Mary mary cant give up now video11/11/2022 That, in our world, Mary did inadvertently cause his death, and that Catherine would come to love her anyway (and that Mary would be able to forgive Catherine her many transgressions) seemed an impossible hill to climb, which made me all the more determined to achieve it. I wanted to start them deeply at odds with one another, which is why the series kicked off with the prophesy that Mary would cause Francis's death. There was something so heartbreaking about a girl who never really had a family and a woman whose own children were destined to resent, if not despise, her. McCarthy: The evolution of Mary and Catherine's relationship was woven into many storylines, but it remains top of my list. Which storylines over the course of the last four seasons were personal favorites? And spread the word, because Megan Follows is amazing, and back at this moment in history France is ripe for some insane story, and Catherine de Medici and her passionate, blood-thirsty and nutty brood were only just getting started. McCarthy: I want it to happen too! So yes. she just didn't know she was servicing a larger evil as well.Ĭan we consider Catherine's ending with her daughter Margot a bit of an open door? Seriously, we all just want this spinoff to happen. I liked that she owed the witch payment for manipulating her sons (by killing the girl who came between them), and that Catherine's last sexual encounter on the series serviced that debt. So we just had to get them together one last time. I always loved that she and Narcisse felt so evenly matched. McCarthy: Well, it just seemed time for a witchy-3-way, didn't it? Catherine was already dabbling in the occult and she's so powerful and so sexual. Tell us about that Narcisse/Catherine/Emanuelle threesome! Bash and Kenna are characters I will always love (and I adore Torrance Coombs and Caitlyn Stasey as well).Īdelaide Kane, Reign Ben Mark Holzberg, Ben Mark Holzberg/The CW But many things complicated the possibility - not only the actors' availabilities, but the amount of characters we had on our existing canvas at any given time, not to mention in three nations (Scotland, England and France). I think I was toying with the idea of Mary's final thoughts being of her life with Francis, of being spiritually reunited with him, as early as Season 2.ĭid you ever consider appearances from other original characters like Bash or Kenna? The scene was filmed before Toby Regbo left the series - we shot it and just held it not knowing when the end would come but knowing what it would be. I felt that in her darkest moment that was a place her mind might go. Mary's marriage was a political one and for our Mary, and our Francis, it was an unexpected miracle that they fell for one another. I wanted to celebrate where the show began, which is with a love story. Historically she was said to find happiness and friendship even in her years of captivity. McCarthy: When one looks back on Mary's life it seemed so tragic. At what point did you know you wanted that reunion to be the end? The ending montage with Francis was a beautiful way to finish the series. Laurie McCarthy: We always took liberties with history, but there were certain events we felt bound to Mary's death being the largest and most important one of them. Why did you consider it necessary to include a 21-year time jump to the end of Mary's life? spoke with showrunner Laurie McCarthy about constructing this final episode, and whether or not Catherine's ( Megan Follows) ambiguous ending could lead to a potential spinoff. In heaven with Francis ( Toby Regbo), Mary finally got to rest in peace with her true love. Luckily, we were spared the gruesome details of her death and instead got to witness her well-deserved happily-ever-after. Flash-forward 21 years later, and we get to see Mary's final moments before her execution (for a plot to kill Elizabeth that we didn't hear much about).
