Speaking to People, Tatyana recalled that Will had his dressing room expanded for the final season.
“We all saw it when we came in early that year. We thought it was so beautiful. He looks at all of this. As a gift to everybody in our final season, he introduced us to his designer and said, ‘He designed this room. Work with him and design your own dressing room,’” she recalled.
Tatyana continued, adding, “It included furniture and everything and I have to tell you, I’m sitting in my living room and I’m sitting on that couch. And I’m looking at two chairs from that dressing room!”
“I’ve since reupholstered that couch, but it’s still my furniture today,” she said, adding that the group “had so much fun” and that they were a family.
If you missed it, a few years ago Will ended a feud with one of his former costars from the show.
