Jenna Ortega said that she's fond of her "Wednesday" costar Emma Myers and thinks about her often.

"I don't think I've ever been so protective of somebody," Ortega said on the latest episode of the podcast "Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard," released on Monday. "I think about her all the time. I only ever want to make sure she's OK and good."

"Wednesday," which debuted on Netflix in November, stars Ortega as the titular Addams Family character, Wednesday Addams.

Upon being sent to attend Nevermore Academy, a school for outcasts, Wednesday gets paired to live with Enid Sinclair (Myers), a bubbly werewolf and foil to the main character's dark, dead-pan demeanor.
