The SUPERSTORE Cast Teases ‘Favoritism’

SUPERSTORE’s Amy (America Ferrera) is on the hunt for a new assistant, and she thinks Mateo (Nico Santos) might be the right person for the job. Unfortunately for the duo, the coveted gig has some competition.

“That was probably one of the most fun episodes to film,” Santos says. “It was a really silly episode. We did a lot of crazy improvs in that episode. We had a lot of fun.”

Having their own power struggle is Dina (Lauren Ash) and Glenn (Mark McKinney), who are now quasi-equals in the store…and fighting over Sandra (Kaliko Kauahi).

“I love that dynamic of those two just trying to one up each other and stay in charge,” Kauahi says. “And Sandra gets caught in the middle. I love it; it’s my favorite thing. Sandra just wants to please everyone and be everyone’s friend. So anybody that’s going to engage with her, she’s game.”

Dina, meanwhile, is pretty enraged by the power struggle. “She doesn’t love it,” Ash says. “She doesn’t care for it. She was so happy when he stepped down. Now, are you kidding me? Being close to the same level as me? I wouldn’t say it’s her greatest nightmare, but it’s up there.”
