With Love Star Emeraude Toubia Details Working With Show's 'Dream Team'

Do you see yourself producing more in the future, being behind the scenes more?

Yeah. I opened my production company, and I want to continue to create open doors for people, just [as] Gloria has opened doors for me, and take people under my wing as well and create content that I don't see out there. There's so [many] stories that I want to tell that are very female-driven. I have a couple ideas that I'm ... Right now, we're on pause because of the writers strike, but [I have] a couple ideas that we're taking out and pitching — really fun, great stuff.

This show and the cast do incredible things and have been all over the screen for years. The actor who plays Jorge — I've seen him in "Ugly Betty." I've seen him pretty much everywhere. How did you guys work on your chemistry as siblings?

The casting knew when they saw us [that] it worked. We're also professional. I guess sometimes you can't force chemistry, but we're professional, and some days we're getting along; some days we're not. It's like a siblings thing. We love each other. We get along great. We work long hours. There's days that we keep to ourselves. There's days that we party, we can't go on, we can't stop holding each other. It's like any other relationship. Overall, the energy that you see on screen is an energy that bleeds into behind the scenes. We have a great captain, which is our showrunner, Gloria, and she holds our hand. She's the first one in, last one out, and it's great to be around her.

She was also the showrunner for "One Day at a Time," right?

Yeah, but she was paired with someone else. They were both showrunning. This is her big solo baby.

Her work seems to do a lot in terms of representation across the board, and I love how the characters represent a lot of different communities — queer and trans communities, especially.

Yeah. This show has Isis King playing a transgender character and being transgender. It's [one of the first times] we ever see a transgender character in a rom-com trying to find love. That story hasn't been told before, so we're breaking barriers.

Season 2 of "With Love" debuts on Amazon Prime today, June 2.
