Most of us did not know, says Marquand.
Because again, they wanted to play their cards very close to their chest.
But towards the beginning of shooting this year they told us.
It turns out fans are not the only ones who have been asking the actor for answers.
Even his parents have been angling for clues.
My folks are trying to plug me for information, says Marquand.
Theyre like, So, are you free to come over this month?
Im like, What do you mean?
Like for a few weeks, are you available?
Are you asking if Im dead?
What is going on here?
As for what to expect for the season premiere, Marquand says to expect to be thoroughly depressed.
Weve been really cognizant of the fans emotions, he says.
And its going to be an emotional episode.
So what does Marquand think of the final product?
He doesnt know because he and the cast have yet to see it.
We havent seen it.
Weve never seen it cut together.
We see it the same night everyone else does.
