The Friends cast was not a fan of the Joey and Rachel romantic storyline (which fans also hated) — particularly Matt LeBlanc, who played Joey. “LeBlanc said it felt incestuous (especially uncomfortable after so many years of cultivating a brotherly bond with the female characters),” wrote Kelsey Miller in her book I’ll Be There for You: The One About Friends. Kevin S. Bright, one of the show’s executive producers, also said LeBlanc “did not want to do that story” and was “firmly against it” as Joey was “Ross’ friend, and … the type of friend that Joey is would never go and take someone else’s girlfriend.” LeBlanc also told Vanity Fair, “It felt wildly inappropriate” as “That’s Rachel. She was supposed to be with Ross.” Aniston was also hesitant.
Series co-creator David Crane recalled LeBlanc saying, ‘It’s wrong. It’s like I want to be with my sister.” The cast even went to the showrunners to lobby against the move, saying, “We’re really concerned about this. It doesn’t feel right. We have a problem with it.” However, the writers stuck to their guns, wanting to get into new territory, and took a creative risk. Did it pay off? Well, ask the fans, who famously hated the storyline.

Heroes series creator Tim Kring was pretty open, even at the time, about what a mess Season 2 of the show was. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly as the writers’ strike halted production (ultimately causing them to cut the season short), Kring said, “We assumed the audience wanted Season 1 — a buildup of intrigue about these characters and the discovery of their powers. We taught [them] to expect a certain kind of storytelling. They wanted adrenaline. We made a mistake.” He also acknowledged, “We took too long to get to the big-picture story,” and that several new characters were introduced in less-than-stellar ways during “separate story lines that felt unattached to the show.”
Specifically, he pointed to one unpopular Season 2 storyline, where Hiro was in feudal 17th-century Japan, mentoring a samurai. It “should have [lasted] three episodes,” he said. “We didn’t give the audience enough story to justify the time we allotted it.”
3.
Kring also regretted the romantic subplot in Hiro’s story, where Hiro falls for a princess who is also the romantic interest of the samurai he’s helping…
4.
…And the romantic subplot with Hayden Panettiere’s Claire, too, saying, “I’ve seen more convincing romances on TV. In retrospect, I don’t think romance is a natural fit for us.”

Jerry Seinfeld stopped short of regret when it came to the controversial ending of his sitcom Seinfeld, but he did admit he was still bothered by it. “I don’t believe in regret,” he said in a conversation with GQ. “I think it’s arrogant to think you could have done something different. You couldn’t. That’s why you did what you did.” However, he recalled reminiscing with Jeff Schaffer, a writer and producer on the show, and series co-creator Larry David, and it appears they agreed on what the finale’s issue was: “It was obviously about the final scene, leaving them in the jail cell.”
Though in 2017, Vulture had reported that he “sometimes” has regret over the controversial finale. In fact, Seinfeld said he almost wishes they hadn’t made the episode (which also functioned as a clip show, where characters from past seasons returned to testify against the gang, leading to clips of their misdeeds). “There was a lot of pressure on us at that time to do one big last show, but big is always bad in comedy,” he said. Instead, comedy should be “small and cheap and quick … That’s why TV is always funnier than movies, because you don’t have that much time and that much money.”
Curb Your Enthusiasm, also created by Larry David, paid homage to the moment and further suggested that both Seinfeld and David (who wrote Seinfeld‘s final episode) regret the ending. In the episode, David ends up in jail, but is bailed out by Seinfeld himself. The two then state this is what they should’ve done the first time.

One of the most infamous Grey’s Anatomy storylines is when Denny appears as a ghost* to Izzie in Season 5. Turns out, fans weren’t alone in disliking the plot — Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who played Denny, and Katherine Heigl, who played Izzie, found it cringe-worthy, too. “I don’t know that anybody thought that was working when we were doing it,” Morgan said, and Heigl called it “awkward — not the scenes, but the concept.”
“I don’t know that the story stuck,” Morgan said. “It was a hard one for the viewers because it was so kind of out of the realm of Grey’s Anatomy. And I think by the time we… It started airing while we were still shooting the story, and we knew that the audience reaction wasn’t that excited about, ‘What? She’s seeing a dead guy? What the fuck is going on?'” Heigl said she’d be “embarrassed” to watch the scene where she has sex with ghost Denny with her daughter and wouldn’t watch it with her. Fans also tend to find this scene particularly weird.
