Was that always how the season was going to end?
Where are you looking to take Rebecca in season 2?
Theres going to be ramifications for everybody.
Shes going to try and get underneath whether Josh really does feel the same way about her.
Rebecca has this effect on the town, shes sort of a pebble in a pond.
You mentioned the title sequence.
Does that mean well get a new one next season?
We are doing a new one for next season, yep!
Well do a new one every season that were on.
When you all wrote this finale, did you know youd been picked up for a second season?
We didnt actually, no.
I found out about it the day that I handed in a cut of 118.
Its an episode about recidivism, Rebeccas slide backwards.
Its hard to change and its hard to escape your past.
Its hard to change.
How did thatAladdinsequence come about?
It came from the idea of a super pumped up fantasy for her.
Then we got the magic carpet and kind of worked backwards from there.
Because we had a Filipino wedding and she was marrying someone Jewish and then we had thisAladdinmagic carpet.
It was a lot of princess thematology.
Rebeccas religion is fantasy and escapism.
Ive grown to love Valencia.
Whats next for her?
We love her, too.
Thats an instance where the actor really adds more and more to the character.
Youre going to be seeing a lot more of her.
What are you most looking forward to exploring in season 2?
Talk me through Gregs decision to walk away from Rebecca when he sees Josh.
Hes just too afraid.
So are we working to get him to this place where he does speak up?
The love story is never the destination, if that makes any sense.
Greg just has a long way to go before hes able to really be a good partner to anybody.
I think they all do.
