Pell is the only Girls5eva star who doesn't portray the younger version of her character. That's left to Henningsen. "We weren’t having any kind of ongoing tactic with it," says Pell. "But she would observe things that I was doing and I would observe things she was doing when we see scenes from things and we just kind of subtly absorb each other a little bit in terms of how we act. The other thing, in the fiction of this character, Gloria was always hiding, she was behind a character. She was like 'Oh, I’m the perky, sexy pop star,' but that wasn’t her. So it wasn’t in need of like direct mimicry. You just buy the spiritual underpinning there, you go 'OK, I can see that that person ends up being this person.'"
