Forever Creator On What Would Have Happened

I know there are a few die-hard fans of ABC's cancelled show Forever here, so this post is for you! TV Line caught up with the show's executive producer Matt Miller, and he revealed the following tidbits about what would have happened if the show had continued, as reprinted from TV Line:

* Despite Forever sharing a network with Castle, there was no chance for a crossover event. “Couldn’t, because Castle was ABC Studios and we were WB Studios,” Miller wrote.

* Henry would’ve had a romantic dalliance in Season 2 with another immortal, “someone that was much, much younger than him.”

* The title of the series finale, “The Last Death of Henry Morgan,” wasn’t literal — Ioan Gruffudd’s character still would’ve been immortal in Season 2. “Just having fun with the audience,” Miller wrote.

* Adam — who, when the series ended, was effectively dead via “locked-in syndrome” that Henry caused — would’ve received a “death/rebirth” when someone unplugged his life support, Miller wrote… and that mystery person might have been the aforementioned third immortal.

* And while we’re on the topic of Adam: Burn Gorman was the only person who ever played him, even back in the phone call in the pilot.

* The wife with whom Henry had children (divulged during Miller’s initial tweetfest) was Spanish — a “Latin lover.”

* Jo’s criminal dad, and her upbringing as a delinquent-in-the-making, are what eventually led her to want to uphold the law. “She decided she wanted to be the opposite of her father,” Miller wrote.

* Lorraine Toussaint’s Lt. Reece would’ve had more to do in Season 2, but her role (which was often cut for time) is more fleshed out in the Season 1 DVDs.

* Season 2 flashbacks likely would’ve included a longer arc about Henry’s childhood and the moment that Abe learned his father’s secret. “Also,” Miller wrote, “young Abe learning to ride a bike.”

* Sorry to end on a downer, Forever fans: Per Miller, a wrap-up movie is “probably not in the cards.”