But one scene was even worse than sex with ghost Denny for Heigl: “There’s one particular scene that I will not watch with my children ever. I don’t care how old they are. I don’t care if they’re 60, I’m not watching this with them. And it was a scene where you’re in the room, but I’m trying to be like, ‘You are not here, you’re not here.’ And Alex [Justin Chambers] and Izzie start messing around and he goes down on her. And you’re just standing there,” Heigl said, speaking to Morgan. “And I was just sort of at the time like, ‘This is what the money’s for, right?'” She later said it was her least favorite scene. “That was like, ‘Oh, man.’ And I really thought it was going to feel different when it actually played on camera. But, oh, man, that was weird.”
7.
Heigl also disliked the storyline where Izzie had an affair with George, who was then married to Callie. “They really hurt somebody, and they didn’t seem to be taking a lot of responsibility for it. I have a really hard time with that kind of thing. I’m maybe a little too black-and-white about it. I don’t really know Izzie very well right now. She’s changed a lot. I’m trying to figure her out and keep her real,” she told Vanity Fair, then called the storyline “a ratings ploy.”
8.
Speaking of Grey’s Anatomy…Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey were not overly fond of the musical episode. “Remember we did that horrible musical number — I mean sorry to disrespect who wrote it — but I mean that musical, we were horrified, right?” Pompeo recalled to Dempsey in 2021. She also noted she “can’t sing” but didn’t want to “chicken out.” Dempsey said he, on the other hand, “chickened out completely.”
“I was like ‘No way in hell am I going to be singing,'” Dempsey remembered, calling the “whole concept” wild and implying he was glad he didn’t participate. “It didn’t make sense to me then. And now when you see it and you’re like ‘Oh my God’…at least they tried it.” Pompeo agreed: “Yeah, it was completely ridiculous, I haven’t seen it again.” However, Dempsey chalked it up to fond memories in the end, praising his time on the series.

I. Marlene King pushed back against the idea that there were plot holes or reveals that didn’t work on Pretty Little Liars, but she did acknowledge one small regret, involving a flashback scene between Alison and Toby. I can’t be sure, but I assume it’s the oft-mocked scene where Toby wears a du-rag while he’s in juvie. “We did do a flashback of Toby and Alison when, chronologically, they would probably be much younger than they appeared on the screen,” King said. “That’s just how we always did our flashbacks up to that point with our actors. In hindsight, we probably should’ve hired younger actors to play in that scene. That’s a thing we probably could’ve done a better job with.” Not sure that was *quite* the issue, King.
10.
King also later said she regretted all the main couples breaking up during the time jump from high school to adulthood. When asked about what King would redo, she said, “I wouldn’t have broken up all of the couples between the five-year time jump, between [seasons] 5A and 5B. I would have kept at least one couple together. I won’t tell you which one, but I wish I would have done that.” While we don’t know which, I’ll just point out that Hanna and Caleb’s breakup— and his ensuing relationship with Spencer — was extremely unpopular with fans…and King called their breakup the most heartbreaking scene she’d ever written.
11.
Lost tended to face criticism for only focusing on a few characters on the island, using ever-changing background actors for the other plane crash survivors. So they decided to throw in two new characters in Season 3, claiming they’d been there the entire time: Nikki and Paolo. Both characters were near-universally hated by fans, as was their storyline, involving stolen diamonds.
Showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse heard the criticism loud and clear. “People hated them before they even opened their mouths to say anything significant because it felt like they were crashing the party. The easiest thing would have been to just write them out and forget they ever happened,” Lindelof said. “But that’s not Lost. We should at least own up to it,” Lindelof said in another interview. They decided to kill off Nikki and Paolo…but not before focusing an entire episode on the two.
“The audience rebelled against Nikki and Paolo [because] we introduced them in a way that they were supposed to believe they had been there all along. So our response was, ‘Well, let’s show the audience that they have been there all along,'” Lindelof said. To accomplish this, they cut together new and old footage, inserting the characters into past moments and showing them interacting with past side characters. Still, the episode was negatively received by many fans.
12.
