Mónica Marie Zorrilla SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you have not watched Season 2 of “Euphoria” on HBO. Lyla Garrity, the bubbly, spoiled country princess of “Friday Night Lights” iconically portrayed by Minka Kelly, had a thing for football jocks and hyping them up on the field, but that’s just about where the superficial similarities between Lyla and “Euphoria’s” Maddy Perez (Alexa Demie) — TV’s latest teen queen bee — end.
Garrity was a cotton-candy angel compared to Perez’s sour and smart-mouthed demeanor. Beneath the looks and the cheer routines, however, are two young women who spend a lot of time preoccupied with figuring out themselves.Kelly, who plays Maddy’s confidante and boss in a guest role on “Euphoria,” is happy to ditch the high-ponytails and play the older and wiser one now. “I like being a bit more grounded into the character that I’m playing — I’m not having a nervous breakdown every episode, ha, so that’s a nice change of pace!” Kelly, a self-professed fan of “Euphoria” even before getting personally invited by showrunner Sam Levinson to join the cast for Season 2, was stunned when he told her that he had written a character — Samantha — with her in mind.“It was a big leap of faith because I didn’t speak to him until our first day on set.
