So the first season about halfway through he just sort of put us together and then broke us up all within one episode. One of the ideas is to have us do that once a year - to have everything blow up in our faces and not work out.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We have so much left to experience and learn about each other - it's almost like we've been remarried with the show being over. Now it's a whole new life for us.
We worked under a lot of pressure... three days to do an episode, sometimes two in a week, 39 episodes a year.
And the relationships that happen become so intense, deep, involved and complex and really hard to say goodbye to. The hardest part of the show is saying goodbye when it's all done. It really breaks you.
The idea of being on a show where each season stands alone, and you can come back the next year and show an entirely different aspect of your personality or your talent or your anything is an enormous gift that you rarely get in television.
Combine that with the fact that we only had one week to get everything taken care of and to get to know one another, whereas most shows get two weeks. It looked like we would never have a chance.
It's strange to look back over a full season. Our characters have accrued all these memories, but so have we, the actors. And sometimes the character memories and the actor memories bleed into each other.
The greatest preparation for a TV show is to already have one season behind you.
It's always difficult when you're on a show that goes for more than a year or a couple of years.
The first season of a show is kind of like an extended pilot. You're only really on the map if it goes a second season.
It was a fight for a very long time. After the end of the first season, all that was done.
