The Following [Fox - Spoilers]

JP Liz V1 · 12-07-2013 4:29pm

Natalie Zea is to return to The Following after striking
a last-minute deal, it has been reported.

The Kevin Bacon horror drama
shot two endings to its first season finale, one in which Zea's character Claire
was killed and one in which she survived.

Though the actress and series creator Kevin
Williamson were in favour of the character dying, Fox executives insisted on her
survival, TV Guide claims.

"My concern, and Kevin Williamson's concern, was
always, is there more story to tell with Claire? And we both discovered that
maybe there wasn't," Zea said.

However, following last-minutes changes,
Zea will appear in The Following's second season - though the length of her
stint is yet to be confirmed.

"I feel like what would need to happen [for
Claire to continue] would be a change to her DNA," Zea continued. "In other
words, she might have to break bad a little bit."

The former Justified
star recently signed up for a role on hit new CBS drama Under the
Dome.

The Following will return to Fox in the US and Sky Atlantic in the
UK in 2014.

Season 2 casting

Neeson · 16-07-2013 2:29am

I was disappointed that Bacon didn't put yer man in the coffin and bury him alive instead of just shooting him.

I am evil.

squonk · 16-07-2013 10:24am

Some bad casting news there! Why this show is allowed go on is entirely beyond me!

Neeson · 16-07-2013 2:32pm

I'll still look at it anyway. Looked at the first series in a few weeks. Might watch the new one week by week but I wouldn't be on the edge wondering what's going to happen next if I do that anyway. It's a good way to pass 40 minutes though!

Agent Coulson · 20-01-2014 10:47am

Back with a creepy bang.

JP Liz V1 · 20-01-2014 6:37pm

It is back Tuesday on Sky Atlantic

Backstreet Moyes · 20-01-2014 7:49pm

Wasn't a bad episode i will give it a chance. Was half expecting his niece to be in the cult the way the show went last season. Hopefully it's a bit better than last season.

Mr E · 20-01-2014 8:38pm

Enjoyed that a lot. The twins are creepy as hell....

Last season was great, so I'm 100% behind you on that.

So obviously that news was wrong then! What are the twins in? Creepy as heel but I recognise them from some other show. Let's face it, its just a ridiculous show,but can be a laugh to watch.

It's 1 actor, he's in Homeland S3 as

Dana Brody's boyfriend (Season 3 from the psych hospital she's in at the start,

please, no-one spoil S3 Homeland, thanks).

He's also in Dexter's final season as

The kid who Dexter is "training"

.

I think it's not twins actually, I just think it's a ham fisted way of showing that the character is bi-polar or has schizophrenia. I mean "Mark" and "Luke".

The masks were creepy, and I actually thought the same as above, the niece is a cultist imo.

Good while since I've seen the episode with the twins, but they were definitely separate people afaik?

what? They are new characters in the first episode of Season 2.

What are you talking about?

Ahhh sorry didn't realise it had started back, dunno why, but I was thinking of twins from a different show, apologies!

calex71 · 21-01-2014 2:51pm

Ok opener but far from great, should have maybe been a double episode so we got a bit more from it?

Just really hard to know what route it's going to take, I got the impression that maybe Joe ain't going to be the focus this time, with Bacon keeping his stuff to himself and working on his own , maybe he and Joe team up to take out these new young pretenders

Unlikely ...... but I wouldn't be overly surprised if it did go that route at least for a while.

Agent Coulson · 28-01-2014 11:35am

I think Joe is not the only one with his own cult now. I'm thinking Ryan might have his own now.

Lovely Bloke · 28-01-2014 11:53am

was it not on this week?

Ah, thought it was on Sundays.

Well I saw everything that was going to happen in this episode well before it happened.

It moved thing on but it's starting to become very repetitive now.

It's not hard to know what's going to happen when 9 out of every 10 new character get's close to Ryan and is in the cult.

krustydoyle · 05-02-2014 9:33pm

Looks like its been set up for a Ryan vs Joe (+ his new ready made cult members) onslaught.

JP Liz V1 · 09-02-2014 9:42pm

I wonder could Joe be the twins daddy

beakerjoe · 24-02-2014 6:48pm

I have to say I like the guy who plays the twins. Sam Underwood is brilliantly cast and displays a great range in playing the duel roles.

Mr E · 24-02-2014 7:17pm

I'm calling it now - Mark and Luke we've met, but I have a feeling that we will soon meet Matthew and John (quadruplets).

smuckers · 25-02-2014 11:00pm

Season 2 has been excellent so far, much more twisted and darker than S1

Its a lot less farcical than Season 1, though I enjoyed season 1, the use of logic was absurb. This season is by no means great either in terms of logic but its a lot more realistic and plausable.

Im enjoying it anyway, 5 episodes in.

Also

Joe Carroll bears a resemblance to WWEs Bray Wyatt character at the start of season 2
