  • Special shout-outs to the young actors...and Maia Ettinger, who, in their sensitive and nuanced portrayals of Toni's and Bo and Rachel's adolescent children Rhys and Cassidy, show us adults that it is possible to flourish despite a difficult family history...(They show) that one can express intense emotions without shouting.

    Linda Chin

  • "Maia Ettinger, as Cassidy was doe-eyed and darling in her scenes and convincingly looked up to Rhys. She was committed to her role and did good job of portraying her character." (She approached) the show with professionalism and positivity."
