![]() It was really beautiful.Bleak Faith: Forsaken is coming very soon, based on the release date trailer that dropped recently. I think we actually did have to sound edit some sniffles because it was not just coming from the two women on camera. Then I realized everyone was crying - the crew, our producers. “When we shot that scene, I stood there with Kelly Hutchinson, who’s my best friend, a writer on the show and very much one of the inspirations for this relationship, and we just stood arm in arm bawling. “I knew it was going to be really hard to get through, but I also wanted it to feel as weighted and authentic as possible - beyond just Jen and Judy saying goodbye, it was Christina and Linda saying goodbye, it was me saying goodbye and it was the entire crew,” Feldman recalls. While crying was written into the script, they had to do the scene a few different takes. In fact, there were some takes where they “couldn’t get the dialogue out,” Cardellini says. “If I had really shown what I was actually feeling on the inside, we wouldn’t have gotten any dialogue in.” I couldn’t even tone it down,” says Applegate. Feldman intentionally waited until the very end of the shoot to film Jen and Judy’s last scene together - their goodbye scene in bed. My body was not feeling amazing during our shooting, so it all kind of worked.”Īpplegate was also diagnosed with multiple sclerosis during filming and many days on set were emotional. Think of that is pretty committed,” jokes Applegate. “Being the method actor that I am when I found out about the pregnancy, I made sure immediately I gained 40 pounds. But the more she thought about it and the other writers talked about it, it all came together. The same is true with Judy’s storyline and what that was able to do for Jen in terms of healing from the loss of her mother.”Īt first, the idea of making Jen pregnant sounded “crazy” to Feldman. “Given what Judy went through, especially in the beginning of the show, and even prior to Season 1 - her whole history with fertility and infertility, which very much mirrors my own - it just felt like, wow, what a way to bring everything kind of full circle. ![]() Having Judy die in the end was an important part of the story for Feldman, and her “goal” for the season was to give everyone closure and in a way, connect everything. With the series wrapping up, the actors struggled to not only say goodbye to each other (we’ll get to that later) but also to the characters. “These women were imperfect and wonderful, they were flawed and they made mistakes and they did some things. If I had wanted to explore that, I would have,” she says. So did Jen tell Ben about Steve - and did he forgive her? “I think that’s for you and for the audience to explore for himself. I wanted people to feel their feelings, but also give a little sense of delight.” You don’t know where to put your feelings, you just have to feel them. Because you don’t know, you don’t have the answers. That’s why it’s so long lasting, why grief is so hard to work through. ![]() “My experience with grief is, you don’t know what happens. I didn’t want to stray from that,” Feldman says. ![]() I didn’t want to put too fine a period on anything. “I wanted the end to still feel very much like the show.
