CAITLIN THOMPSON: I think it shows a lot of growth on her part.

She’s realizing she’s worthy of finding true love.

There’s a lot at stake for her.

[Laughs] It’s more dramatic when you’re in the wedding dress.

It takes a big moment to come to terms with it.

Madison and Kate pledged nothing would come between their friendship, and we see her playing bridesmaid to Kate.

Still, she jilted her brother, so might that temporarily cause some hard feelings there?

I mean, I feel like Kate paved the way for her to be honest with her.

Kate’s really good at compartmentalizing between her brother [and Madison].

I think they’re in a good place.

I like to think so.

In the flash-forward, Madison and Kevin are very chummy.

You could read that as they’re together or just happily co-parenting.

Is there any hope that love will grow like Kevin suggested?

There’s always that hope.

Honestly, I don’t know.

I think they both realize that it can’t be the way that it is currently.

But if not, they’d make an amazing team as co-parents.

What would you root for for her to end up with Kevin or find someone else?

I feel like as long as she’s happy and finds love, I’m good.

I think she deserves it.

So that’s all I can root for.

That flash-forward had a lot to digest Nicky is married, Randall’s a rising star of something.

Within those reveals or even outside of them, are there more shocking surprises to come?

I feel like if we know the show by now, there definitely can be more things popping up.

Do you know who Nicky is married to?

That is not a lie.

I honestly do not know.

I have a thought.

I think we all have the same thought.

But I don’t know.

They’re going to be in each other’s lives every day or day-to-day.

They’re going to have to figure out that arrangement, what that looks like.

They’re going to have to figure it out.

The final season is coming up.

What’s on your wish list for Madison?

Madison will ride off into the sunset with her babies and her love interest.
