She’s a peach! Ginny & Georgia viewers might know everything about Brianne Howey’s fan-favorite character Georgia Miller — but the actress exclusively told Us Weekly 25 things they might not know about her real life.
Howey, 33, has starred on the hit Netflix show since its premiere in February 2021. The comedy-drama chronicles Georgia — a 30-something single mother — and her teenage daughter Ginny’s (Antonia Gentry) journey as they navigate their new world after relocating to a small New England town.
The California native made instant waves with her portrayal of the character, receiving critical acclaim as the southern mom of two — but it took creators Debra J. Fisher and Sarah Lampert a while to find the perfect fit.

There they are.’”
While Howey has nothing but love for her role, playing someone as complex as Georgia does come with its difficulties. “The most challenging thing about playing Georgia Miller is how fast she can turn on a dime,” the Dollface alum told Us. “One second she’s your best friend, and the next, she’s threatening you.”

You can’t silence me.’ For what? Your dumb joke that about trans people? Who gives a s—?”He continued, asking, “I mean, is it that important to you?
