Martha, who is known for her comedy work, admits that she was initially apprehensive to take on the role of such a genuinely evil character.

"When I read the script, initially, I was very like, ‘I can't do this. This is a monster who hurts kids. I don't want to play that kind of person,’" she tells us. "But then I met with [creator] Sam [Levinson], and he was so great and lovely. So, it was all OK. I'm not like, as you've seen so far, at least not the one pushing kids in the walls and punching them."

She then consulted some close confidantes about the role, who assured her that "even the hardcore Euphoria fans, they know this is a show, they're not gonna think that you're actually a sociopath in real life. They know it's acting."

Overall, Martha is glad that the public's general reaction to the character is one of appall, because she too thinks that Laurie is the definition of a monster.

"I think it's good that someone who exploits kids is portrayed as a monster and not in a way that makes it seem like, ‘Hey, she's likable because she's a monster.’"

"It is kind of a relief that the overwhelming reaction of the fans that I've heard is like, ‘That's a scary person,’" Martha concludes. "I think that's the healthy response."
