Man, they really struck gold with Xolo and Mary's chemistry. This is likely their very first time meeting, unless they informally met before this chemistry read, yet they capture the chemistry of "Teenage friends with crushes on each other" so perfectly.
Damn Miguel robbing Daniel and breaking Sam's phone is what originally led to their breakup? Interesting.

@@laurab6418 they really did amazing! It is really hard to act off someone how's not acting and it's just reading. You do it when rehearsing and/or memorising lines with a friend or a family member, but doing it for your audition must be really nerve-racking since you have nothing to play off of. You have to emote your part and imagine what the other person would be doing and reacting to that, so you're basically emoting for two. All of this whilst having the performance anxiety of the audition itself.

it's really interesting seeing the original script unfold here, it seems like Miguel was originally meant to have a sort of Robby role potentially with him unlocking what I imagine is the larusso auto group door with the code that Robby gets in season 1 and different interactions between characters. it's so awesome to see these new/old scenes that were originally meant to be in cobra kai

I'm thinking these could be fake scripts or rejected ideas just for the audition. Maybe lines that were good enough for the audition and direct character motivations without giving away the plot or to your point, too early in the writing process that characters were still developing. Some shows like breaking bad changed significantly after casting
The way Jacob changed the personalities is amazing 😮❤🥰
Tanner and Billy gave me chills, they've had chemistry since Day 1. Awesome job by all of them, Gianni is a natural from the start!

It's cool to see what's essentially one of the draft versions of the lines, as well as the actors' audition. Also, Johnny's QUIET in the audition was more intimidating than the QUIET he yelled in the final cut.
