We were hoping to see a story about a girl who isn't conventionally attractive actually ending up with the Peter Kavinksy-type she wanted to be with, instead of being the thin heroine's funny sidekick (like Purser was as Barb in Stranger Things).
|
|
"Ethel has been dealt a lot of injustice in her life," Purser admitted to Refinery29 in between filming, pointing out crises like the time Chuck Clayton (Jordan Calloway) slut-shamed her or the Lodge family's shady business dealings pushed her father toward suicide.
|
|
Although Purser is a long way away from saying her character is going to go full murderous telekinetic meltdown on a school dance, or musical extravaganza for that matter, she does promise we're now in the new era of "feisty and independent" Ethel.

"You have to be patient," Craig Purser, the chief executive of the National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA) says, admiring the thick layer of foam on top of the beer in his glass and noting the sensory benefits that come along with it.
|
|
The plot of Sierra Burgess Is a Loser, for example, hinges on the problematic premise that a popular, chiseled young man, played by Noah Cenineo, would never date plus-size Sierra Burgess, played by Shannon Purser, unless he was tricked into it.
|
|
"The companies that are inventing these technologies are playing their cards very close to their chest," Purser lamented, so the International Seabed Authority of the United Nations will have to be proactive in putting forth the protection required when the time comes.
|
|
Purser, who has spoken out about being body-shamed before, plays a high-school girl struggling with her body image while accidentally-on-purpose catfishing a boy who she thinks won't like her if he finds out she's not thin and conventionally attractive.

|
|
Still, there's something highly durable about the insecurity that drove Cyrano, and now Sierra, to hide behind another person's more conventionally pleasing visage, and Purser brings both innate likability and real vulnerability to a role that captures the sensitivity associated with those confusing teen years.
|
|
Much in the same way, this one goes for a social pariah in Sierra (Shannon Purser) falling for the dreamboat next door angle (Noah Centineo), only our current dreamboat mistakes Sierra for a more popular girl (Kristine Froseth) through a modern day game of catfishing.
|
|
Nancy is starting to feel overwhelmingly guilty over the season 1 death of BFF Barb Holland (Shannon Purser), but Steve wants the couple to forget about the travesty and act like "stupid teens," if only to avoid the wrath of the government agency covering up her death.
|
|

Stranger Things actress Shannon Purser (who played Season 1's Barb, the breakout character with a cult-like following) came to the defense of co-star Finn Wolfhard on Saturday afternoon after fans of Wolfhard circulated a video of themselves waiting outside the 14-year-old's hotel.
|
|
In some moments, through lighting or music, the film hints at a deeper darkness (not least because we last saw Purser with a slug crawling out of her mouth and Froseth looks like she definitely auditioned for Amma in Sharp Objects), but those minor tone shifts never pay off.
|
|
" FROM PEN: This Is Us' Chrissy Metz on Finding Happiness After Years of Dieting and Depression Purser says it's important to reaffirm yourself and work toward becoming "comfortable in your skin, and not feeling the pressure to conform to what other people say is the ideal body image.

|
|
Sierra Burgess Is a Loser, starring Shannon Purser as Sierra (who absolutely deserves better than this and maybe-dead cult member Ethel on Riverdale), revolves around a fat high school girl catfishing Jamey (Noah Centineo) and technically sexually assaulting him by kissing him when he believes he's kissing someone else.
|
|
The film is a teen twist on Cyrano de Bergerac, in which the plus-size protagonist, Sierra Burgess (played by Emmy-nominated Stranger Things actor Shannon Purser in her first leading movie role) ends up in a catfishing phone relationship with a hot jock (Centineo), who thinks he's actually texting a popular cheerleader.

"To me, it is a demonstration of exactly what we need more of … which is more civility, more conversation, more opportunity of people together — maybe they wear a blue shirt or a red shirt — but for that hour, sit down, have a beer, there is conversations about a wide variety of political issues," Purser says.
|
|
Purser is slated to play Ethel Muggs, a character who famously has a crush on the gluttonous Jughead (Cole Sprouse), according to EW.

Purser, who made her TV debut with Stranger Things, joins the likes of The Americans' Alison Wright (getting her first nomination for this crucial role), the titanic Cecily Tyson (nominated for playing Viola Davis's mother on How to Get Away With Murder), and The Leftovers' Ann Dowd (landing the show its first and only Emmy nomination ever).

In a discussion about his part-time pie-making skills — he says his apple pie "can hang" with the best of them — and the talent he would most like to have (he wants to be musically talented like his wife and kids), perhaps the most revealing confession from Purser is his most-desired superpower: invisibility, he offered quickly.

He has a lady in his life at the moment (fans may be disappointed to hear that it is not his To All the Boys costar Lana Condor, nor is it his Sierra Burgess is a Loser costar Shannon Purser) and he makes sure to tell this girl constantly, he says, how huge a crush he has on her.

The Hawkins police chief, Jim Hopper (David Harbour), had been leaving a stash of her beloved Eggo waffles in the woods, suggesting that she hadn't gone the way of the almost-certainly dead Barb (Shannon Purser) or the absent Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine), the scientist who had acted as her malevolent father figure in the lab.

|
For instance, Netflix revealed last month that it was his idea to save the popcorn during his pillow fight with Kitty (Anna Cathcart) in To All The Boys I've Loved Before, and now Shannon Purser just confirmed to us that he was also the brains behind the shoulder-counting move in the movie theater in Netflix's newest release, Sierra Burgess Is A Loser.

I'm a fan of the maritime world and of its charming echoes in the aeronautical realm (think of terms like deck, air-liner, purser, port and starboard…) And so I find it endlessly pleasing that as the winds and currents shaped the journeys of ships in the old days, similarly today, over the Atlantic, pilots routinely sail hundreds of miles out of their way to avoid a headwind, or to catch a tailwind that will speed us across the sea.

To the extent that it works, it works because the actors are committed to the detail work: When Jamey psychs himself up to take a shirtless selfie and then immediately covers his face in his hands as he decides that it's a terrible idea, or when Sierra curls in on herself and hides under her blankets the first time she talks to Jamey on the phone, Centineo and Purser are so specific in their profound embarrassment that you can feel the full cringe-inducing weight of awkward adolescent infatuation.
