It might have only just started filming, but ’s first day began with left with a bumper of a bruise after she managed to walk into a wall.
For the uninitiated, the long-running series of ‘The Gang’, a group of narcissistic, sociopathic friends who run the Irish dive bar Paddy’s Pub in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but spend most of their free time drinking, scheming, arguing amongst themselves, and plotting elaborate cons.
This week the sixteenth season of the comedy series began filming, aired.
After ending season 15 in Ireland, the gang are going to be back in Paddy’s Pub when we see them next, and while they got up to some adventures during their overseas jaunt, Kaitlin was perhaps a little bit too excited to be back home on set.
Series creator, and her husband, Rob McElhenney, posted a photo on social media on Thursday sharing that filming hadn’t quite started as smoothly as planned.
‘Well it’s the first day of shooting so, of course, the lady of the house ran into a wall,’ he captioned a photo which showed his wife with a monster of a bruise under her left eye.
‘Thank god for @theadorable1 and her makeup team for making it going away…,’ he added.
Jumping in, Kaitlin wrote: ‘Really sorry, boss.’
Playing Deandra ‘Sweet Dee’/Dee Reynolds since the show first started back in 2005, Dee is pub’s main bartender, while Rob plays Ronald ‘Mac’ McDonald, co-owner and self-proclaimed bouncer of the venue.
Last year the cast got together to mark St Patrick’s Day and let fans in on , including that Glenn Howerton had quit the show a few times.
The actor was famously believed to have quit in 2017 after his character left Paddy’s Pub to help raise his secret son, with the actor himself saying it was time for a change.
However he made a surprise return in the first episode of season 13 and has remained as a writer and star since, much to fans’ huge relief.
In the podcast he briefly mentioned he had been hit by burnout, but the cast were so tipsy they forgot to actually explain any more.
