00:00Well, congratulations on this season. This is the final season.
00:04What was your reaction when you first read the final scripts?
00:07And do you think Joe gets an appropriate ending?
00:10Have you seen it? No, okay.
00:14I didn't, like, the last episode took like a while to come and we were all speculating,
00:19like, because we knew from like one to nine and everyone had like their own sort of theories
00:25on what they thought and it was not even close to any of us.
00:31So it was completely the unexpected.
00:34I think whatever the outcome would have been, there would have been a flip side where people are like,
00:38no, that shouldn't have happened, that shouldn't have happened.
00:40So I think, yes, there is very, there's a lot of positives.
00:45Not positives, but like a lot of people will feel satisfied, like, yes, he got what he deserved.
00:49A lot of people won't.
00:50Well, I know the start of this season is also a three-year time jump.
00:54So how does that change the dynamic of the show and also for Nadia?
00:59Well, luckily, I have looked the same since I was 10.
01:02So when they said three-year time jump, I was like, is anyone going to put anything on me?
01:08I think it adds to like how long it's, like, how long Nadia's been in prison,
01:15how long Kate's been living with all of these lies.
01:17And it just, I think it just adds to the intensity of it, you know, as opposed to,
01:21oh, it's just the next year, like, people have been living like this for three years.
01:26Why do you think now is the right time to end the show?
01:28Because you can't keep getting away with it.
01:30You just can't keep getting away with this, you know.
01:33And I think, you know, end on a high and people still love the show.
01:37And it does feel like sad, but the right time to end it, I think.
01:42Although if they, you know, if I was a viewer and they made season seven, eight, nine,
01:46I'd still be tuning in.
01:47I would.
01:48What are you going to miss the most about having Penn as a scene partner?
01:50I think how much I learned from him without him saying anything.
01:56Like, he's just so, and especially in season four, he directed an episode.
02:02And I just thought that was really magical.
02:05Yeah, he's just, he has taught me more than probably I've let him know, you know.
02:10But he's very, yeah, he's a really special person.
02:12I'm so, so happy that I got to work with him and get to know him.
02:16Of course, there's been a lot of love interests that Joe has had over the seasons.
02:22Who do you think would be the best match for him had he not become an obsessive serial killer?
02:28I mean, love, he met as much.
02:34But I think it's something very special about Kate because she's always been like one step ahead of the game.
02:39And I like that she puts him in his place quite a lot of the time.
02:43And you'll see that more in this season as well, yeah.
02:46And finally, this show takes obsession to the extreme.
02:49But I wanted to know for you, what is your healthy obsession right now?
02:53Whether a show, a song.
02:54Vanderpump Rules.
02:56What is it?
02:56Vanderpump Rules.
02:57Oh, Vanderpump Rules.
02:58Oh my gosh, yes, that's everyone's healthy obsession.
03:01Lisa Vanderpump is in New York.
03:02I couldn't believe it.
03:03I switched on the TV this morning and went, oh, it's meant to be.
03:05She's from London, I'm from London.
03:06I don't know if we can call it a healthy obsession though.
03:08Because for me, it might be like borderline.
03:11It's unhealthy.
03:12It's unhealthy.
03:12Healthy obsession.
03:13Yeah.
03:16I love it.
03:17Yeah, we'll take it.
03:17We'll take it.
03:18They've got rules.
03:18Yeah.
03:18We got rules.
03:19You
