The ‘Pluribus’ cast unpacks Carol and Manousos’ tense meet-up: ‘It says a lot about being human’

The crossover Pluribus viewers have been waiting for finally became a reality in the Season 1 finale, as the world’s number one hive-mind haters, Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn) and Manousos Oviedo (Carlos-Manuel Vesga), meet up for the first time.

However, the pair’s first meeting is less an enthusiastic team-up than it is two of the most stubborn people on Earth duking it out. And Vesga wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I did expect a kind of clash between them, and I was hoping for it, because actually it says a lot about being human,” Vesga told Mashable in a video interview alongside Karolina Wydra, who plays Zosia. “The Joining is a group of people who never argue, who are always agreeing on everything. What makes [Carol and Manousos] real humans is that they actually don’t see things eye to eye. They both agree that this has to be changed, and we need to change it back to what it was, but not necessarily the same way.”
