Although filming for the final season has not yet been completed, Ferguson has an idea of what she would like to take with her when the show ends.
“I would love to get some of Erica’s Barbie dolls or something from her wardrobe – it’s the 1980s. I think some of her pieces are very cute and basic pieces,” she says.
As for what she’d like fans to remember about her character, Ferguson notes, “I really want Erica to be seen as an evolved character.”
She continues, “Erica, in the beginning she was kind of, I guess people labeled her as rude or annoying, but as you watched the show more and got to know Erica, I would definitely say that I want people to walk away knowing that she’s become what they want to see.”
