00:00 So of course ET has been with you from the very beginning
00:03 We were on set with you right before the Fosters premiered and we spoke to a very young and very
00:11 Excited my goodness. I feel like I'm gonna
00:14 There's definitely gonna be drama once Callie gets into the house. I'll give you that
00:18 Well me being Mariana being the only girl for once for this whole time. All right, she sees her as a threat
00:25 So, I mean, I know Mariana doesn't like her
00:27 I'm actually working on an album right now. I'm past trying to find my sound. I love really soulful music
00:34 I grew up on at a James. So and I also love everything you hear on the radio
00:38 So I'm trying to find like a nice blend of it's such a baby. Jennifer Lopez not a bad person
00:42 Has she heard your music she hasn't no I haven't talked to her about it. Are you gonna play for?
00:48 Go ahead and tell her tell her you're ready
00:52 JLo, I'm ready
00:56 I'll sing for you
00:58 Hilarious, did you ever sing for JLo?
01:01 No, but I do remember the first time that I met her on set and she came to visit
01:07 I think I dropped my sandwich and you so starstruck. I was so starstruck and it wasn't even really because of JLo
01:12 I was like, it's Selena
01:14 Like I grew up watching her as Selena and I just like totally just didn't differentiate and I was just in awe but she's oh my
01:20 Gosh, love her such a role model. Yeah, the opportunity to work with her has been so cool
01:24 I mean when you think about where you are today all these seasons and all these years later and you look back at a very
01:31 Young Sierra who was just about to go on this journey. What comes to mind?
01:35 This is truly like one of the best experiences I've ever had
01:38 I'm gonna get emotional but for real it's like I truly like my fosters and coterie family
01:43 Like I will forever be grateful for our cast our crew
01:46 It was just such an incredible journey and it really like, you know, I was 17 there
01:51 I'm 28 now. I really grew up on this set. So I'm forever grateful for all of the lessons and memories and yeah
01:58 I want my title to be co-ceo
02:00 Who should we report to?
02:03 We couldn't help but notice some tension between you and Evan I
02:08 Need you as long as you have feelings for Evan. I can't do this again after 11 years
02:14 Good trouble is coming to an end. What emotions does this bring up for you? I think I'm still in denial
02:20 No, it's been such an amazing ride. And I think overall I'm just feeling so grateful to have experienced it and wow
02:27 Yeah, 11 years. I can't believe it. It's really flown by I'm really happy and I'm really excited for what's in store for the rest
02:33 of the season
02:35 Remember the trauma you've experienced
02:37 Broken you saw someone that you care about
02:41 Shot
02:45 You could be the one in that bed fighting for your life
02:50 She was me our girl Mariana I gotta like pour some out for her she has been through it and
02:56 Back, where does this journey leader? Are we gonna be happy and satisfied with the end of her journey?
03:03 I think through this season you're seeing a lot of growth within Mariana
03:07 she's been through it all and she just recently had a breakthrough that I feel like was a long time coming and I
03:15 Think that once she kind of starts putting herself first for once some things are really gonna
03:21 Shift in her life in terms of romance. How can you describe where that journey will go? She's been tangled up in a few webs
03:28 Yes, I would say tangled really does she make a choice? She makes a choice. Okay, I'll give you that
03:35 How did you react to that choice when you read it? I think I let out a shriek. Hopefully a good shrink
03:39 We'll see you have 11 years of history with this character
03:44 Can you pinpoint your favorite Mariana moment and your least favorite Mariana moment? My most favorite is
03:52 Probably recently on on this season where she has her breakthrough in therapy. I think it was
03:58 Something that was really needed and necessary
04:00 If it had been an inch closer I
04:07 Would have been shot in the head I
04:11 Would have died
04:15 She's been through a lot and I don't think that she's ever really faced it and I feel like once you know
04:19 She explores this world. I think she'll be so much better for it
04:23 Least favorite Ariana moment sleeping with her sister's boyfriend a low point probably the lowest
04:29 We don't talk about I think she got her back with guy L. Yeah
04:33 So, you know what? They're even sort of even totally
04:36 I love that you bring up your sister because of course we see your girl Maya Mitchell
