what are we doing in the shade may be over for goodBut his castmates will always have the memories — and some memorabilia They took from the set.
“I took a lot” Harvey Gillenwho played Guillermo, told exclusively Us Weekly Towards the series finale on Monday, December 16. “I took a lot of (Guillermo’s) sweaters. … I’m a big collector of things, and I collected some of the lamps that were in Nandor’s room that are now in my guest house, which fit the atmosphere. For me it was the perfect match.”
Mark Prokashwho starred as energy vampire Colin Robinson, said he occasionally kept things he thought fans might want down the line or could donate to charity. But he also kept a few things for himself, including the locket – with a picture of Vanessa BayerEvie’s character – who appears in the finale. (Colin briefly dated Evie, an energy vampire, in Season 1.)
“I ended up giving Vanessa this pendant,” said Prokash, 46 usJokes that most of the vampires’ decor doesn’t quite fit in with the aesthetics of his home. “Stuffed beavers and vampire pictures don’t really fit what’s happening to me.”
Kevin Novakwho played Nandor, took the portrait of his character home, in the process Kristen askedaka the guide, kept Guillermo’s frog and the portrait of Paul Reuben which appeared in season 1 when the late actor appeared on the show.
While the fans are devastated by it WWDITS It’s over for good, the cast is happy with how the finale wrapped things up. (The documentary crew stopped filming the vampire squad, but Nandor and Guillermo agreed to continue working together as crime fighters.)
“I think it’s a great way to wrap up all the stories of these characters. And something fun for the audience to watch,” said Guillen, 34. “It was a perfect ending to a perfect series.”
Prokash agreed, noting that he thought it was an ideal time to end the show. “The danger you can fall into is keeping a show longer than life, keeping it on life support,” he explained. “It’s a show where we all have fun working together. The scripts are really funny. You can get complacent and overstay your welcome just because you enjoy all these other things, so I think ending it after 6 seasons is a perfect place to end it while it’s still making people laugh “.
Some fans are still holding out hope that the gang will return in a movie, a la entourage or sex and the cityBut the cast is split if that should happen (and Prokash noted that there was already a what are we doing in the shade movie in 2014, which inspired the show).
Novak, 46, said the chances of another movie happening are “slim to none,” but Schaal, also 46, thinks positively. “There will definitely be a movie. You heard it here first!” she told us.
Guilan, for his part, would also like to be in the film – just not right away. “We can certainly revisit these characters in a few years and see what they do,” he said. “I’m in on it.”
However, one thing Nandor and Guillermo will not be able to do have a romantic relationship. The finale finally crushed the dreams of those fans who were hoping the two would share a kiss before the series ended. Once again, the cast is split on how these two feel about each other, with Shall saying she wants to see the pair bounce and Guillen voicing support for the more platonic way things ended.
“At the end of the day, they’re done together,” he said of the ending, which showed Guillermo and Nandor descending into the depths of Nandor’s new coffin. “We must normalize having a relationship with same-sex friends that is not sexual and normalize the fact that you can be friends and love as a man to another man, and in general love them and want to be in their lives and take care of them, and want to wish them well, and not in a romantic sense. And that’s fine.”
Gillen noted that even though the kiss never came, fans got exactly what they wanted: Nandor and Guillermo riding off into the sunset.
“I’m the first to say yes to queer love,” Guillen added. “But I think their love is there. They ended up together. You got what you wanted! They ended up together in the closet, literally in the closet together, plummeting down into a secret lair. Like, in the end they were partners. If you really love someone, it’s not what That you want? It’s just that they have them in your life every day, and that’s it. They’re done together, and I’m happy with the way things turned out.”
