Michaela Conlin teases "The Feet On The Beach", prompting radical honestly, and an upcoming surprise
So what’s on tap for the rest of the season? To get the scoop, Give Me My Remote went to BONES star Michaela Conlin (Angela) to talk about “The Feet on the Beach,” Radical Honesty, an upcoming surprise, whether she thinks Booth and Brennan should get together this season and more…
How is Angela handling the not-so-good health news she and Hodgins received about their baby?
Michaela Conlin: Well, it’s interesting because we’ve had kind of a discombobulated season at the end here because of the spinoff episode. We ended up shooting [episodes] concurrently and a little bit out of order. We definitely deal with this topic again, but there’s also something else that comes up prior to them having the baby. So it should be an interesting end of the season for the two of them.
Something besides the baby?
MC: It deals with the baby, for sure. But yeah, it is dealing with the baby. It’s just a different kind of scare.
Uh oh. You know as soon as you say the word “scare,” fans will think the worst is going to happen. There’s a sniper out there on the loose!
MC: Oh no! That’s horrible. I hope that’s not what they think!
Well, if you say there’s a different kind of scare with the baby…
MC: Maybe I’m really getting good at teasing you, Marisa. I don’t know. Is the sniper going to be back this season?
He’s coming back in episode 22.
MC: Well, I’m done talking. [Laughs] No, I don’t have any idea if that’s going to happen. If I knew that, I wouldn’t tell you! [Laughs]
Do you know if it’s a health scare or some other issue?
MC: It’s just regarding the baby. It doesn’t mean it’s a bad scare. It could be a good scare. A scare could be good or bad…I guess.
A good scare?
MC: A surprise. A surprise is a more positive word. I don’t want to worry anyone, that’s not what I want to do.
Well, maybe it’s some sort of TV miracle twins, where they’re like, “Oops, we missed one in there!” I think that’s the only good scare I can think of.
MC: [Laughs] Well, that [pregnancy] suit is pretty big, I will say that.
That would be an, um, interesting twist.
MC: Yeah, it would be.
So looking forward to what’s to come, are you going to be a bigger part of the upcoming episodes?
MC: Now I know that 21, 22 and 23, we are [heavily in them]. I can’t really recall 18, 19, 20, probably because I’ve done over 100 of these.
There’s the episode set at the body farm coming up…
MC: Oh, I definitely have some stuff coming up in the body farm episode, with the podiatrist that visits us.
Yeah?
MC: There’s a visiting doctor that comes in to help us with that [case], so Angela has some fun scenes with him. He knows quite a lot about feet, that’s all that I can say. [Laughs]
Oh, Angela is going to have a field day with that. And how about next week’s episode “The Truth in the Myth,” which John Francis Daley (Sweets) co-wrote?
MC: How cool is that? We were giving him a hard time on set. “Is the writer here? Because I don’t understand this line.” I’m so proud of him and it’s a great episode. We debunk some mythical creatures in it and it’s a lot of fun. I like that episode a lot.
That’s really good to hear. I know they swapped the next three episodes around from filming order, but did you debut your latest faux-baby bump during one of them? Last time the episodes unexpectedly got switched, we got the bump one week, no bump the next and then it returned back to the bump the third week.
MC: What episode did I move to the big one? I don’t even know which episode it was. I don’t know, honestly, I’m sorry! But I’m in it by episode 20. It is big.
Well, episode 20 is a good episode to remember, because the team will be dealing with the Radical Honesty culture in that hour. Is Angela prompting any honest confessions out of anyone?
MC: Yes. She is. Good question! Yes, Angela is pumping some radical honesty out of someone. Yes. [Laughs] She always is, on a certain level, pumping honesty out of someone. But yes, she is for sure in this episode.
And is this the Angela-and-Brennan-talk-about-Booth scene?
MC: I’m not gonna say. I am not gonna say.
I’m thinking I should take that as a “yes.”
MC: You can take as what you want, but Angela does pump it out of one character, yes.
Fair enough. You know, fans have been really vocal about where they stand on Booth and Brennan’s relationship. But do you as someone who is involved with the show feel like they should get together by the end of the season?
MC: At the end of this season? [Pause] I don’t know about the end of this season. It’s hard to say. I think emotionally they really have gotten close this season, especially with Brennan dealing with Hannah in many ways. That fact that she proved she was able to deal with that, that he could let her in afterwards. I definitely want to see them together, I’m not sure if I would want to see them together at the end of this season. Soon. I’d love to see them together soon. Yeah. That’s a tough one. In some respects, yes. I don’t know. I would hope soon rather than later. I feel like they’re moving in the right direction.