04:40 She is in the trailer. Will there be any other big announcements? We're anticipating a wedding episode. Yes
04:45 I don't know. It could be on the horizon. I will tell you that miss Mitchell will definitely be back
04:52 She will be stirring up some good trouble. Yeah, you know
04:54 I'm thinking about your very rich deep history with Maya Mitchell how you go all the way back to the beginning of the Fosters and
05:01 I love that Maya's Instagram bio literally it just says one line stage mom to Sierra Ramirez. That's right
05:08 What does that friendship mean to you? Oh my god, it's everything. She's my bestie
05:13 I feel like I'm kind of a stage mom now too for her
05:15 Was it her idea to come back to give this little like cherry on top? Oh, absolutely. It was okay
05:20 Mariana and Callie are like the yin to each other's yangs
05:23 But I feel like Mariana always needs her for certain situations and Callie always knows when to show up
05:28 It's like a sixth sense that they have feel so bad that Evan is spending Thanksgiving alone in the hospital
05:38 You need to stop feeling guilty for everything Evan
05:40 He's alive
05:43 And walking I have to tell you I wasn't ready necessarily for good trouble to end
05:48 How did you react to that decision? I don't think that any of us were really
05:52 Ready you wanted to continue on? No, I've been a part of this journey for so long and I
05:58 Love Mariana. I was like, I'll be grandma Mariana. Really?
06:04 Yeah, I can care about anybody yeah still causing trouble
06:08 We found out about the ending of good trouble
06:10 Midway between this big season 5 that you're currently in the middle of did you guys film a proper series finale?
06:16 We did get the opportunity to go back and wrap up this series with a beautiful little bow and I hope that
06:23 Everyone really loves the way that we ended it. You're an executive producer
06:27 I am how much of your input did you give to this very important series finale? Oh my goodness
06:33 Weeks, did you make you know, actually I was very surprised
06:36 I didn't have any input and I you know full trust in these writers
06:40 They you know are so passionate and love the show so much and I've loved everything that they've thrown my way
06:45 And I honestly kind of wanted it to be a surprise
06:48 Mariana is a character that's so deeply rich and layered. I would love to see what her life looks like well into the future
06:54 Absolutely, would you come back to play and the entire coterie family Adams Foster's? I just love keeping up with all of them
07:01 So, I mean that would be so fun, but maybe not for a little while. Maybe not maybe a little bit
07:06 Congratulations your directorial debut. Was this something you were itching to get off the bucket list? How did this all come about?
07:13 Absolutely growing up on set. I was always
07:16 You know if you were looking for me, I was either in video village or crafty
07:22 But mostly video village snacks or learning. Yes, exactly. So I was always picking people's brains
07:28 asking about lenses and just being so curious and it was a conversation that I had with our showrunners as we
07:34 Moved on to good trouble and I got the chance to
07:37 Shadow some really brilliant directors and learn from them
07:41 It was the best type of school and eventually the opportunity arose for me to direct an episode of my own
07:46 And I was just over the moon. It was the most incredible experience more directing in your future. Absolutely
07:53 I would love another opportunity. I feel like I caught the bug
07:57 I'm like, I want to do it again. Yeah, you do it once you're like I gotta go
08:00 What does Sierra's future look like? Is it more acting? Is it more behind the scenes?
08:06 I know you're a musician or do you want to focus on that? Oh, that's a great question
08:10 I'm just really excited for what the future holds. Whatever that may be. I love to act. I love being behind the camera
08:16 So more of that, please
08:19 Yeah, I am so ready and open is there a character or a role or something that you have in mind for what's next?
08:25 Maybe not a project. But do you want to do something in stark comparison to Mariana?
08:30 Oh, I've always like wanted to do a rom-com. I feel like that could be really fun
08:34 But overall, you know something that I'm taking with me that I loved and like really drew me to
08:40 Both the Foster's and good trouble is being a part of something that is bigger than who I am and helps get conversations started
08:46 so anything that does that and
08:49 Is something that I would really love to be a part of
