According to Deadline, Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets) star of Prime Video’s Fallout goes into details about working With “Poop Finger” on the series. Purnell recently shared her annoyances over working with a fake amputated finger and admits that she hopes  to get typecast after her character of Jinx on Netflix’s Arcane also lost a finger.

“That would be one of the worst things to happen to me,” said Purnell at Fan Expo HQ. “Purely because, do you have any idea how annoying it is to have that finger painted on me every single day? This finger is the bane of my life. It is the worst thing.”

Fallout is a series based on a popular video game franchise of the same name. The series has three separate storylines in a post-apocalyptic world where people live in underground bunkers after a nuclear war.

As per Deadline, in the series’ first season, Purnell’s character Lucy loses her finger after her almost near-death encounter with The Ghoul played by Walton Goggin (The Hateful Eight). Eventually, she replaces the missing finger with a prosthetic from the robot Mister Handy.

“They paint it, but this is the finger—I don’t know if you guys know this—that you use the most, for everything all the time,” added Purnell, holding up her right index finger. “Then you have to take it off, put it back on, it’s very annoying. I just have this ‘poop finger’ all the time.

“I go to Whole Foods and I’m picking up the vegetables, and people are looking at me like ‘Stop touching the vegetables with your poop finger.’ It’s just terrible,” she vented.

According to Deadline, The actress credited makeup department head Michael Harvey for naming the prosthetic poop finger,” noting the name “caught like wildfire” on set.

The second season of Fallout recently after a delay due to Los Angeles County wildfires started production and is expected to premiere in early 2026.
