That was the first thing we found out so we never had to accept or focus or think about another alternative because he told us really early on he’d try and find a way to make it work in his schedule. How did Ian’s ending, at least for now, compare to what you may have had in mind for how his story ended?įortunately, Noel said he was prepared to come back and do it.

You had a year to prepare for Ian’s ending. It’s completely ridiculous that he turned over on his cartel to end up in a prison cell with Ian, but we got over the absurdity of it because it just seemed like so much fun and the right thing to do. We’re all fans of the show and worry about the characters and this seemed like a great way to get them together. But also we just loved Noel and his portrayal of Mickey. We wanted to make certain we didn’t desert the Ian character and that he would have some protection there. What were you hoping to accomplish with that conclusion for Ian? It’s like you get a sense that he’s going to be OK in jail after all. Mickey makes a surprising return, as Ian’s cellmate. This has been like his high school and college and I completely understand his desire to look around a little.

I’m hopeful that he’ll continue to do more episodes of the show, but I am also sympathetic to the idea that if you start something as a child and it’s been your whole professional life that once you reach your mid- to early 20s, you may want to look around a little bit. He’s now 25 and wanted to get out and see what the world looked like. Cameron started on the show when he was 15 years old and this has been his family - as well as our family. He was negotiating for a new deal and he had expressed he wasn’t sure he wanted to do a new deal.
