Vida’s third and final season. On the show, she is a strong and guarded bar owner from Boyle Heights.“Emma is holding so much unresolved pain, hurt and abandonment and she’s been holding back a lot of her emotions. Now she is vulnerable and softer and just accepting people for who they are. And it’s not easy, she doesn’t do it well but she tries. For myself as an actor it was so fun to get to play this character differently,” Prada told HFPA journalist Gabriel Lerman.

In the first two seasons, Emma has been fighting with her sister (Melissa Barrera) to get their late mother’s apartment building and the bar to work. Now they are doing better but the big surprise is that they get to know that their dad is alive. “It is a really fun season. There’s a lot more costumes and parties and stuff like that.”

The show that is created by Tanya Saracho won The GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2019. At the same time, the two leading characters are finding their identity and they have a colorful sex life. “I don’t feel weird about nudity as long as I feel comfortable with the project. I remember when it said nudity required I was thinking “let’s see what happens once I read the scripts and meet the people: if it feels right great and if it doesn’t then no”. And the more I got to know about the project the more I wanted to be a part of it especially with the amount of women behind the camera.”

She talked openly about the sex scenes with the writers, and they rewrote some of them. “Even in one of the final edits of one of the episodes I didn’t really feel comfortable with the way that the camera was kind of roaming on my body and I mentioned something and they changed it. So even with the nudity, it doesn’t mean that it’s ok to just be exploited in any way that you want; you still have power because it’s your body. And I think that is important. And I love that the industry is moving towards a place where we feel safer to be able to do that.”
