Hayden Panettiere’s most notable roles might have been in Heroes, Nashville and the Scream franchise, but her performance in one small Disney movie also had quite the lasting impact on fans.

Following the news of Panettiere’s death at age 36 on Sunday, fans have flooded TikTok to pay tribute to the actress and her many beloved roles throughout her career. But her 2005 Disney movie Ice Princess, which saw her star opposite Michelle Trachtenberg (who died last year at age 39), appears to have struck a specific chord for many.

Video compilations of Trachtenberg and Panettiere’s characters, Casey Carlyle and Gen Harwood, respectively, have been circulating on social media Monday, with many fans acknowledging the film’s comforting nostalgia amid the tragedy.

“Our ice princesses are together again,” one fan wrote, while another person shared, “RIP to our ice princesses. This is the movie that inspired me to start figure skating and will always hold a special place in my heart.” Another fan also wrote in a video, “Now they will skate together on ice for eternity. RIP queens,” while one person added, “Hayden and Michelle 4ever loved and remembered by the girls who grew up watching Ice Princess.”

Ice Princess followed Casey, a brainy high school student, who gives up her path to Harvard to pursue her newfound dream of being a professional figure skater. Panettiere played Casey’s main rival-turned- supportive ally.

While it underperformed at the box office upon its release in 2005, the recent reactions from fans highlight how the film became a childhood touchstone for many older Gen Zers and younger millennials, especially women. The film’s empowering message about self-discovery and combining academics and athleticism also contributed to its impact on young girls at the time.

Both Panettiere’s and Trachtenberg’s unexpected deaths occurring at a young age and within two years of each other have come as a shock to Ice Princess fans, as they continue to remember both women on social media. “Can’t believe both of our ice princesses are gone,” another person wrote on TikTok.

Kim Cattrall, who played Tina Harwood, the pushy figure skating coach and mom in the film, also took a moment to pay tribute to Panettiere on Instagram, writing on Monday, “Rest in peace sweet Hayden. Gone far too soon.”

Of all the feedback she’s received on All Her Fault, there is one comment that sticks with creator and showrunner Megan Gallagher: “Those are two of the worst husbands I’ve ever seen on television, and neither one of them were having an affair.”

It certainly would’ve been easy (and predictable) to fuel audiences’ distaste for the spouses of Marissa Irvine (Sarah Snook) and Jenny Kaminski (Dakota Fanning), the two women at the center of the thriller who are brought together by the disappearance of the former’s son, by adding an extramarital relationship to the mix — particularly for Jenny’s husband, Richie (Thomas Cocquerel), whose sins amount to far less than Peter’s (Jake Lacy).

But, it also would’ve undercut the themes Gallagher wanted to drive home with the limited series, which explores the ways that women and mothers often shoulder the brunt of societal responsibility and therefore get the lion’s share of the blame as well.

“I don’t think that that’s the worst thing that you can do to your spouse, necessarily. I really don’t,” Gallagher said during an All Her Fault x Women in Entertainment FYC screening at The London in West Hollywood on Sunday. “The truth is, if you are Jenny Kaminsky, and you are miserable every day and asking for help every day, and the person who’s supposed to love you and be your life partner is doing everything within their power to keep you miserable, that’s so much worse, I think, than having an affair. Like, I’d rather have you sleep with your secretary than do that. It meant something to be able to get that on the screen, that look at marriage.”

It also gave Gallagher an opportunity to dig into the complexities of a woman like Jenny, someone she says “might seem like [a] pushover” but is far from it.

“She’s a people pleaser by nature. She’s very clearly depicted that way, as somebody whose strength is in being empathic and being intuitive and kind of sensing what other people need,” she explained. “And I feel like I know so many people like that, men and women both, but I think that those people often have a very steely core down there.”

Gallagher describes the scene where Jenny finally puts her foot down with Richie as the character finally “finding that moment of no.”

Jenny’s realization is fueled not only by her husband’s actions throughout the series but also by the revelations about Marissa’s missing son and the part her own husband Peter played in his disappearance. At every turn, Marissa blames herself for Milo’s disappearance, as do others, and Peter lets her bear that undue weight for most of the series without explaining his part in any of it.

Ultimately, Marissa is a devoted mom who had nothing to do with her son’s disappearance and who was fooled by her own husband. Just like with Jenny, Gallagher says she wanted to challenge expectations for the kind of woman Marissa would be.

