How Ginny And Georgia Season 2 Overwhelmed Antonia Gentry's Mental Health

During the Nylon interview, Antonia Gentry noted that her “Ginny & Georgia” character is often unhappy in the series. In a January 2023 Narcity interview, alongside Brianne Howey, the Emory University graduate shared she feels protective of Ginny, especially when she is going through difficult times. “When I’m playing Ginny and she has to be, you know, doing — whether it’s when her mental health is struggling in particular, or whatever, those scenes, I kind of think like, ‘oh, I just really want to take care of this girl,'” she admitted.

The actor also shared that the show’s writers have collaborated with the nonprofit Mental Health America and explained that she believes some fans may be inspired to seek assistance from professionals after watching “Ginny & Georgia.” “I think it’s very important for them to be represented on screen in a way that doesn’t glamorize or sensationalize but just truly serves the purpose of just starting conversations,” said Gentry.
