I remember my first scene back, we had to do a reshoot of the bar scene. I mean, it's a terrible crime, of course, but it's hard not to understand where Lori is coming from.Īnd so it was odd. And I think Kate leading up to that, you can see in Mare, she knows she's making a decision to take someone's son away from them, just like she had lost her son. What's so devastating about it is that you really empathize with Lori in that moment. And so we kind of didn't talk much about it on that night, and we just filmed a bunch of times and knew the stakes. I've known Kate for a long time, and I've always been a fan of hers as an actor. I don't think we had to do it that many times.Īctually, now that I’m remembering, I think one of the times between takes we hugged, which was very helpful and moving, to have that connection with her. And then we tried it, and then we just did it a number of times. It was brutally cold, and we just kind of kept our distance from each other. I think we did that last up on a Friday night. I think we came to it with our own ideas, but knowing the depth of loss that would take place if these two couldn't be in each other's lives anymore. I think month one of filming, because we shot all the seven episodes as one piece. We actually shot that pretty early on, that scene. I guess I wish it was Lori so then her son didn't have to suffer and she didn’t have to suffer the heartbreak of her son's suffering. I was like, "Oh God." I mean it was terrible, terrible that it was her son, but I was sort of relieved that it wasn't her. And then for some reason, it really bummed me out, the idea of if Lori was the killer. NICHOLSON: Yes, I thought that too when I was reading Episode 7, because I had already agreed to do the job. There were certainly vibes of like, "it's very clear that Lori is protective of her family." Did you see on Twitter that a lot of people were kind of thinking you were the top suspect, leading into the finale? Nothing you need to reveal it or give it away, but just for your own choices that you're going to make. And I think Joe, who plays John, and Robbie who plays Billy, I think they were told too, because it's important for them to know what they've been up to. NICHOLSON: Well, I was told early on, so I knew from the beginning. So you were kind of brought in on it whenever it was time to shoot that episode? They were always sort of referencing Episode 7, who had 7, who had read 7, so it was very important to keep the secret as long as we kept. But then before we started filming, I did know where it was going. JULIANNE NICHOLSON: So I can't remember exactly, but I think I read up to Episode 6 before saying, "Yes, I'd love to be a part of it." And I had been told a little bit about Episode 7, but not the facts of who had done it. Nicholson also talked about Lori’s decision to keep baby DJ, and how she also thought Lori might be the killer as she was reading the script for Episode 7.Ĭheck out the full interview below once you’ve had time to process your emotions from that excellent finale.Ĭollider: When did you find out that Ryan was the killer? She also discussed how the COVID shutdown impacted production, and what it was like filming the series out of sequence (they shot one of the big finale scenes in the first month of production). Nicholson and Winslet delivered phenomenal performances in these scenes, so I was thrilled to speak with Nicholson by phone recently about her work in the finale and in the series overall.ĭuring our conversation, Nicholson revealed when she found out Ryan was the killer, and talked about how she and Winslet approached their tense scenes together in the finale. John and his brother Billy ( Robbie Tann) subsequently cleaned up and moving Erin’s body to cover for Ryan, and when Lori was later told that Ryan was the killer in Episode 6, she agreed to keep the truth from her best friend Mare.īut Mare figured it out, and the Mare of Easttown finale saw some dramatic, incredibly emotional confrontations between Mare and Lori over Mare’s decision to take Lori’s son away from her. Having discovered his father was the real father of Erin’s baby and wanting to keep his family intact (especially after what happened the last time his father had an affair), Ryan confronted Erin with a gun in an effort to scare her, but ended up accidentally shooting and killing her. That was true right down to Episode 7, in which it was revealed that Lori ( Julianne Nicholson) and John’s ( Joe Tippett) son Ryan ( Cameron Mann) is the one who killed Erin on that fateful night.
