The blacklist season 5 cast full#

TVLINE | LetвЂ™s talk about the scene where Red is speaking with that unnamed stranger on the bench. The theories never really drive anything. ThatвЂ™s part of whatвЂ™s engaged them in the question of his real identity.Д«OKENKAMP | The storytelling is never reactive to what we see online. Not kind of vague suggestions - real, concrete footholds for the audience that has allowed them to feel like weвЂ™re not stalling, weвЂ™re not giving them lies or half-truths. ThatвЂ™s part of why, every year, weвЂ™ve been able to give genuine, legitimate answers that the audience has been able to enjoy. We had an idea of what the story was from the beginning, and we havenвЂ™t really veered from it at all. JOHN EISENDRATH | I would say, as someone who does not look very much at what people say online about the show - your question was if weвЂ™re telling the story in response in any way to what the theories are, and I honestly think the answer is no. There are a lot of them, far more unusual than that. So yes, that is one that we have heard, and I know itвЂ™s out there. Whatever your theory or whatever your camp is, you can probably turn the story a few degrees and make your theory make sense. ThatвЂ™s one of the things thatвЂ™s so fun about the show. In the writersвЂ™ room, our script coordinator, Sam - for a long time - has put up The Strangest Thing You Can Find About The Blacklist every day, just the theories that are out there. I take great joy in knowing the answer and seeing all the theories that are out there. How much awareness have you guys had about that theory this season, or in seasons past? Did you want to drop some clues that the theory might be true, before revealing that Katarina is really alive?Д«OKENKAMP | I love reading all of the fan stuff, the theories and whatвЂ™s on Twitter. TVLINE | One of the leading theories that IвЂ™ve seen from readers - which perhaps youвЂ™ve seen from fans, as well - is the suspicion that RedвЂ™s real identity is Katarina Rostova, and heвЂ™s been LizвЂ™s mother this whole time. She embodies that enigma, and looking ahead, thatвЂ™s going to be a big part of what we want to talk about in Season 7. Laila Robins is a great embodiment of both the danger and the specter and the formidability. The specter of Katarina snapping into focus is a satisfying ending to the season, I hope, because itвЂ™s the introduction of the present-day version of Katarina Rostova.

We saw that she walked out of the water, and weвЂ™d been setting up the idea that sheвЂ™s out there.

ThereвЂ™s more questions about Katarina Rostova, and hopefully we answered in a satisfying way in Episode 19, where we really told a full hour about who this woman was and why what weвЂ™ve been led to believe - that she had killed herself - was not true. ItвЂ™s been something weвЂ™ve been platforming all season. JON BOKENKAMP | If you look back at the season, itвЂ™s probably more obvious where we were going. TVLINE | How long had you been planning to bring Katarina back into the mix as a present-day character? Was this something you had in mind all season long, or perhaps earlier?

Liz, meanwhile, finally welcomed daughter Agnes home - blissfully unaware, of course, of the ill-fated reunion that Red was about to have with her own mother.Д«elow, executive producers Jon Bokenkamp and John Eisendrath break down the finaleвЂ™s Katarina cliffhanger (and what it means for Season 7), as well as those unresolved questions about who Red truly is. In the end, the plan was intercepted: President Diaz resigned (and will be formally investigated by the FBI in the months ahead), his wife survived, and Anna McMahon was killed at the hands of Dembe, who returned to RedвЂ™s life (yay!) at the best possible time. His wife had wanted him to come clean about the incident during the next presidential debate, but he intended to have her killed at the event instead. During a vacation weekend at his lake house a few years back, President Diaz got very drunk and accidentally killed two people. A car then pulled up next to Katarina, some men got out and pulled RedвЂ™s limp body into the vehicle, and they drove off.Д®lsewhere in the hour, the task force finally foiled Anna McMahonвЂ™s plan, which was to have President DiazвЂ™s wife assassinated, seeing as the First Lady was about to go public with some damning evidence about POTUS. Red knew that meeting with Katarina wasnвЂ™t safe, and he told her as much, but they greeted each other with a passionate kiss anyway - that is, until Katarina stabbed Red with a syringe (!), rendering him unconscious within moments.
