ONE mti kilima FANS. COM GOT AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
WITH THE CREATOR OF OTH AND THIS IS WHAT HE HAD 2 SAYY
Hi, this is Don with BuddyTV and today I’m talking to Mark Schwahn, creator of One mti Hill. There are a lot of One mti kilima mashabiki at BuddyTV, so we asked them to submit some maswali for you. I just wanted to go over some of those. People want to know if Mouth and Millicent are going to get serious inayofuata season.
Yeah, I feel like Mouth finally found a girl. Fourth season, fifth season, Mouth sort of drifted a little bit until we met Millicent, and it just felt so right to me, that couple. Obviously they’re pursuing their own dreams and ambitions, and I think when you’re young and you’re in your twenties, you’re trying to set up the architecture for what your life is going to be down the line. wewe feel like if wewe don’t do it right now, there may never come another chance to do it, in terms of career. I think that their storyline will be: can wewe have your career ambitions and also be a couple, and what does it mean to your relationship if you’re chasing different things? But that’s a couple that gives me a feeling of sort of safeness and makes me comfortable to watch them together, and I like that for the audience and I like that for the show. That doesn’t mean they won’t have obstacles ahead of them, as all couples do on One mti Hill, but mashabiki will definitely see zaidi of them in season six.
There are a lot of shabiki inayopendelewa characters that people would like to see back, like Rachel au Tim au Chase au Whitey.
Is there any chance of any of those people coming back this season?
Yeah, there’s a chance that wewe would see all of those characters -- well, I don’t know about Tim. I’m being sarcastic. We’re pretty early at it in terms of mapping out the entire season, but I would add Jake to that list, too. I’ve been talking to Bryan [Greenberg] about coming back, I don’t know if it’ll work out with his schedule and what he’s doing. I think the great thing about being in season 6 is wewe have all of that architecture, all of that history to draw upon. I always felt like Rachel went away in not the best light when she disappeared, and I’d upendo to check in with Whitey. I always think it’s great when we can see the return of some of these characters. We’d like to do that and we have some concrete plans to do it, but a lot of it is up in the air.
A lot of people want to know what happened to the theme song and if it will make a return appearance.
It’s interesting about the theme song. Not only is it costly -- and that never sort of drives what we do creatively, but I think mashabiki don’t understand that there’s money on the meza, jedwali every time they hear the theme song. That sounds like a bullsh*t producer response, too, but that’s a part of it because every mwaka our budget is pretty challenged. Knowing that, when I looked at the jump ahead, the four mwaka jump, I felt like “I Don’t Wanna Be” was very much an anthem for their adolescent lives. It was very much about who am I going to be and who am I and who am I going to be someday. Not to mention that it was 42 sekunde of screen time that I knew I could use for story. So a lot went into the decision to drop the theme song, it wasn’t done lightly. For Chad [Michael Murray's upcoming noir-themed] episode it would be fun to hear that theme song done in a zaidi time period relevant way. Never say never, but right now I think we’ll probably just go with the black card.
There were a lot of new characters introduced last season.
Is there anyone new joining this year?
We will meet some new faces along the way, sure. One of them is John Doe, who is playing Nick Wolfe, who may au may not be Peyton’s biological father. And I think that that’s very much at the center of the storyline, is they expect him to be her father but he’s not very forthcoming as a character with that information. The swali is why is that the case when he clearly made a choice to reach out to Peyton. So we plan to see John earlier than later in the season. We’ll see the return of Daphne Zuniga’s character, Victoria, which is really great. Above and beyond that, we will see some new characters. One of them is a character named Samantha, who is being played kwa Ashley Rickards. She’s a younger character, I always think it’s important to keep younger characters in the onyesha while the onyesha has aged. wewe still have a young shabiki base that’s interested in those stories, and so Samantha is going to be a high school student that we’re going to meet early on and tell stories about her as well.
A lot of people want to know if An Unkindness of Ravens will actually be published as a tie-in novel au anything like that.
We have talked about that and it hasn’t come together just yet, because somebody’s got to write it. If it’s going to be written, considering it was Lucas’s book and it introduced Lucas as an mwandishi fictionally, it’s got to be quality, it’s got to be a decent book. It’s not something where we just want to hire a ghostwriter and say, “Just do this so that it’s a piece of merchandise.” I would just want to make sure there is a reason to do it and that there's spin that we could put on it. We have talked about it though, so hopefully that’ll come to light. If it doesn’t, it wasn’t for trying, that’s for sure.
Is there any chance that either Haley au Brooke will end up with another baby any time soon?
That’s also being talked about. I think Brooke, certainly we’ve planted the scenes for. Her storyline centers around what a family is and what a family can be considering hers was not what she had hoped for. And so I think that’ll continue to be at the center. If she ends up with Lucas, I think that they would upendo to have kids. And if she doesn’t end up with Lucas, I think the idea of family is still very much at the forefront of her story. And we’ve actually, just so wewe know, and I haven’t alisema this publicly to anyone else, we’ve talked about Nathan and Haley as well. What it would be like to introduce a baby, because with the four mwaka jump the mashabiki didn’t get to spend time with the baby with that couple, we jumped ahead to Jamie as a four-year-old. Yeah, all of that stuff is up for grabs.
Just one last swali here.
Now, I know wewe can’t tell us who Lucas invited to Las Vegas, obviously, but do wewe think the mashabiki will be happy with how that storyline plays out?
wewe know Don, I really hope so. I know that there’s a danger in -- One of the staples of our onyesha and the staples of televisheni in general has been the upendo triangle. For us it became a upendo rectangle, which was my version and the show’s version of trying to turn that dynamic on its head a little bit. I think at the end of last season no one would have expected Lindsey, no one would have expected the introduction of someone else that Lucas was interested in and that Lucas loved. Whether the mashabiki loved it au hated it au whether they felt like it worked, I always felt it was a way of challenging the audience and yet still giving them the onyesha they sort of love. Obviously, I’m not stupid about this stuff and I don’t make these decisions lightly, I know that if Lucas picks one person, that changes the dynamic that the audience has been familiar with for a long, long time. The relationship and who Lucas picks will frame the season for a lot of fans. For the ones that are happy, it’ll be a great season. For the ones that wish he would have picked someone else, the season will suck. I would just urge them to look beyond that and look at what we’re doing as a show. I mean, when wewe watch the first three episodes, it’s undeniable that this is still a relevant, risky, mbele thinking show. I think that this season is once again a really challenging, mbele thinking season of One mti Hill.
