loyal viewers of a million little things Was hit in the stomach with the Last lap of season 4 , which revealed that Gary hadn’t actually been declared cancer-free earlier in the season, as we’d been led to believe. In the same episode that gave us the wonderful news that he and Maggie were expecting a baby , they also immediately made us wonder if Gary would be in their son’s life and for how long. They fifth and final season of the ABC drama It’s just around the corner, and if showrunner Terrence Coli’s comments are any indication, we could all be heartbroken.
Terrence Coli e a million little things creator DJ Nash spoke with Deadline in preparation for the ABC drama’s return on Feb. 8, which will kick off “The Farewell Season.” The secret that Gary (James Roday Rodriguez) and Maggie (Allison Miller) kept from their friends — and us — in Season 4 will obviously be a big plot point, after Rome (Romany Malco) accidentally stumbles upon Gary’s taped confession. about his lung cancer. diagnostic. Coli explained how Season 5 will echo something Close Friends experienced in Season 1, saying:
It looks like a bookend. The group of friends will gather around Gary. I’m here to achieve [sic] others and has appeared, through all trials and tribulations.
What’s interesting is that the showrunner calls it a “bookend,” and since season 1, the friends of Boston have reunited after the death by suicide of his friend Jon (Ron Livingston), does that mean there will be another death to wrap up the series?
One of the people who knows the answer to that question is DJ Nash, who knew right from the start how he wanted to end the story. Nash explained:
When I shoot a pilot, I like to know where it goes. We knew from the start that this was where we were going. It’s a secret that has long been kept between EPs and writers.
DJ Nash came to the series with strong opinions about some of his storylines. As lathered as some textures may be (ahem, Gary’s attack on Sophie’s teacher ), the writers want other aspects to maintain authenticity. The decision that Eddie (David Giuntoli) would never walk again it was one that Nash was very fond of, because while he admits it would have made great television, it “wouldn’t have been true to the journey that most people with paralysis go on.”
Gary’s Cancer and Rome’s Depression are two more examples, as the creator previously noted that both illnesses were recurring, so the plan was always for these characters to continue through those battles. What this fight for authenticity means for Gary’s fate remains to be seen.
