APPELMAN:ItsSleepy Hollow, so theres always a chance.
Theres always a chance of flashbacks, and theres always a chance of ghosts and spirits.
Whether or not thats in the works, I have no idea.
Shes had such a tough life, and shes been so closed off and hurt.
Im really glad that I was the catalyst to let that happen.
How do you feel about this ending for Joe?
I think its shocking, and its brutal, and it feels unfair, which I think is right.
You cant have tragedy without actually having tragedy.
So I liked that there was something sort of brutal and immediate about it.
Yeah, but I also think Joe doesnt blame Jenny for it.
I think thats the important thing in those last moments for Joe.
Joe has a lot of blood on his hands already from his previous Wendigo incidents.
At least before he died, he finally got Jennys permission to rummage through her whole trailer.
She finally gave him the keys!
It was a piece that Lyndie and I enjoyed a lot.
Where did you see their relationship going?
Whats been your favorite part of doingSleepy Hollow?
You get to run around the woods fighting monsters I mean, thats so much fun.
So theres that part of it.
Personally, whats been so wonderful for me is getting to work with Lyndie so much.
I felt like there was more to be explored with those relationships, too.
Tom and I had a lot of Joe-Crane bromance storylines we wanted to do.
Were there any other ideas you were hoping to make happen?
It was kind of an homage to that scene inJawswhen theyre on the boat and theyre comparing war wounds.
I also think Joe ships Crane and Abbie.
Im gonna play matchmaker.
Itd be sort of likeMuch Ado About Nothing, Beatrice and Benedick.
The friends have to trick them.
Do you have any thoughts on how you want to see Abbie and Cranes relationship play out?
I think its tricky!
Like that scene when hes making her dinner, the Italian dinner with the candles.
And then there was a scene a couple of episodes ago where theyre having a heart to heart.
I see it less from Abbie to Crane, but I see it very much from Crane to Abbie.
I dont even know if hes aware of it, but I think the guys head over heels.
And I think Joe sees that, too … Joe and Jenny are younger.
I think theyre a lot more impulsive.
And I also dont think theyre mutually exclusive.
I think the more love on the show, the better.
Are there any scenes that youve done that stand out when you look back?
One of my favorites was actually at the end of Sins of the Father.
That was a really beautiful scene that Damian Kindler wrote.
There was something so simple about it and something really intimate about it too.
Theyd both had these troubled relationships with their father, and it wasnt about demons and monsters.
It was just about human beings.
Lyndie and I were both really pleased with how that scene turned out.
I loved the whole banshee episode.
It was exactly the right tone forSleepy Hollow.
Russell Fine directed that episode; that one was wonderful.
And one of my favorite episodes is The Art of War, when Jenny gets possessed with the Shard.
Assuming this is really it, is there anything youd like to say to eulogize Joe?
I really loved playing Joe.
I have a lot of respect for him.
Where did that come from?
Because hes a young guy.
Its been a joy.
And Id love to come back as Zombie Joe.
