And yes, two graves were filledbut not in the way viewers expected.
But was this ending always the plan for Amanda Clarke?
And what did that reveal about the identity of Victoria’s real father actually mean?
SUNIL NAYAR:No, certainly not.
The plan was to discuss every kind of ending possible as we got to the end of this journey.
She deserves to sail off into the sunset, though not without experiencing great loss and great tragedy.
But it felt that she deserved it.
I think and I hope that when the audience and you guys saw it, you agreed.
But I think it felt really right.
What were some of the alternate endings you considered?
We explored anything you could think of.
We explored both women actually being dead, we explored only Emily dying and Victoria living.
The dream Emily was having about Charlotte giving her Victoria’s heart was just a dream, right?
Is that just your way of saying Emily can never really let her go?
That’s a question that we’ll never know the actual answer to.
So, for me, there is no answer to that question.
I didn’t quite understand the reveal about who Victoria’s father really is.
Were you trying to say it’s Conrad?
It went much farther back.
Can you talk about Victoria’s decision to shoot Emily?
Was that just a last-ditch effort to take her down and ensure she didn’t get a happy ending?
I think to some extent, yes.
Are we to infer that Emily reconciled with Charlotte (Christa B. Allen)?
Yes, which is why you knew exactly what happened with Charlotte.
They absolutely finally have the chance to be the sisters they never were.
So was Nolan’s happy ending just to be able to help other people who need revenge?
Yes, but also that he’s absolutely able to stand on his own.
And he learns, “Oh, I can do this.
I’ve become my own person in the nature of this show.”
Was the plan for him to be in ABC’sKingmakers, which failed to get a series order at ABC?
There definitely would’ve been an intention to have a character show up onKingmakers.
You said there was going to be a small cliffhanger in the series finale.
To which were you referring: the heart or Nolan?
It was the Nolan thing, mostly.
But the Nolan thing was mostly the cliffhanger there.
Is Margaux behind bars?
And Louise part of the inner circle?
Ultimately, did Emily need to leave the Hamptons to get her happy ending?
And was Jack always the endgame?
I mean, he was always one of the major options that we discussed.
It did feel right.
They will be happy, but this world of the Hamptons doesn’t carry happy memories for them anymore.
So this departure together for them felt earned and right.
Are there stories you wish you got to tell with theseRevengecharacters?
I still feel, just because of time, Mason didn’t get a proper send-off.
There are just characters we wish we could’ve spent more time with in the finale.
We had to cut the episode because so much great emotion came in.
Any in particular that you’re able to share?
And then we also set up with Louise and the Grayson Manor estate.
Those little seeds that would spur a story on.
What would’ve happened to Mason?
We don’t know, honestly.