It’s not just Nikki and Paolo that got backlash. Later seasons of the show became increasingly convoluted, and some of the characters became less and less likable. Evangeline Lilly, who played Kate, disliked most of her character’s later storylines — especially when she chased after Jack in Season 3 and ended up getting captured by The Others. She felt Kate had been reduced to “chasing men around the island,” adding, “that irritated the shit out of me.”
13.
And Harold Perrineau was critical of the storyline where Walt, his character Michael’s son, is kidnapped in Season 2 — namely because Michael originally only asked about him once. He also felt that the white characters were getting more screen time and meatier storylines and that he was there to be the token Black character. The script ended up being changed (into another unpopular storyline, featuring Michael killing two characters to get his son back), but Perrineau felt his relationship with the showrunners soured, and they actually ended up letting him go at the end of the season.
14.
It’s always vindicating when a star hates a TV storyline as much as the viewers did. One example? When Deb admitted her feelings for her adoptive brother Dexter on Dexter. Turns out Jennifer Carpenter, who played Deb, was no fan of the storyline either. When asked about a plotline she’d like to change at a fan event, she quipped, “I’ve got one. Can you guess? When they said that the adopted brother was her new love interest?!” Fans applauded and laughed, agreeing with Carpenter’s take.
15.
Another infamous choice? The cougar that cornered Kim in 24. The offending scene happens in the 11th episode of Season 2, which sees Jack Bauer’s daughter, Kimberly, becoming caught in an animal trap in the wilderness as she flees authorities. A cougar watches Kim as she tries to escape — this was an obstacle fans mocked, as it was just another over-the-top obstacle for the perennially-in-danger Kim. Series co-creator Robert Cochran said they came up with the idea as the writers and producers were familiar with Angeles Crest Forest, where Bauer was in the episode, and the fact that there were cougars there. They included one in a scene because they “were just looking for something to toss in that would put her in jeopardy as she was roaming around up there.”
“We tossed it in, but it didn’t go over very well. It wasn’t one of our greater inspirations,” said Cochran. However, Elisha Cuthbert, who played Kim, claimed this was because “it was never executed the way it was supposed to be.” She was actually bitten by the cougar before filming, leading to a hospital visit and the show splicing together footage of the cougar and Cuthbert. “If you look back and watch the episode, you can see that we’re never in the same frame. It was, cut to the cat, cut back to me.” The cougar was actually meant to be more of an obstacle and potentially attack Kim, but it seems they wanted to avoid putting Cuthbert with an animal that had bitten her. This made the scene even sillier — the cougar shows up, stares, and then in the next scene, it’s gone.
“It kind of came across like, what is this? This is sort of insignificant and kind of stupid,” Cuthbert said. Innis Casey, who played Kim’s boyfriend at the time, agreed: “Why did they even put that in there? It didn’t seem really significant.”
16.
The ending of Game of Thrones was, for many fans, one of the most disappointing show endings of all time. The show’s co-creators, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, were aware of the backlash, but ultimately said they had decided to go “cold turkey” on internet commentary. “You always hope everyone’s going to love anything you do, and it would’ve been great if 100 percent of people loved it, but they didn’t,” said Benioff. “You can get so bogged down in public opinion that you spend your whole life googling things and trying to find people who felt one way or the other way.”
Initially, cast members defended the show. However, in the years since, some stars have been a little more open about their frustration. Emilia Clarke, who played Daenerys — the dragon-riding queen who suffered a very rushed moral decline in the final season — initially said she was “flabbergasted” at the character’s fate, crying as soon as she read the script and saying, “It comes out of fucking nowhere.” However, she was tactful in not criticizing the storyline and explained her character’s decision and why it was made.
Later, however, she acknowledged the final season, and how Dany’s descent may have been a bit rushed, saying, “We could have spun it out for a little longer.” She also said she was a bit annoyed that the character Jon Snow faced no consequences for killing her. “He got away with murder—literally,” she pointed out.
17.
Kit Harington, who played Jon Snow, initially was admittedly “defiant” to criticism. “I think no matter what anyone thinks about this season — and I don’t mean to sound mean about critics here — but whatever critic spends half an hour writing about this season and makes their [negative] judgement on it, in my head they can go fuck themselves. ‘Cause I know how much work was put into this. I know how much people cared about this,” he said. “Now if people feel let down by it, I don’t give a fuck — because everyone tried their hardest.”
