i really really really like this interview because he was completely frank and honest for example this which is exactly what we have been saying about not so much the lreationship but cat's character development in terms of what their plan was and how they changed it "When we spoke in January, you said that Cat and Vincent needed to earn their relationship. Have they yet? Kern: Unfortunately, when we last spoke, I was still under the impression we were going to air all 22 episodes in a row. I didn't know they'd suspend the last six and had I known that up top, it would've been a whole different design. They just barely got back together again and then we're off the air for two months. So for me, that gap hurts us in terms of trying to show they earned their way back together again. We tried to adjust episodes 17-22 to have them fight for their love and no longer question whether they should or shouldn't be together because that's been answered. The question from 17 going forward is: How do they save their love and get to enjoy what they sacrificed and risked losing to get it back? That journey will continue now into Season 3". or this regarding the season 2 direction though to me it is not just that they are together but how they are together as well "hat have you learned this season that you might change going forward? Kern: It's a different mandate going into Season 3. The mandate going into Season 2 was that the network wanted to do everything to expand and reach out to broader audience. That success was checkered and the audience that continued to watch, thank God, stayed with the show every episode. So, going into the third season, what I've learned ties into what the reality is, which is that people who watch the show are the ones who need to be honored, and if we can reach out to broader audiences, fantastic, but the focus is what the loyal audience likes best and that's Vincent and Catherine."£ also lets cut him some slack cause he was as it seems specifically expected by the netowrk to "broaden" the audience anyway i liked his honesty in the interview I thought too that Cats lack of development and the full potential of vincat earning their loce was cut short, smooshed together Bc of the hiatus and they didn't really know if they were coming back. They wrote the show that way Bc they were so unsure of a season 3 and the wanted to ultimately give us fans what we want which is vincat together

I enjoyed reading the BK interview.
It goes partly to explain why they went the way they did in Season 2. Seems he was given a plan he had to follow. Don't think TPTB had any clue as to why the show worked in Season 1.
I still don't get why having an unexpected hiatus changed things...
IMHO at some point they must have realised that what they were doing wasn't working! and they weren't drawing more viewers but were in fact in danger of losing the loyal fanbase that remained.
Glad he acknowledged that Vincent and Catherine's lovestory is the draw... that's why i watch the show.
Looking forward to season 3 even more now. But still very excited about Ep 22.........

I am glad that he is more concerned with the loyal audience than attracting new people. That way, they will focus on what we like than planing to attract more people. So I am looking forward to S3 to see how they reward us.

They wrote the show that way Bc they were so unsure of a season 3 and the wanted to ultimately give us fans what we want which is vincat together From what I understand is that ecause of the hiatus he wasn't able to feel that strongly about Vincat earning their love like it would have been if you watched the whole season in a whole. But that he did try to adjust a little in the sense that Vincat dint question whether they should be together or not they just cut that part. They needed to end the storyline at the end of 216 hence everything, if not we probably woldnt have had it this way who knows. Ten way he makes it sonds though is as if he didn't change all that much just a bit.

Reynolds JT TESS CAPTAIN definitely not jt or tess - they are back, we know that they said it in interviews captain, do I care? not really Reynolds - could be and I am sad if that is the case since I love Ted - what if Bob ultimately sacrifices himself for his daughter? i mean he is in jail but u never know...

Behind him is Catherine and Gabe. At first before reading the tweet, I thought it was their end of season party but after the tweet, it seems there is some ball of some sort in the episode.

Reynolds JT TESS CAPTAIN Considering JT & Tess will be back next season, I'm not worried about their fate lol About the Captain, well I like him a lot. I mean I won't be devastated if Gabe kills him, but I think he's good a addition to the show. Now anapi -season3baby :) has a good point about Daddy Reynolds. What if he dies protecting Cat (or even VinCat)? It's probable if you ask me, but I sure hope it won't happen I REALLY REALLY want him back next season, like, REALLY want him back

It's not Cat behind Vincent. The woman has something dark navy on. I think it's a BTS picture of 2x16 (About Last Night)
