How XO, Kitty's Anna Cathcart Felt About That "Special" Coming Out Scene

Warning: This article contains spoilers for XO, Kitty season one.

TBH, Anna Cathcart is glad that viewers are getting a deeper dive into her character's POV.

In XO, Kitty—a Netflix spinoff series to the widely popular To All Boy Boys films—fans follow everyone's favorite matchmaking sister to Korea. Though Kitty initially enrolls in boarding school to finally reconnect with her longtime, long-distance boyfriend Dae (Minyeong Choi), she soon finds herself in a love triangle straight out of a K-drama as she begins to develop feelings for classmate Yuri (Gia Kim), who's been hiding her sexuality from her parents.

In a particularly vulnerable moment, a tearful Kitty calls home and tells her dad (John Corbett) that she may be "bi, or pan, or fluid," only to be met with a warm response from the Covey patriarch.

Reflecting on the emotional scene, Anna exclusively told E! News, "It makes me really happy to be able to portray that type of storyline." 

"It just shows you how much love there is in that family and how amazing that is for Kitty," she explained. "That's not the experience that a lot of people have in real life, and she's very lucky to have had that."

Describing it as a "sweet" conversation, Anna continued, "I loved that whole scene and that dynamic of father-daughter and coming out. It was really special."

And given how Kitty has always been so confident about everything in her life, the 19-year-old said it's been fun to see her character learn that "things are always not so simple" when it comes to love.

"I think she's used to living in this world where she's like, 'I got it. I have everything under control. I have it figured out,'" Anna shared. "I love that, by the end of the season, it's not like it's concluded with the perfect little bow like, 'Oh, she's got it now. Everything's fine.'"

She added of Kitty, "She's still confused and overwhelmed and things are up in the air, but learning that's OK."

As for Kitty's OTP? Anna will ship whatever her character "feels is best."

"I hope she continues to give herself the space and the ability to figure out what that means," the actress said. "I think whoever Kitty wants to be with—and even if it's with no one, which I think it's great if it's nobody—that that's who she's meant to be with."
