The Bear stars Jeremy Allen White and Abby Elliott explain the flashback between their characters, Carmy and Sugar, in the season 3 premiere.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, White and Elliot explained the heartfelt flashback between Carmy and Sugar in The Bear season 3 premiere:

Elliot: Sugar is so desperate for Carmy to stay and not abandon her. That level of abandonment, which I knew was always there… she missed her brother so much, starting in episode one — but there’s this level of: He’s really leaving me here with these people. She loves Mikey (Jon Bernthal), but she’s seeing his spiral [which leads to his death by suicide]. It’s very apparent she’s just going to call him and call him and he might not pick up — and she knows that, and that’s so scary for her. The fear is a new thing for Natalie.

White: He has a hard time communicating. He has a hard time understanding other people’s experiences. I don’t think at all times, or at any time really, he’s meaning to be hurtful in the way he exists. But I do think in this season, there is this realization, specifically with Sugar and Carm, that they did have this shared experience. They grew up in the same place. Carmy ran, and Sugar stayed. Carmy is starting to make room for others’ experiences and really see and listen to other people for the first time.

More to come…
