Speaking on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, Cohn stated that, after Lear approached them in the wake of the “Live” episode (which starred Jennifer Aniston, Gabrielle Union, Ann Dowd, Allison Tolman, and Kathryn Hahn, and was paired up with a live episode of Diff’rent Strokes), “We got into talks and we hired a writer and the four of us got together on Zooms. This was during Covid, and we had meetings with Norman about it.” But then, Cohen says, the ultimate fact of life reared its head: Betrayal “One of the girls … went behind our backs and tried to make a separate deal for a spinoff just for herself and devastated the rest of us.” Cohn, who’s currently serving in a recurring capacity on AppleTV+’s Palm Royale, says that the aftermath has been pretty emotionally rough for all involved. “I’m just saying it was for a 40-year friendship and sisterhood, there was tidal wave of emotion around it… A couple of people can’t move past it, don’t want to move past it. We are not as united. Let me put it that way. We were united for 40 years over not talking about each other, not doing dirty, not, you know, all for one, one for all, and this kind of wrecked that, which is sad. Really sad.”
