Nestor Carbonell talks about the series finale & his episode
That final scene with Richard and Isabella is one of the most devastatingly beautiful moments we’ve ever seen on Lost. Is there any chance they could somehow end up together?
Without giving too much away, I can tell you that as soon as I read that script I was certainly wanting some resolution. And I think there will be some element of resolution for Richard. I can’t say whether or not he has a chance at Isabella, but I just read the season finale and there has been some resolution for my character in a great way. The writers, yet again, just knocked it out of the park with the series finale. You’ll see it as the season progresses, what they’ve come up with is pretty mind-blowing. I’m definitely very fulfilled not just about my character but with the whole show in general. It’s an incredible task and they blew me away with what they come up with.
What can you tell us about the finale?
I got the script late, it was like 10 something at night, and usually I go to bed fairly early because you’ve got to put the kids, but no, I was up at 12:30, pouring through it, reading pieces of it again. There’s a lot of tight security as far as scripts-we all have to be there when they’re delivered, but I was really, really, thrilled to get it, and again, just blown away with what they wrote. I’m anxious for people to see it and we’re in the process of shooting it now.
There’s going to be major heartbreak, there’s going to be some very emotional stuff coming down the pike. But the emotional stuff, the payoff will be great. When you see it, and as I read it, it made complete sense what they were doing, and they’re doing it in such a beautiful way, what it needs to be. And again, without giving away too much, I think people will be fulfilled even as they may be crying.
