Hi Tiera. I’ve been a giant fan of yours. Can you inform me your favourite a part of taking part in Missy McMurray thus far?
I’ve liked taking part in Missy. She’s such a dynamic character with a lot going on. She’s dealing with grief and self-discomfort and determining who she is, what she desires, and her passions. Playing her has simply been a lot enjoyable as a result of there’s a lot to work with.
Missy, Isabel, and Valera are robust girls making an attempt to rebuild their lives. How do you suppose that resonates with audiences?
It resonates with audiences as a result of they’ll see these robust girls combating for his or her land, household, and one another. It’s a ravishing story exhibiting power, perseverance, love, grace, and hope. That’s one thing that we want on the planet proper now.
Do you suppose Missy’s points with her mother have made her nearer to Isabel and the ranch?
I believe so. Missy’s mother by no means accepted part of her that was necessary to her. She at all times felt like she was letting her mother down or not following on the planet that her mother needed her to be part of.
So, when she goes to the ranch and is accepted for who she is and championed for desirous to be a trick rider and be on this world, it bonds her with Isabel as a result of she’s supported for being who she is and loving what she loves.
When do you suppose Missy will cease denying her emotions for Cash?
That’s difficult as a result of Missy and Cash have identified one another their entire lives. They know one another higher than anyone, and sadly, they’re related and have mutual grief over Austin.
He’s at all times there of their shadow, so it is onerous for them to just accept that there may very well be one thing there as a result of there’s a lot guilt looming alongside it.
I completely agree. Although, I really like the chemistry and connection you will have with Beau [Mirchoff, who plays Cash].
Yes, Beau is implausible.

No, there’s numerous drama there as a result of Gus is available in, and it is difficult as a result of it isn’t simply Missy. He additionally desires part of the land, which is a posh dynamic as a result of he is working with Isabel however wants a greater popularity.
It’s difficult as a result of Cash may be very protecting of Missy and desires her to be joyful, however on the identical time, he is clearly harboring emotions. So, it is difficult when another person is available in.
And how has it been working with Tyler [Jacob Moore, who plays Gus]?
Great. Tyler is so candy and so fantastic, and it has been gratifying.
On Ride Season 1 Episode 5, you convey Cash to a Frontier occasion. Does that imply you’ve got smoothed issues over with Frontier, or will Cash be your good luck allure?
Missy’s making an attempt to work the sponsorship, the bull driving, and the teaching from all angles and work it to their benefit.
Have you ridden horses earlier than, or do you get to do some trick driving?
I do not do trick driving as a result of that is extremely onerous. We have some implausible stunt doubles and performers who do bull driving and trick driving or professionals and have been doing it for years.
I had ridden a horse earlier than however not with any approach. So, once I booked this, I went to Calgary two weeks earlier, and they taught me find out how to experience and acquainted me with my horse.
That ended up being my horse for the entire present. I realized correct approach, and it was gratifying.
What can else are you able to tease that Missy must conquer this season?
She has to overcome many dynamics with completely different relationships, friendships, and new folks coming into that entire bull driving world and having to overcome a few of her previous traumas.
Quite a bit is coming down the pipe for Missy.
What will your followers like essentially the most?
They are going to see all of the characters unfold, discovering out extra about their backstory and their historical past, and we’ll see them begin to join issues that pop up that make it actually onerous for them to maneuver ahead.
