I pitched a storyline, and as far as I know it's been picked up. It's for the third and final episode I'm contracted to do. But I can't give any spoilers.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not first and foremost interested in story and the what-happens, but I'm interested in who's telling it and how they're telling it and the effects of whatever happened on the characters and the people.
Well, I must tell you I write the scripts very close to the bone. So I'm writing episode seven now and couldn't tell you what happens in episode eight.
I'm a huge 'Breaking Bad' fan; I would be really annoyed if anyone told me anything about what was going to happen in the last eight episodes.
First of all, it was in my contract. I knew I would be directing an episode.
I can't say too much about it because I don't know a lot. We're not told what's in store for our characters until we turn up to shoot the episode. But it's fair to say that Betty and her son bring a brand new mystery to the street and they will be around all season.
With 'Nip/Tuck,' I had never even done anything before I got on that show. They created that character for me. I was reading for something else.
In our show, there's usually a comeuppance. Or, if not, it's an anti-ending. And you're supposed to get that.
The whole thing of doing a TV series, I find it very daunting not knowing where the story's going.
I don't mind playing spoiler.
There's this thing in TV that I find hysterical where the writers and creators will ask us if you want to know what happens to your character or if you want to experience it episode by episode. In the theatre, we always know the ending; we always know where the character is going.
