She said it’s a combination of being from Maryland and having parts of a Baltimore accent — which stresses ‘o’s, especially vowels — down.“Then with Philly, you just shove it all to the front of your mouth ... you don’t ever say a consonant.”
Though Walter didn’t have Philadelphia ties before her character’s Abbott debut back in 2021, the city has embraced her character as a favorite along the way.“[When] they’re like Melissa is one of us,” she said, “there’s nothing better to hear.”
