Because cancer and death have touched everyone, I hope we dealt with it in a way that rings true to people, and that feels good for them to watch." "It was physically and emotionally exhausting. It ended up being challenging but also a special experience. "I lost an aunt I was very close to when I was 24, and knowing that this part of the storyline was coming, there was a part of me that was wondering what this was going to feel like to shoot. "It was a really powerful experience," Chalke told Forbes of her final scenes. The final emotional kicker, however, was when Johnny handed a grieving Tully a box containing a few special mementoes from Kate after her death, including her finished book… titled Firefly Lane. If that wasn't heartbreaking enough, we get a touching flashforward scene of Marah on her wedding day and of Tully envisaging a conversation with her dead best friend over how proud they are of her. When Tully learns of the news, she rushes back home to Kate's side and gives her old friend the support she needs before she passes away. I believed that Kate and Johnny loved each other from the beginning, so I was really glad that as much as they changed it, they really kept the heart of the novel and the message." As a viewer, I truly believed that these two women loved each other and that they would be there for each other forever. "I like the idea that it’s going to unfold for them and they’ll still be guessing – and they’ll get to have that fresh experience with it." "I think what’s cool is that: we changed just enough, so that readers who are watching the show – who haven’t seen it all – don’t know how it’s going to end because we’ve changed just enough," Friedman said (Via Tudum). Which isn't to say the show didn't feature changes to the source material. Note: MAJOR Firefly Lane book spoilers follow.īecause the series is based on Kristin Hannah's novel of the same name, Kate’s terminal cancer diagnosis panned out on screen exactly as it did on page. There’s no denying that more time in Tully and Kate’s world could never be a bad thing, but there's actually a good reason behind this decision. Part two definitely had a wholesome, wrapped-up kind of feel despite the bittersweetness of it all. While it hurts, it’s not all too shocking. We know, we know, take a minute to let the pain of that realisation sink in. There won’t be another season to obsess over. However if you’re already here, scouting for the vain hope of a season three, that means you’ve already made it through and, sorry keen beans, that’s it from the dance-partying duo. The good news is you can now catch up with the remaining seven episodes of Firefly Lane, which reveal what this diagnosis meant for Kate and whether she and Tully ever repaired their friendship. And by upset we mean red-hot furious.Īlas, part one left us on yet another (even more devastating) cliffhanger, concluding with Kate turning up at Tully's apartment after learning that she'd been diagnosed with breast cancer, only to discover that Tully had just left for a work trip in Antarctica. To be fair (and her intoxication aside), the crash wasn't actually Tully's fault, though Kate's upset is completely understandable.
