The announcement first got here from Max’s social media accounts, with a Selection story confirming the roles. Danny Ramirez (High Gun: Maverick) will play Abby’s promiscuous roommate and greatest good friend Manny, Tati Gabrielle (You) will star as Washington Liberation Entrance medic Nora, and Ariela Barer and Spencer Lord spherical out the Seattle crew as Mel and Owen, the opposite corners in Abby’s love triangle.