Later, however, he appeared to change his tune. He told British GQ, “I think if there was any fault with the end of Thrones, is that we were all so fucking tired, we couldn’t have gone on longer. And so I understand some people thought it was rushed and I might agree with them. But I’m not sure there was any alternative. I look at pictures of me in that final season and I look exhausted. I look spent. I didn’t have another season in me.” He continued by stating people were “entitled to their opinion” and that “there were mistakes made, story-wise, toward the end maybe,” adding, “I think there were some interesting choices that didn’t quite work.”
18.
Conleth Hill agreed that the last season was “a bit rushed” and also had an issue with the last couple of seasons when it came to his character, Varys. “I just felt frustrated with the last couple of series because Varys wasn’t the all-knowing character he had been,” he said.
19.
Isaac Hempstead Wright was slightly shady toward the choice to make his character, Bran, ruler of the Seven Kingdoms (a decision widely hated by fans). “I genuinely thought it was a joke script and that [showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss] sent to everyone a script with their own character [ending] up on the Iron Throne,” he said. “‘Yeah, good one, guys. Oh shit, it’s actually real?'” However, he did say that overall, he was happy with his character’s ending — though he acknowledged that “not everyone will be happy. It’s so difficult to finish a series as popular as this without pissing some people off.”
It seems like other actors were unhappy, too. Sophie Turner said recently that many cast members were dissatisfied with where their characters ended up. “I feel that I was very happy with the way Sansa ended her story in Game of Thrones, and no one else was really happy with their ending,” she said. “I feel like I got a good one.” Turner’s character, Sansa Stark, ended the show as Queen of the North.
20.
It’s inevitable that a finale — especially one with a big reveal — will disappoint some fans, and Gossip Girl was no different. Their reveal of Dan having been Gossip Girl this whole time was widely criticized, largely because it seemed impossible given many factors (including many scenes of Dan reacting to Gossip Girl posts while alone). Penn Badgley, who played Dan, was pretty critical of the decision. “It doesn’t make sense at all. It wouldn’t have made sense for anybody. Gossip Girl doesn’t make sense!” He decided, however, that it made “enough sense,” since his character was a writer.
21.
Another finale that was heavily criticized? How I Met Your Mother, which spent its series finale breaking up Barney and Robin, killing off the Mother, and putting Ted and Robin together. Alyson Hannigan, who played Lily, later had her own criticism of the finale: “I was bummed they didn’t just make it a two-hour season-ender, so they would get to show certain parts,” she said, calling the finale “too quick.” She claimed the table read “was so good,” but also very long. “So when I actually saw the final version of the show, I was like ‘they cut out everything!'”
“Obviously it was a tear-jerker, but with all the stuff that got cut out it was too fast,” she continued. “Like ‘Okay, now we’re going to find out the mom’s dead, then suddenly, okay — he’s with Robin now’, and you’re just like, ‘wait, what happened?!’ There was a funeral scene [that got cut], and all this stuff that I think the audience needed. They needed that time to process that information, instead of having it slap them in the face.”
22.
She also criticized an earlier aspect of the show: “I didn’t think Barney should have ever gotten married,” she said. “I liked Barney and Robin. But in my heart, I always wanted her with Ted. I just feel they [Barney and Robin] shouldn’t have gotten married.”
23.
Series co-creator Carter Bays has a bunch he’d like to change if he could go back. “I won’t go into specifics, but I’ll just say I would love to go into an edit room and go George Lucas on this thing, and remove certain stuff I really wish wasn’t in there and I bet nobody would miss,” he tweeted. What led to this tweet? Well, he was rewatching the show and had just seen an episode where Barney threatens to leak his sex tape with Robin if she doesn’t help another character pick up women, so that may have something to do with it.
24.
He had also previously expressed regret and issued an apology (along with Thomas) for an episode many fans felt was racist, as it involved the gang acting and dressing like Chinese Kung Fu characters in a pretty problematic way.
25.
Ian Harding was critical of his character Ezra’s main storyline on Pretty Little Liars — being a teacher in a relationship with a 16-year-old student. He once called Ezra “America’s most beloved pedophile,” though he said he tried to play it as a love story. When an interviewer asked if he’d ever felt a PLL storyline went too far, Harding joked, “Always,” and said the show “jumped the shark” in Episode 2.
