RJ Decker Cliffhanger: Deaths Loom Large!

The gripping second season finale of RJ Decker left fans on the edge of their seats with a cliffhanger and the possibility of character deaths. Bevin Bru, who portrays Mel, discussed the shocking events, noting that the writer's room is still exploring future plotlines.

Bru expressed her belief that the ABC network's standards would likely prevent any main character from meeting a fatal end. "I don't think they're gonna kill them," she stated, contrasting this with other networks where such outcomes might be more plausible.

Looking ahead to a potential third season, Bru suggested a storyline where characters are kidnapped, creating high stakes but ensuring their safety. She envisioned this scenario leading to a powerful team-up between RJ and Mel, allowing for exploration of their individual and combined coping mechanisms under extreme pressure.

Beyond the immediate threat, Bru also voiced her desire to delve deeper into the characters' backstories. She is particularly interested in discovering the identity of Sofia's father and how this revelation would impact RJ's growing fatherly role. Exploring the histories of Mel, Catherine, and RJ's own family, as seen with his father's appearance, could provide rich narrative material.

Bru further speculated on potential casting for Sofia's father, mentioning Scott Foley and Ramón Rodríguez as exciting possibilities. She also hoped for an expanded episode order in a potential third season, contrasting it with the compressed seven-episode order of season two, which she felt nonetheless elevated the storytelling by demanding tighter pacing and more impactful content.
