It’s an interesting dichotomy of them figuring out there’s an envy involved, there’s support, there’s compassion, there’s frustration. One of the places that we’re never going is her going, “Oh, I don’t want to have powers anymore.” That’s Bewitched and I’m never going there. She’s very comfortable with those powers. There’s always this element between them of Trish has everything - beauty, grace, success and she’s educated - she has everything you could possibly want, except powers. And Trish was becoming an equal partner in this relationship. "They started off estranged in season 1, and then came together in the most profound way, where Jessica was willing to sacrifice herself for Trish. Rosenberg says that Jessica Jones season two will explore this dynamic further. However, Trish is easily the more caring and kind hearted of the two, with Jessica being hardened by her tough past. Jessica is the one with the powers - and though neither of them are exactly happy in their lives, Jessica seems to be the most comfortable with being herself, whereas Trish seems to be trying to run from her past and change who she is (by hiding behind the public persona she delivers on her radio show). For a start, their differences seemed to be mostly resolved but though Trish more than played her part in bringing Kilgrave down, the balance of power has ultimately shifted between the two. With the dramatic ending of season one, there are bound to be massive alterations to the relationship between Jessica and Trish in Jessica Jones season two. To me, it’s about their history, and their trust and connection." It’s not what interests me about their relationship. Honestly, I love that people are seeing that. "A lot of people saw that in their relationship. For Rosenberg, however, that's not the case: It seems perhaps a little strange, given that, as Rosenberg mentioned, they're so close they could be sisters - but fandom is a weird and wonderful world, where anything is possible. Rosenberg and her team really delivered on the relationships between various characters in season one, but one area they didn't explore was, perhaps, something that some fans had hoped for, and that is the idea of there being a romantic attraction between Jessica and Trish. I’m interested in relationships, whether they be romantic, or family, or friends, or professional - that’s what’s interesting to me, is Jessica in relationship to people." It is about female friendship, it is about how friends evolve - they’re sisters, really - and it’s about how they evolve and ping off each other. That is the core relationship in the piece. "I’m interested in continuing to explore the relationship between Trish and Jessica. Together, the pair worked to overcome Kilgrave by the end of season one - and with Jessica Jones season two on the horizon, showrunner Melissa Rosenberg told EW that she is looking forward to exploring their relationship in greater depth. However, Trish's mental abuse suffered at the hands of her mother, and the physical and mental abuse Jessica endured at the hands of Kilgrave, left both women nursing deep wounds, and needing each other more than ever. The relationship between Trish and Jessica is a complicated one after Jessica was taken in by Trish's mother, the pair became as close as sisters, but drifted due to Jessica's stubbornness and Trish's determination to become a radio personality (something she has acheived when the show first starts). In other words, Marvel gave us what we've all been waiting for: a really great TV series with a badass female lead.Īs well as Jessica, the show also delivered some well-crafted supporting characters, too, in the form of bartender Luke Cage (Mike Colter), Jessica's sometime love interest, who is going on to a series of his own soon the dark, twisted villain Kilgrave (David Tennant) and Jessica's best friend, Trish Walker (Rachel Taylor). Starring Krysten Ritter as the titular hard drinking, hard fighting detective, Jessica Jones delivered a flawed, relatable superhero who was strong, determined, and independent. Though Netflix is notorious for not releasing viewing figures, it doesn't take a genius to work out that Marvel's Jessica Jones was a big hit.
