Yesterday, we brought you onto the set of ABC Family’s 10 Things I Hate About You, premiering next Tuesday at 8/7c. Tomorrow, highlights from breakfast with Ethan Peck, who plays Patrick.
Today, though, here are the highlights from the interview with writer and executive producer Carter Covington. Carter not only directed the set tour, but also provided some interesting insight toward the show and its direction.
(On what made him want to work on 10 Things)
[W]hat drew me to this project is I kind of felt like both of the sisters in high school – you have one sister who is dying to be popular and one who’s like, “Oh, my God, high school is such a stupid lame rite of passage.” And that’s how I felt about it. On the one hand, I [really wanted to be accepted] and then on the other half I was like, “God, I can’t wait to get in college and get out of here and leave this behind…” I really wanted that feeling in the series just like that you’re at high school, and it can be the best of times and it can feel like the worst place on earth. And that’s kind of what we’re going to play with in the series that it is kind of this place of many feelings.
