Finally, after four long seasons, June has made it out of Gilead onThe Handmaid’s Tale.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What came to mind when you first found out about the reunion between June and Luke?
O-T FAGBENLE:I was really blown away that they were going to do this.
And it was so exciting.
Was it very emotional to shoot the reunion scenes?
It’s so funny, because obviously for the characters, it’s really emotional and huge.
These are overwhelming emotions.
But for the actors and this can’t be said for every set we really like each other.
Where do you think Luke is at right now with her, and what’s going through his mind?
The biggest challenge is trying to manage his expectations.
Because obviously, getting June back is huge, that’s an understatement.
That’s the biggest part.
So with his love coming back to him comes the desperate need to know any information about their daughter.
Is Luke as put together as he currently seems?
Someone once told me that some people’s anger gets expressed towards themselves, and it becomes depression.
And I think some people express it very easily externally.
You definitely see their relationship get about as extreme as you might imagine.
So, what’s next for Luke and June?
Don’t worry, Nick fans.
Nick rears his tricky little face into our business.
Will Luke and June get their happy ending?
I’ve come to think that the writers ofThe Handmaid’s Talearen’t overly enamored by happy endings.
Luke definitely holds a candle in the wind for that throw in of ending, though.
