Whether you like it or not, Leighton Murray isn’t always gonna be around at Essex. Sex Lives of College Girls co-creator Justin Noble addressed the writers’ approach to adding new cast members following Reneé Rapp’s departure from the show:
“Each show is kind of like a soup with different ingredients in it, and that’s especially true of our show, because I feel like the favorite scenes of the show are where everyone’s sitting around in the common room together, and they’re all talking about some issue and everyone has a unique perspective on it, and their lines couldn’t be delivered by any other character in the scene,” Noble said. “So as you shift things up, that is a task to figure it out.”
