I had a lump in my throat, too. Eddie and I were talking before we did it, and even when the script came out. Eddie said, “I think we are going to have our moment. We are going to have a moment!” This is the last show and we were going to have our moment, and the same with Hillary. It did feel like our goodbyes were very real, and especially walking out and being able to turn around, and just when you think it’s over and then Bo to say, “I love you, Red,” and that’s it. The last words out of your mouth, and there was a lot of history there. It was nice way to end. We shot an alternate ending in case the show was going to the internet, and if I was not going to stay with the show. MICHAEL: Oh, my God! What was the alternate ending for Bo? ROBERT: I went out the door and a guy was there with a gloved hand and dressed in black. There is a hand over my face, and Bo is about to fight and then he realizes, “Oh, it’s you guys.” And then he gets taken away and out for some clandestine thing from the old days. It would have kept it going, but the way it worked out it just ended with a moment of Bo and Nora looking at each other with nothing planned. So much of what we did was like that. It just came right out of the moment, listening to each other, and trusting, and our timing. Hillary and I had that big ten-year gap. I forgot how easy it was to work with her and how well we worked together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 20, 2012 Members Share Posted May 20, 2012 That doesn't sound like it would have been too bad of an alternate ending, but I'm glad it didn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BingCherry Posted May 20, 2012 Members Share Posted May 20, 2012 It would have ended with a cliffhanger of Bo getting kidnapped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted May 20, 2012 Members Share Posted May 20, 2012 But I guess it would have been a "good" kidnapping by an old friend of his? That's my guess, anyway. I'll just pretend it was Gabrielle, alive and well. She didn't realize Bo had just stepped down as Police Commissioner and enlisted his help to reclaim her life and find out Max's address in Argentina .

Members alexisfan07 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Members Share Posted May 20, 2012 Pretty sure it was some old cop friends of his or something recruiting him on some sort of assignment that would've taken off the show indefinitely. Interesting the online OLTL would've likely had HBS but not RSW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 20, 2012 Members Share Posted May 20, 2012 And? This sounds awful with no resolution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted May 20, 2012 Members Share Posted May 20, 2012 That would've been a good cliffhanger if the series was going to continue. There would've been a resolution in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 Awww, Bo. How I've missed you! Considering that the online showing of OLTL didn't pan out, I'm happy that Ron decided to go with the ending that they aired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
