Jordan Fisher, Talia Ryder Reflected on Past Relationships for Netflix Rom-Com ‘Hello, Goodbye and Everything in Between’

variety.com:

Ellise Shafer Netflix’s newest YA rom-com, “Hello, Goodbye and Everything in Between,” required stars Jordan Fisher (“To All the Boys 2,” “Work It”) and Talia Ryder (“Never Rarely Sometimes Always”) to dig deep within themselves — and their past relationships — for the film.Based on Jennifer E.

Smith’s 2015 novel of the same name, the film follows high school seniors Aidan (Fisher) and Clare (Ryder), who share a whirlwind romance but vow to break up before they go to college.

However, things get complicated as they each grapple with their true feelings while reliving their relationship during one last date.With several intense scenes during which Aidan and Clare just can’t seem to get on the same page, Fisher and Ryder knew they would need to truly get to know each other to be able to inhabit their characters.

Though both at different stages in life — 28-year-old Fisher just became a father, while Ryder is 19 — being vulnerable with each other off-screen about life and love proved to be their secret to success. “When we started to work on the script, we really kinda dove into our past relationships with each other and asked each other a lot of questions,” Ryder tells Variety. “[We] were both mutually really curious to figure out our own love languages and how that translated into our roles.”Below, Fisher and Ryder discuss all things “Hello, Goodbye” with Variety — from Fisher’s debut as an executive producer to Ryder’s connection with Clare — and even profess their platonic love for each other.How did you first get involved in the project?
