(Spare a tear for poor Abigail, whos dating Dylan when she comes upon this revelation.)
Luckily, series creator Tom Edge doesnt see this coupling as an end point for these anxiety-ridden romantics.
Was that liberating or scary?It was a little of both.
We felt it was necessary at a certain point.
I was thankful you didnt make us wait another season to watch Dylan and Evie get together.
But we also felt that it wasnt ever just a show about Dylan or indeed about Dylan and Evie.
So what we endeavored to do is a baton pass to an extent.
How do I do it?
And Dylan begins to be the one who is cautiously going to help his friend.
Dylan and Evie dont get a honeymoon period.
You just get to forget about them, leave them in the shadows.
I felt this story was less unclouded.
Even if they want that in that moment, theyre not bad people.
There arent many thoroughgoing villains in this show.
I was also really aware that some viewers might find that a little frustrating.
Thats a happier place than previous finales.
To see him rest under duress for a moment, it felt right.
It wasnt a big cliff-hanger-y kind of ending, which was unusual for us.

What happens to a mind like that?
It sounds like youre thinking about season four already.
I do feel like there is another season of story to tell.
If wedodo a fourth season, I have a sense of where we want to take the show.
Fingers crossed that people find it.
Do you think the name change fromScrotal RecalltoLovesickhelped you move in that direction?I hope so.
Its always assumed that Netflix mandated this in some way and thats not the case.
We actually asked them: Do you think our frat-boy nightmare of a name might be mis-selling the show?
On balance, yeah, Im happy we made that change.
Certainly my grandmother is happy we made that change.
Did you come up with that original title?I hate choosing titles.
And then we started using it as a working title, then we got fond of it.
I cant hang that decision on anyone else, unfortunately.
You also wrote the Paterfamilias episode ofThe Crown, which digs into Prince Philips past.
What was writing that like with Peter Morgan?It was great fun to do that.
