All Of Our "The Haunting Of Hill House" Questions Answered By Carla Gugino (2024)

Why was Olivia so taken with Poppy? Was it because of the vanity Steve gave Olivia?

BuzzFeed, Netflix

CG: So, for sure, the vanity that might have once been Poppy's is part of it, but I think also, this is a more subjective answer, but since I played Olivia I will answer it, which is that I think Poppy really allowed Olivia in a moment where she's so unsure of what to do and she's getting so confused by the house and by being effected so much by the house and because of her migraines and all these things, she's just much more susceptible than anyone else and she's a mother bear at heart.

Poppy really gives her the assurance of a way in which she can save, especially the twins, from this horrible fate that she has foreseen because she has gone ahead and she has seen that one of them is having problems with mental heath and one of them is an addict. So, she has seen this horrible fate and she really is trying to save them from it.

So, the horror genre is a beautiful kind of way to allow us to talk about a lot of very real things in a heightened way. So in that sense, I think Poppy seems so assured that if she does this thing, the kids will be okay and at that point, she really believes her.