“I purposefully wrote Marissa as an incredibly accomplished career woman who wasn’t necessarily a lovey-dovey mom,” she said. “She’s got a real edge to her, in a good way, in a way that I find relatable. I’m not a wilting flower. She’s a really strong lady.”

Marissa’s devotion to both her son and her own sense of self was an important component to get on screen, Gallagher said, adding: “It’s one thing when society blames you or the media blames you and all that kind of stuff. It’s another thing when women internalize this guilt and we take it on ourselves. To me, that’s the most heartbreaking part.”

The culture clash will continue in Season 4 of Julian Fellowes’ HBO period drama The Gilded Age, based on the turn-of-the-century time period in America that lasted between 1870 and 1900.

Some familiar faces have been promoted to series regulars since Season 3, and some new faces are joining the cast to play big-name historical characters, among other new roles for the large ensemble.

Who else is coming back to The Gilded Age Season 4?

Jordan Donica, who plays Dr. William Kirkland, and Ashlie Atkinson, who portrays Mamie Fish, have been upped to series regulars for the upcoming fourth season. Kelley Curran, who plays Enid Winterton — formerly known as Turner when she served as Bertha’s (Carrie Coon) maid, has also been promoted to series regular.

Series regulars since Season 1 include Carrie Coon, Morgan Spector, Louisa Jacobson, Denee Benton, Cynthia Nixon, Christine Baranski, Harry Richardson, Blake Ritson, Taissa Farmiga, and Audra McDonald, who are all set to return.

What happened in Season 3 of The Gilded Age?

Donica’s character, Dr. Kirkland, proposed to Peggy Scott (Benton) in a happy, joyful moment at the end of Season 3. In contrast, George (Spector) and Bertha hit some rough waters in their marriage. This was largely due to Bertha’s rolling full steam ahead by forcing their daughter Gladys (Farmiga) into an arranged marriage. George felt he had no control and was angered by Bertha not wanting her daughter to have a shot at a love match.

It’s worth noting that George is upset on Gladys’s behalf; however, she married the Duke of Buckingham and ended up falling in love with him! Bertha’s sister Monica (Merritt Wever) came to town for the wedding, much to the former’s chagrin.

The Russells’ eldest, Larry Russell (Harry Richardson), courted Marian (Louisa Jacobson) all season, only to have what they built fall apart. After Larry and Marian became engaged, the former secretly spent time at a House of Ill Repute, aka a brothel, with Jack Trotter (Ben Ahlers). Instead of telling his beloved the truth about where he was, he lied and almost irrevocably broke their union.

Meanwhile, Larry and Jack sold the clock patent, allowing the latter to move out of the van Rhijn household and buy a nice home of his own with staff. People both upstairs and downstairs were stunned yet happy about his windfall. Thanks to Larry’s testimony, Marian gets a better understanding of his and Larry’s doings on that fateful night. As a result, Marian attempts to mend fences.

After the loss of a true love, Oscar’s being gay is exposed to his family, whether he was ready for them to know or not. Hey, this was the Gilded Age, after all. Neither his mother, Agnes ( Christine Baranksi), nor his aunt Ada (Cynthia Nixon) dared speak the words out loud, but there was an understanding. He did receive full support from his cousin Marian, who was not shaken by the revelation. It is, however, teased by the end of Season 3 that Oscar is seriously considering taking a wife, Turner.

By season’s end, Bertha was confronted with reality: her husband George was toying with the idea of divorce. You see, his life was forever changed after he was shot and nearly died. No one experiences such a tragic event and is the same person afterward. George seems to have become disinterested in playing a role in Bertha’s schemes, especially as they pertain to their children.

However, Bertha is a smart cookie and she has learned so much since Season 1. At the time when Season 3 was set, divorcees were branded social outcasts. So Bertha, while thinking ahead, helped influence a shift in social norms yet again. She persuaded Mrs. Astor (Donna Murphy), whose daughter Charlotte (Hannah Shealy) had recently uncoupled from her husband, to welcome divorced women like Charlotte and Aurora Fayne (Kelli O’Hara) to galas and high society social events.

Oh, and viewers have probably seen the last of Ward McAllister (Nathan Lane).

What is Season 4 of The Gilded Age about?

The official Season 4 logline reads, “Bertha Russell changed Society at a cost. Now, her family must reckon with the consequences as Agnes van Rhijn seizes an opportunity to regain her position. Meanwhile, Marian forges a new path for herself and Peggy works to be accepted by her future in-laws. In this new era, you must be careful what you wish for.”
