Celeste O'Connor Interview: The In Between
In Paramount+'s The In Between, Tessa (Joey King), and Skylar (Kyle Allen) engage in a passionate high-school romance until a car accident kills Skylar and shatters their love story. Ghostbusters: Afterlife star Celeste O'Connor plays Shannon, Tessa's best friend who aids her in her attempt to communicate with Skylar in a phase of the afterlife known as the «in between.» Following The In Between, O'Connor is set to appear in Zach Braff's A Good Person starring Florence Pugh.
Screen Rant interviewed O'Connor about Shannon's role in The In Between, how the actor would deal with a real-life supernatural encounter, and more.

Screen Rant: I love how you went from appearing in Ghostbusters: Afterlife recently to now another film about the afterlife. Would you say that you have a knack for the supernatural by now?
Celeste O'Connor: Yeah, absolutely [laughs].
The In Between centers on this love story and tragedy between Tessa and Skylar. Can you explain your character, Shannon's, role in the plot?
Celeste O'Connor: Yeah, absolutely. I play Shannon and she is the best friend of Tessa. She basically helps Tessa navigate trying to contact Skylar from the afterlife, from the in between.
This film is such an interesting exploration of the afterlife. Has being a part of it changed your view on what happens to people when they die?
Celeste O'Connor: No, not necessarily. But I do think that the film allows us to be open about the different possibilites of what could happen after we die, where we might go, and how we might relate to people who are still here. So, I think that's cool.
Have you ever had any real-life supernatural experiences, yourself?
Celeste
