Hope is not alone.
Hope was not a mistake.
And ultimately Hope is rebuilding a family for herself.
Sometimes with that comes great sacrifice.
I would love nothing more than to see that character again.
All I can say is that our goal when we get there is to make it count.
Its closer to an episode ofGleethan to anything Ive ever done.
That those episodes can exist side-by-side in the same season and feel like they fit in the same show.
But it just never wouldve worked.
We used to make the joke about theVampire Diariesthat its a show about 200-something-year-old guys with no jobs.
