"It's a lot of fun to do and I love, love, love this cast. "We have a lot of fun at work, I'm not going to lie. My daughter then asked me and I had to come clean."īrandt says her young co-stars are now part of her family. "He just could not take another minute more of the loss and said leprechauns are real. Wait a minute, are you the tooth fairy, and are you the Easter Bunny? What about leprechauns?' And my husband said 'Those are real'. "It happened exactly like it did in the show except in my life, my daughter was like 'So, Santa's not real. "We had just gone through that with our daughter and it was like the whole world came down. "When I read that script, I said to my husband, 'Oh, honey, you have to read this'," Brandt says. The storylines also resonate with her, particularly in the first episode when Heather and Tim's youngest daughter discovers the truth about Santa Claus. Heather has moments like that where she is like 'I can't believe I did that'." "There are times you see someone – my husband calls it my momma bear – but if you see someone treat my child badly, I just want to go after that kid. She's probably more forgiving of herself than I am but I also love that sometimes the love she feels for her kids will cause her to do things that will catch her off-guard. "And also I love that she's a little bit more laidback than I am. "I love that she is a devout mother and I love that she loves her kids and her husband 200 per cent. "I feel like I completely relate to Heather in a lot of ways," Brandt says. Heather is married to Dr Tim Hughes ( Veep's Dan Bakkedahl) and they have three children – Tyler (Niall Cunningham), Samantha (Holly Barrett) and Sophia (Giselle Eisenberg). If you were to ask me honestly 'So after Breaking Bad do you want to do a network sitcom?' my first reaction would probably have been shock and then I would have been like 'Yeah maybe I do, if it's a good one', and I feel like this really is," Brandt says. "It's honest and that's the sort of show I want to watch," says Brandt. Each episode is told as four short stories, one for each branch of the Short family. The series chronicles the lives of three generations of the Short family – parents John and Joan (James Brolin and Diane Wiest), their adult children Heather (Betsy Brandt), Matt (Thomas Sadoski) and Greg (Colin Hanks). I would have done that show for 20 years if I could have but there were days where it was like 'I'm having chest pains' because it was just so heavy and you live it, you live it all day long and then you live it the next day too."
