Judy Greer Can't Get Enough Of Fighting With Jennifer Garner On Screen: 'I Love A Challenge'

In The Last Thing He Told Me season 2, Judy Greer and Jennifer Garner are reunited in the roles we know them best for: enemies.

The 13 Going On 30 co-stars, who played beloved frenemies Jenna and Lucy in the 2004 comedy, star opposite one another in the second season of the Garner-led Apple TV show. In season two, Greer joins the cast as Quinn, whose contentious relationship with Garner’s Hannah is evident from the start.

“I think that you have to have a lot of chemistry with someone, no matter what the scene is,” Greer told SheKnows ahead of the season two premiere. “People confuse chemistry with love scenes and romantic relationships, but to have really good hate, argument, fight, challenging scenes, that takes a lot of chemistry too.”

Season two of the show picks up when Hannah’s husband, Owen (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), shows up after five years on the run. Hannah and his daughter Bailey (Angourie Rice) find themselves in a race to figure out how to reunite their family before the past catches up to them. Quinn is the eldest daughter of the Campano crime family, from whom Owen is running.

Greer says she became a huge fan of Laura Dave’s original book after learning about it through Garner, and was delighted to join the cast for season two. “When Jen said she was doing it, I immediately bought the book and read it,” she said. “It’s a really different character for me to play, so I was excited about that. I love a challenge. She’s very layered.”

We’re introduced to Greer’s character through Bailey, whose life is upended once again by her father’s return. “I think at the start of season two, Bailey has accepted that this is her life now,” Rice tells us. “With Hannah threatened, and also the possibility of Owen coming back, that’s really scary too. What does she do with all of that love that she has for him, especially when he’s been gone for those pivotal years?”

Still going strong, though, is Bailey and Hannah’s bond, and that of Garner and Rice. The actress told SheKnows in May 2025 that Garner is one of her favorite TV moms, and that still stands. “[Hannah and Bailey] have really worked so hard to build a life together, and they are a strong family unit without Owen, and that’s been really hard for them, but they have really found stability and trust in each other, and it’s so nice to play a really good, healthy mother-daughter relationship,” she says. “Because I feel like I’ve also played a lot of difficult ones.”
