  07:40 - Jane The Virgin - Post Season 1 Final Interview
  
  DEADLINE: Honestly, you had to have the baby stolen by Sin Rostro that early – we couldn’t even enjoy the moment?
  
  SNYDER URMAN: That was the clip that we were building to from when we began this show. There’s a specific reason that she is taking the baby. We’ll find out what it is right when we come back in Season 2 because we pick up pretty continuous. You find out what she wants and what it will take to get the baby back.
  
  DEADLINE: Why did you decide to have Season 2 begin right after Season 1? A lot of shows put a little bit of distance between their seasons.
  
  SNYDER URMAN: Well, for me the birth of the baby was so emotional, and the taking away of the baby is really dramatic. So I felt like you can’t skip over that moment in storytelling about how Jane finds out, what happens and the steps that they need to take in order to get the baby back. It seems too huge for our heroine to not actually explore.

  Bates Motel - Season Finale - Creators Discusses Cliffhanger & Death With Hollywood Reporter
  

  Was the plan to always bring Bradley back just to kill her?
  
  [Co-showrunner] Kerry Ehrin and I always planned to bring her back. Our schedule of using her was interrupted because she went off to star in the Transformers movie with Mark Wahlberg, and we really did want to give her that opportunity. At the same time, we didn’t feel like our story with her was finished. The more we talked about the evolution of the story, the more it felt like the end of the season was this big turning point for Norman, and Norman losing the ability to discern when he was in one personality or the other. We also wanted there to be a seismic event. Bradley was the perfect person to catalyze that step-up in behavior because she was the first woman besides his mother that Norman had deep feelings for. Bradley sort of felt the same way. So when she puts Norman in this incredibly difficult emotional situation where she wants him to run away with her, that sort of fries his circuitry.
  
  Was it important to not showcase Norman as an actual killer yet?
  
  We felt it was really important, that decision to not graphically show Norman creating the murder. In his mind, it’s his mother doing the crime, so it felt really appropriate to figure out how to best illustrate that in the storytelling. We didn’t want to show Norman committing a crime. We felt like by doing that in some ways we were preserving the audience’s empathy for the character. There still is a really good Norman inside the same body as the bad Norman. We wanted to be sure that was dramatically illustrated.

  TVLINE | So, is Normal full-on Psycho now?
  EHRINS | Yes, in the sense that anyone who has that [mental] disorder goes in and out of it. But he’s as deep into it as we’ve seen him.
  
  TVLINE | Safe to say Season 4 will feature a lot more cross-dressing?
  EHRINS | Yes.

  07:15 - Cristela - Lead Actress Responds To Her Shows Cancellation
  
  I was walking back to my hotel room Thursday night after my stand-up show in Fort Lauderdale when I saw the call. I knew it was bad news before I answered it because I had gotten a text from my Executive Producer that said, “Call me when you get this.” If it had been good news, she would’ve started mentioning it in the text. Since I was raised as a good old-fashioned Catholic, I braced for the worst. And that’s what I got.
  
  When I heard the words “we’ve been canceled”, I can’t tell you how I felt. I was kinda sad, angry and other things. Since the show was named after me, the first thing I thought about was how I let the cast and crew down. They were out of jobs. I thought to myself, “I should’ve done more to promote the show. I could’ve done more.”
  
  I hung up the phone, went to have a beer and my phone started lighting up with texts. I answered as many as I could. Some I still haven’t gotten to. I found myself sounding like a politician, saying the same thing to everyone: “Thank you so much. I’m doing ok. I’m doing fine.”
