Speaking exclusively to TechRadar, O'Flynn, who plays fan-favorite character Patricia, revealed that she lost her voice while shooting the Apple TV Original's eighth chapter. The reason? All of the screaming she did as part
of the series' latest entry.

Or so they think, because 'Your Baggage' reveals that Richard Warren's death hasn't brought an end to the malediction that plagues the titular town. Indeed, that's made clear via its Patricia-centric storyline, which sees O'Flynn's eccentric individual pursued by The Boogeyman. That's the serial killer who murdered numerous girls on the island years earlier, and who Patricia claims to have somehow survived her own terrifying ordeal with.

Centered around a classic horror story chase set-piece, 'Your Baggage' sees The Boogeyman relentlessly follow Patricia at night, no less across the eponymous settlement. And, while the entire sequence didn't take that long to shoot, it was nevertheless a physically draining experience that temporarily left its mark on O'Flynn. The Boogeyman is clearly inspired by slasher movie icons like Michael Myers and Ghostface (Image credit: Apple TV) "It was physically exhausting," O'Flynn said of shooting the Apple TV show's eighth episode. "I mean, it's just me running and screaming for what feels like an eternity! It actually only took two nights [to film], but I ended up losing
my voice on the first night because I wasn't used to screaming so much and that's not ideal when you've got a whole other night of screaming and talking to come."

Despite the physical exertion that this week's episode placed on O'Flynn, though, it's clear from my chat with Widow's Bay 's breakout star that she clearly enjoyed the whole experience. Indeed, from acting out her own Scream -style chase scene to Patricia's 'final girl' showdown with The Boogeyman, O'Flynn had a blast shooting the buzzworthy series' latest chapter. "I don't think I ever thought that I'd be doing my own version of a Scream chase sequence," O'Flynn told me. "It was surreal and amazing, and almost an out of body experience because I grew up watching those films and other iconic
horror movies.

"And then to get a 'final girl' moment I hadn't heard of that until I
started doing press for this show with Patricia wielding a shotgun of all things, it just felt really satisfying for Patricia specifically. She's the one who finally found her own power and becomes this badass by the end, which was very satisfying to me." What to read next How to watch Widow's Bay online

Considering O'Flynn is a key cast member, though, surely showrunner Katie Dippold had privately told her that Apple had greenlit another 10-part installment?

"My lips are sealed," O'Flynn responded when I pressed her on the topic.
"What I will say is, as Patricia, I would happily continue to live and play
in this weird and wonderful world because I love working with everyone on the show."