However, there is one specific scene he found extra cringe-worthy. It occurs in Season 5, when the girlfriend and boyfriends of the main characters dress in hot Santa outfits to surprise them. Ezra (who is no longer teaching the others, but still) stands shirtless, in Santa boxers, next to the teenage students he once taught. “I was like, ‘Wait a minute. Why is Ezra Fitz — this grown man — getting half-naked with a bunch of high schoolers?! How is this acceptable? This is completely wrong!'” Harding said.
26.
Glee had many, MANY questionable scenes, but one takes the cake for creator Ryan Murphy…and that’s the Gleeks’ performance of “Gangnam Style.” When asked about the performance he most regretted on Watch What Happens Live, Murphy answered, “I’m mortified that we did ‘Gangsta Style’ by Psy. I will say, like, not our finest moment.” (Murphy was quickly corrected on the name, saying, “I can’t believe I got that wrong.”)
Jenna Ushkowitz, who played Tina Cohen-Chang, later expressed discomfort with the number…in particular, the choice to have her character (one of the very few Asian characters) do the rap. Ushkowitz is Korean, but was raised in the US and does not speak Korean. Appearing on the YouTube show Dating Straight, she made a face when asked about the song — after the interviewers called it “tone deaf” and “pretty bad,” Ushkowitz and costar Kevin McHale agreed.
27.
Ushkowitz and McHale also nominated “What Does the Fox Say” as an uncomfortable performance, with McHale in particular saying it was a “boiling point” for him after he “held out as long” as he was able to in terms of his enthusiasm with the series.
28.
Alexander Siddig was upset with the storyline where his character, Dr. Bashir, is revealed to be genetically modified on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Siddig even actively rebelled against acting “Data-esque,” as the producers wanted him to, messing up lines on purpose until eventually they made changes to the character. Still, it appears the bad blood remains; he distanced himself from the Star Trek universe after the show was over.
29.
Kim’s Convenience star Jean Yoon felt that some of the storylines on the show were “overtly racist.” She says the cast came together to express their concerns, and most of the racist jokes and scenes were taken out. Still, there were glaring inaccuracies in some of the scripts, given the “lack of Asian female, especially Korean writers in the writers’ room.”
For example, there were multiple issues with the portrayal of Korean food on the show, which she had to correct. And when she learned her character Umma was going to be diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, she expressed concern, finding it unrealistic as “Koreans hardly ever get [multiple sclerosis],” adding, “You are 5x more likely to get a blood clot from the AZ vaccine than you are to get MS if you’re Korean.” She said she was asked why it mattered and told she “doesn’t understand comedy.”
30.
Lili Reinhart hated the “Dark Betty” scenes on Riverdale, to the point where she asked the writers to stop including them. She told Teen Vogue, “I think it kind of became a mockery of itself. It was supposed to be this dark side of her that she wasn’t able to express otherwise, and it just became this weird sexual thing that people didn’t really understand.”
31.
Wednesday star Jenna Ortega criticized the love triangle between Tyler, Xavier, and Wednesday in Season 1 of the hit Netflix show. “Her being in a love triangle made no sense,” she told Dax Shepard on his podcast. “Everything that [Wednesday] does, everything that I had to play, does not make sense for her character at all.” She said she ended up “putting her foot down” and changing lines from the script, saying she grew protective of the character and wanted to ensure she had an emotional arc.
32.
Cordelia Chase was a beloved character who successfully made the switch from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to its spinoff, Angel, where her character went through intense character growth and even had a will-they-won’t-they arc with the series lead, Angel. However, Cordelia’s character took a turn in Season 4 in what fans came to see as a slow, painful character assassination that went against everything Cordelia stood for. The show eventually revealed she was under the control of the season’s Big Bad, Jasmine, but not before Cordelia slept with Angel’s teenage son, Connor — perhaps one of the most hated TV characters of all time — and became pregnant with his child (this was ultimately Jasmine herself). And then, to make things worse, they left Chase in an indefinite magical coma.
It’s truly one of the most head-scratching fumbles I can remember a series making, so I was not at all surprised when Charisma Carpenter, who played Chase, accused series creator Joss Whedon of cruel on-set behavior after she became pregnant, leading to her unceremonious firing. In a statement after Whedon was already fielding claims of harassment and misconduct, Carpenter said Whedon had “abused his power” and been “casually cruel.” She detailed how he had threatened to fire her after discovering her pregnancy, attacking her character and mocking her religion, also asking if she was planning to “keep” the baby.
