SCHNEIDER | There was a very deep friendship there, even though Latham was not the best at expressing his emotions. Latham was his teacher and his mentor.įROLOV | And he was a great friend to Latham.
SCHNEIDER | They were the characters that he had sort of the most profound relationships with. How did you choose which characters would be the ones that would kind of send him off? TVLINE | Connor got two really lovely goodbyes with Dr. SCHNEIDER | But we do bring Robin back this season. They have their whole future ahead.įROLOV | We never closed the door on that, but as far as on our show, as a storyline, obviously, that isn’t going to happen. Was there ever a chance that the two of them would reunite and go off on their own? TVLINE | Some fans were still holding out hope that he and Robin would get back together.
#House md season 5 episode 1 cast update
TVLINE | Where did Connor go? Are we going to get an update on where exactly he landed?įROLOV | Well, you know, we kind of feel that he took that offer at the Mayo Clinic. We really wanted people to understand why he was leaving, and we felt that by having her die, despite all of his efforts in the OR, it would really help that motivation.įROLOV | But having her live was a possibility. TVLINE | And did you consider any other particular scenarios for this episode, for how they would say farewell?įROLOV | We debated if she was going to survive the suicide and be arrested, but it didn’t seem as satisfying to us. SCHNEIDER | It had a kind of inevitability about it, that it would end badly. TVLINE | Did you ever consider any other scenarios for Connor and Ava, for the conclusion?įROLOV | As soon as we started going down the road that she slept with his father, we knew that there would be no happy ending to this. But what it actually was sparked by, we’ve heard stories about really great surgeons who have terrible psychological problems. SCHNEIDER | Doesn’t mean she isn’t a great surgeon. SCHNEIDER | As she became increasingly obsessed with Connor, it brought up all her emotional issues, which were buried, but they’re there.įROLOV | And so this sparked them, and she has a personality disorder where everything really, really revolves around her, and her wants, and her desire to get the things that she wants.
What would you say was the turning point for her? TVLINE | When we first met Ava, she seemed pretty stable and healthy. So those two things came together in that decision. And it allowed her to take a final revenge on, and also gave him a big reason to leave. Why did you decide to give her such a tragic ending?įROLOV | We wanted to really give her story closure, absolutely slam the door. TVLINE | Ava’s story wrapped up very unexpectedly. SCHNEIDER | But they were both really game to jump in and resolve their stories in that way. He’s alive.įROLOV | And everybody loves working with him. They’re both terrific actors, and you know, the door is still open for Connor’s character. Norma had a lot of fun with that last episode. TVLINE | What kind of conversations did you have with Colin Donnell and Norma Kuhling about their character exits, and how things were going to go?ĪNDREW SCHNEIDER | Well, we told both of them that we wanted to give a real dramatic and emotionally satisfying ending to their story.ĭIANE FROLOV | And they were both very satisfied. The pair also explain why Ava had to die and discuss the possibility of a “happily ever after” for Connor and Robin. With that, Connor and his portrayer Colin Donnell bid adieu to the hospital - but the door remains open for the doc to make a return visit, showrunners Andrew Schneider and Diane Frolov reveal below.
