That being said, there’s a big struggle with trying to keep the program afloat and then as a result, new conflicts arise in the season finale… it’s pretty exciting. Nanrisa Lee: Well, without giving away too much, I think we still have some loose ends going on that we’ve been struggling with over the course of the season, our recent collaboration with Janice being one of them, and also trying to stay one step ahead of Martinez, aka Leaper X, aka maybe Evil Leaper (some people may refer to him as) … and those things kind of come to a head definitely in our season finale. Time messes with you back.Ĭan you tease what fans can expect for the rest of the season from your characters? I think the season finale really kicks in the next evolution, but it also clarifies some of the mystery that we’ve been playing with.ĭP: Once you mess with time, stuff happens. But in that clarification, other complications and other reasons for moving forward become very exciting. Let me put it that way.Įrnie Hudson: Yeah, the reasons how we got to here, that’s sort of clarified. What can fans look forward to as far as the season finale goes?ĭeborah Pratt: Oh my god, it’s so good, you have to watch it! Need I say more? I think if you’ve been following the show, the setups are all paid off. SYFY WIRE What are Evil Leapers on 'Quantum Leap'? It’s fun for us to just keep all our senses attuned to what’s happening. Like when we start an episode, what’s on the page doesn’t exactly end up being what’s being done in the scenes … The first time I heard the word “romp” was Episode 4, and was like, ‘This is a romp.’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t know what that means, we’re just doing the scene.’ And then I watched the episode, and I’m like, ‘That’s a romp.’ So it’s fun to be able to figure out what it is on the days too, because your guest actors play such a big part in each episode, they get huge arcs, and they really inform the tone of the piece too. Yes we can go off and be improvisational for a while, but we’re eventually going to come back around and you’re gonna be like, “Oh, so that’s how that ties in.” I think that’s just what happens because that’s what’s so great about what Deborah and Don originally created: a very basic set of rules. I feel like that’s our own little mark.ĭG: Look, the further you go telling Quantum Leap stories, they naturally start to drift more towards one another, like we start to feel more like the original show. And I love that we get to use these reference points to get an idea of what we’re trying to create, just the tone that we’re all trying to achieve, and it’s just endless amounts of fun knowing there are shows within shows, and I love that. Raymond Lee: That’s one of my favorite things about the show too, it’s a different genre every episode, and we’re always paying homage to something that came before us. The leap will always be the leap, it’s the gold of the show … the present day is really the fun for us, because I think there’s so many questions you can ask, and there’s so many ways to play a Quantum Leap show it doesn’t have to be a thriller, it can be a romance, it can be a drama, it can be a comedy. That’s what we’re talking about as a room now. As we move forward, and as we put one chapter of the present day story to bed, what we get to do in Season 2 is decide what do we want the present day chapter to be, and maybe there’s a way the present day chapter might feel more organic to fans of the original show, maybe there are things we can explore. As we head into the finale and into the next season, how will the show continue to honor the original series while also paving its way forward?ĭean Georgaris: Deborah is part of the family, she talks to the writers, she’s on the set all the time, and she’s always there to remind us of the core of the original Quantum Leap: the hope, the history, the heart, and the humanity.
