Last season, Tiffany made the decision to have an open marriage after learning once and for all again that Emmett was unfaithful. Social media reactions were overwhelming. This season is a continued exploration of the fallout from that. Playing these characters for five seasons now, both Latimore and Hall admit they sometimes don’t know whether Emmett and Tiffany should remain a thing.

“We’re giving Emmett technically what he wanted, but kind of modifying the circumstances to also have Tiffany get something out of it. And it kind of reflects the whole cliche of how men can dish out whatever but can’t take it,” Hall said, admitting she didn’t agree with the couple’s decision on the show.

For Latimore, it was interesting seeing the man have to accept the consequences while still trying to work things out.

“I think it was different for Emmett to react to that situation of being open. I think it helped me as an actor to sort of really tap into something different than I wouldn’t naturally,” he reflected. “Which is like, ‘Baby, I’m sorry’ versus ‘I’m leaving.’ Because that’s the natural, trendy reaction for most men. But it’s like now you see a man that’s really trying to make his relationship work and really trying to fix it. And it could come off of maybe a little cringe to watch.”
