addams family crypt. Or, as Wednesday would say: 'Nothing brings a family together like a good exhumation.'' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

EDITORIAL: ICE needs to actually focus on national security
Editor's note: This editorial originally ran in fellow CNHI paper Enid, Oklahoma, News & Eagle. If the goal for Immigration and Customs Enforcement is to remove the 'worst of the worst' undocumented immigrants, we fail to see how the detainment of Oklahoman Octavio Mota meets that goal. Mota is most certainly an Oklahoman. Having immigrated with his family when he was 2, mostly growing up in Enid before a recent move to Stillwater so his fiancee could study at Oklahoma State University, Mota has been a green card-holding legal permanent resident for much of his life. While ICE used some misdemeanors to make its arrest — the kind of offenses that by all accounts probably could have been expunged by now — Mota is not the 'worst of the worst.' According to reporting from The Frontier, he's someone who works, pays taxes and was raising a family. 'Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace,' President Donald Trump posted to his social media in June. 'In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!' Yes, a lot of American industry leans heavily on immigrant labor and it's little shock that it's often jobs that many natural born Americans seem unwilling to do. Words and deeds, apparently, are very different in these cases because White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has pushed a huge quota onto ICE in an effort to make a campaign promise of 'mass deportations' a reality. The reality is that ICE is now operating like the IRS. There's a reason the IRS is more likely to audit someone making $50,000 a year than millionaire tax cheats — the people making 50K a year don't have lawyers on retainer, they can't drag audits out for years and tie up the system. ICE, in an effort to meet its quota, is going for low-hanging fruit regardless of the human cost because it's easier than infiltrating criminal organizations. Few people would argue that our borders should not be secured or that criminal gang members should not be deported. If your argument is that people should behave themselves once they come to this country, we'd argue it should be pretty easy for anyone to weigh the justice of penalizing a youthful indiscretion like public intoxication against violent crimes or trafficking. How could it not be better for society if a father remained here to raise his child, do work that others won't and contribute to the tax base? If your argument is that people should be allowed to immigrate but must do it 'the right way,' you're ignoring how increasingly and intentionally difficult that has become. When people like Mota are deported or threatened with deportation, it means Miller's agenda isn't so much about national security than it is about an effort to reduce the number of brown people in the country. We don't think that was part of the campaign promise. Solve the daily Crossword

Watch) The first part of Wednesday Season 2 hits Netflix next month.(Netflix) A spinoff series? Even as the details of the team exploring a spinoff are still top secret, the report added that Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria said, 'There's a lot to explore in the Addams Family.' Jenna Ortega on her performance Meanwhile, Jenna Ortega opened up about looking back at her performance in the show and wondering whether she could have interpreted the character any differently. She added, 'I don't think I've ever shot a scene in my life that has not kept me up at night and given me nightmares. I can't watch the stuff that I do because I don't think I would ever show my face again. I was 17 or 18 when we started this, and I was so nervous and so scared. The first two weeks of production were some of the most chaotic, stressful moments in my career. When I see some of the old footage, I can see the confusion or the stress.' Earlier this month, the trailer of the second season was released. It showed the return of Wednesday to Nevermore Academy, to navigate family, friends and old adversaries. It propels her into another year of mystery, mayhem, and monstrous secrets. Wednesday says, 'Secrets are the bedrock of the Addams family.

Part 1 premieres on August 6, with episodes 1 to 4, while the last four episodes come out on September 3, 2025.
