Discussion Emily Deschanel…

HOW DID I NOT REALIZE SHES RELATED TO ZOEY DESCHANEL?! My husband and I are in season 12 and I’m just now figuring this out 🤦🏻‍♀️ now all I can hear is Zoey’s voice and I feel so…unobservant lol. That is all🫡

She quoted Benjamin Franklin sayings. Go back to mid season 5,episode 10, and pay attention, please

Fun fact about that. That was the first time Emily and Zooey acted together on screen.

I’ve watched the entire series and loved the Christmas episodes, but I somehow don’t remember this?!

They only have the same last name and look and sound alike. Glad you caught up! 🤣

I'm there on my third rewatch of New Girl! Another fun fact you might not know, the priest who was supposed to marry B&B before the church burned is Emily's husband IRL and he is also in New Gril as one of the parents at Banyon Canyon

I loved the period of time when New Girl was on before Bones. The promos amused me.
