“To be honest, there’s a lot of things at the end of Milo. [Ventimiglia] “I was kidnapped years ago,” Moore told Deadline on the red carpet. “So I don’t even remember what it was. We shot some things that I’m glad to see. But I’ve read the script and I’m excited to see someone else work. I think it’s really cool. I just felt that last week was the last, and more of an epilogue, out of my own selfishness, maybe because my character moved on to the final episode.” I think it’s a really great way to put things together in a very satisfying way.”

Series creator Dan Fogelman confirmed that planning for the finale began four years ago, showing that “it’s a long journey to get there.” He said he needed to distance himself from what he did on the show and how he could do his job.

Every time I read the script and read it 5 times, I had such an emotional reaction that I was very nervous about how I would feel after I left the set. But after I got rid of my first tears, it was okay. “We know how to do this, we did 105 episodes. this is good.”

Ventimilia remembers her last few days on Jack, which was exciting as she struggled with Moore on the set of the three crying kids, but felt completely at ease when it was over.
