scenes that this “Not Dead Yet” star is stealing. Every scene she is in — whether on this ABC sitcom or her last one, NBC’s “Superstore” — she owns. And rightfully so.
Her privileged, pretentious Lexi has some daddy issues to sort out in order to break through that haughty shell of hers.In this week’s “Not Dead Yet,” Ash’s Lexi conducts the employees’ yearly performance review at the SoCal Independent, revealing that she’s not as uncaring as many (aka most) people think she is. And when it comes to the bad personal relationship habits she has learned from her father, well, sometimes they work like magic — when she wants to get back at him.“Lexi’s father continually and consistently lets her down. I think it’s probably the most significant relationship in her life,” Ash told TheWrap.
“it’s definitely the relationship that has molded her into who she is. As we continue to learn more, I think it really humanizes her as a character, as a character that could easily just be, you know, the comedic relief that comes in and says something that’s out of touch with the world and ridiculous and whatever. It shows that there is a lot more layers to the character, which is super exciting and fun as an actor.
One of the big things that drew me to this character that I really love about playing her is that there’s so much going on beneath the surface. She’s not a two-dimensional caricature.”Granted, her putdowns can cut like a knife, but the people that work for Lexi know that’s just the way she is. And Ash believes that in Lexi’s mind, she’s not being malicious or nasty at all.