He also allegedly insulted her weight while she was pregnant and said she’d sabotaged the show. The stress of the long, physically demanding hours caused Carpenter to have Braxton Hicks contractions, leading to her doctor telling her to shorten her working hours; this, according to Carpenter, led to Whedon scheduling a 1 a.m. call time in retaliation. She also said all this led to her developing a chronic physical condition and traumatized her. Fans have since theorized whether Cordelia Chase paid the price for Whedon’s alleged anger over Carpenter’s pregnancy, but that’s just speculation. When asked if behind-the-scenes issues regarding her pregnancy affected Cordelia’s fate, Carpenter said, “I would imagine that would be a them question and pretty profoundly.”
Even before the Whedon allegations, it was common knowledge that she and Joss had butted heads during her pregnancy. And in 2019, she noted, “It was just a tough, tough time,” recalling how much it was to put her body through. She also stated that in Season 5, that “the show really suffered, story-wise” after multiple writers left around the time. And when asked about a reboot, she said, “After Season 4 [laughs], whose hands we put things in obviously makes a big difference to me.”
Last year, a fan asked Carpenter on TikTok for her thoughts on “the whole Connor storyline” specifically, stating that they “felt like they did Cordy a little dirty with the possessed pregnancy plot.” Carpenter replied, “You think?” While she said she preferred to do a “deep dive” on her rewatch podcast, she did state, “It was really difficult. … I thought it was so awful and so creepy and predatory of Cordelia.” She said the storyline “just destroyed” her, and that she “was so ardently against it.” An old fan site for Carpenter also transcribes an old interview where she called it “ewwy.”
“Only something deplorable and devilish and truly evil could do something so horrid,” she apparently continued, referencing Cordelia’s possession by Jasmine. (However, I can’t find the original source, so take that with a grain of salt.) Carpenter also previously called the storyline “problematic,” likely given the age gap and the fact that (due to Connor being trapped in an alternate dimension while he grew up, spending years there while only months passed on Earth) Cordelia had taken care of Connor as an infant only a few months earlier.
Carpenter was also sad that Cordelia came back for a single episode in Season 5, only to die. “I would have loved to have seen her not die and on a positive note. And it was just really intense, it just hurt. It just really hurt. There’s no other way to put it.” While fans were also saddened by Chase’s death, her return was well-received and a good send-off for the character.
33.
Speaking of the Buffyverse, the show’s sixth season had multiple problematic and poorly-received storylines. The lead writer at the time, Marti Noxon, has since expressed regret. “There were parts of season six where I feel we went too far. We pushed into some categories that almost felt sadistic and that Buffy was volunteering for things that were beyond just ‘bad choices’ and were almost irresponsible for the character. That may have to do with my own history.”
In particular, she has regrets about killing off Tara, a move widely criticized as the perfect example of the Bury Your Gays trope, where queer characters are killed more often than other characters and have unnecessarily tragic storylines. “I think that killing Tara was — in retrospect, of all the people, did she have to die?” she said.
34.
Amber Benson, who played Tara, didn’t quite criticize the storyline, but said that it had likely “never occurred” to series creator Joss Whedon that this was damaging, as a “cisgender white man” with “entitlement.” She referred to the move as Joss making a “mistake,” saying, “this was a big, horrible thing, and it was devastating to a lot of people.”
35.
Sarah Michelle Gellar also had issues with Season 6. “I’ve always said that Season 6 was not my favorite,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “I felt it betrayed who she was.” The season notably featured Buffy making questionable choices (including sleeping with Spike) after coming back from the dead.
36.
And finally, we’ll end on one more series ending that an actor was unhappy with. In a full-circle moment, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life ended with Rory telling her mother she was pregnant. Star Alexis Bledel was disappointed with this ending for her character. “I had told [creator] Amy [Sherman-Palladino] that I hoped Rory would end on a high note after all of her hard work,” she said during a Deadline panel. “I wanted to see her succeed and be thriving. So it was a hard thing for me to digest.” However, she ultimately conceded to Sherman-Palladino. “She knew what reaction she was going to get out of the audience. She’s delighted by throwing everyone a curveball. I knew that’s what she wanted and I trusted her.”
