Take a backseat, love triangles!
In #LizaToo, the publishing companys golden boy, Edward L.L.
(We found our villain for the season, thats for damn sure.)
Congrats onthe season-six renewal!
So tasty.Oh God, I had quite a few of thoseMarriage Vacationcocktails.
Have you read theactualMarriage Vacationbook?
I cant believe how quicklyYoungerreached real literature based on the show status.I know, isnt it crazy?
I havent read it yet, but I have my copy.
I heard it gets pretty salacious, Im not sure if I can read it.
I know its fiction, but still Im like,ahhhh!
I can confirm page 58 is indeedvery salacious.Okay, phew.
Yes, I think Ill still read it.
With another season confirmed, have you given much thought as to how longYoungerwill go?
Has an endgame been discussed?I dont think Darren and the writers have an exact endgame yet.
I know theyre taking it season by season.
What I love about the show is that its grown beyond the original conceit.
The show can exist where Liza lying about her age is no longer a secret.
The show could survive beyond that.
Every season, we gain more viewers and thats so exciting.
Lets see how long we can keep it going!
Go forGreys Anatomystatus.Id be so curious what stories would come up with for 15 seasons.
But yes, that would be wonderful.
Why was it important for the season to begin with this #MeToo storyline?
The writers created this L.L.
Moore character who was a flirty old man and said inappropriate things in prior seasons.
It made for a great dramatic story line and also a very timely story line.
Im so proud of our writers and how they held the character accountable.
The #MeToo movement definitely sealed Edwards fate.
It was interesting to see the perspective from Empiricals employees and Edwards fans.
Its such a hot topic.
He gave me his hotel key in season two.
He was trying to sleep with me.
Where is the line?
When is it crossed?
Its all this grey area were talking about.
But yeah, youre right, the fans are pissed.
Look at the author who did this bad thing instead!Ahhh!Its complicated.
The big news is that Charles now knows Lizas secret.
I dont think it ever crossed his mind.
Why would he believe otherwise, you know?
Im just so convincing!
Hes going to feel incredibly betrayed and hurt and confused.
It was the last thing that wouldve crossed his mind.
It gets pretty intense and takes them a bit to find their way to each other.
Its definitely done in trueYoungerfashion.
Its a huge blow to Charles.
In a weird way, I expected him to be like, Oh, Ive known this entire time.
But that wouldve been too many twists.Yeah, definitely.
Ive always thought that Diana has always known.
Its interesting how it plays out.
Liza really owns her power this season.
Shes like, You know what, fuck all of this!She owns it, its good.
What about Pauline finding out Lizas secret?
In a different circumstance, I believe they would be very good friends, but of course its complicated.
That will be fun for the writers to figure out.
Theyre keeping the company afloat, and the last thing they need is a scandal or any false representation.
There might be a way to spin it, but that would be down the line.
For now, everyones just trying to play it super safe and keep things under wraps.
Its going to blow up.
Its just a matter of when and how.
I love that idea.
I feel that will probably happen.
It doesnt happen this season, but thats a great, great, great idea.
