“Ultimately I knew that words have power.” — Toni Morrison

The visionary and essential novelist Toni Morrison was born on February 18th, 1931 and died on August 5, 2019. In between, she was a voice of great power and resounding truth, a celebrated writer and editor, a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom and a Nobel Prize winner, a mother of two and a teacher of millions. 

It is her powerful voice that carries us through director Timothy Greenfield-Sanders’ sweeping and intimate documentary Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am. “She is a friend of my mind,” says Morrison in the opening moments, reading from Beloved, her 1987 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. “She gather me, man. The pieces I am. She gather them and give them back to me in all the right order.” Her voice is soft and warm and smooth, the cadence measured and even, inviting us into her extraordinary life. We watch as a pair of hands assembles irregular shards of photographs and patterned paper, a scrapbook portrait built, piece by piece, upon itself. The hands belong to Brooklyn-based Mickalene Thomas, a mixed-media artist whose work often takes shape through painting, collage, photography, and video and draws on culture, history, and themes of sexuality, beauty, and power.

In the opening sequence, Thomas physically gathers pieces of Toni Morrison which include photographs created by Greenfield-Sanders as well as others and arranges them into a shifting video portrait. The opening recalls the style of Morrison’s 1974 nonfiction project The Black Book, “a lavishly illustrated scrapbook spanning three centuries of African-American history, reproducing newspaper clippings, photographs, advertisements, handbills and the like.”

The footage of Thomas’s collage assembly is beautifully buttressed by Kathryn Bostic’s lilting and contemplative jazz score, joined with credits designed by Declan Zimmermann and Perpetual Motion Graphics, and made whole through cuts and rotations by the film’s editor and producer Johanna Giebelhaus. 

It’s an astounding opening, a prelude that takes Morrison’s words literally and continues her work championing Black artists and voices. It also gorgeously sets the stage not just for Morrison to speak candidly but also for her friends and colleagues Hilton Als, Angela Davis, Oprah Winfrey, Fran Lebowitz, and others to share their memories and thoughts. The film goes to great lengths to create a sense of craft, ease and intimacy between subject and viewer and it all begins right here, in the opening titles. 

Director Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and Producer and Editor Johanna Geibelhaus discuss working with Toni Morrison and the challenges of distilling her remarkable life for film.

A discussion with Director TIMOTHY GREENFIELD-SANDERS and Producer and Editor JOHANNA GIEBELHAUS.

Timothy, you had a relationship with Toni Morrison that spanned decades. How did you first meet?

TGS: I first met Toni Morrison 38 years ago, in the winter of 1981, when she came to my East Village studio for a Soho Weekly News cover portrait. She wore a dark suit with a white blouse and smoked a pipe.

Hatewatchers had their tweeting thumbs at the ready on Wednesday as NBC lifted the curtain on Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch Musical. But was this updated production of the 2006 Broadway show really the cringefest that many expected? Let’s investigate.

Sure, the sight of Matthew Morrison in the iconic character’s green skin and thicc physique was a little jarring at first. But if you think about it, aren’t most things he does a little jarring? Some of us are old enough to remember the time he inspired an entire group of high school students to master the art of twerking on Glee. And when he got caught having sex with that sheep on Younger. And… wait, did we already mention Glee? Either way, this was perfectly on-brand for Morrison and we won’t hear another word about it.

That said, we can’t deny that this fourth wall-breaking moment during the musical’s first hour made us supremely uncomfortable:

Oh, there was also this:

As for the rest of the show, it was perfectly fine. Watching Denis O’Hare (American Horror Story) attempt to tone down his inherent intensity as an older version of The Grinch’s beloved hench-dog was a trip, and Booboo Stewart (Julie and the Phantoms) was endearing as always playing O’Hare’s younger counterpart. (But don’t take our word for it. Just ask this tweet.)

The Whos were fun but unmemorable, save for their enviable cotton candy hair and sick dance moves.

For the sake of those watching from home, the show — which was filmed in London’s Troubadour Theatre — probably would have benefited from the chaotic energy of a live broadcast. Or the sound of an audience, at the very least. We get that there’s a global pandemic afoot, but if every awful award show this season has included a virtual audience, you’d think a musical production could get the same treatment.

But maybe we’re just being grinches. What did you think of NBC’s latest musical event? Grade it in our poll below, then drop a comment with your full review.

After the newly elected leader of the Liberal Party Scott Morrison was picked to become Australia’s new prime minister, deposed Malcolm Turnbull noted that he would be leaving politics “not before too long.” Once he resigns, his Sydney mandate would be up for grabs, which could see the ruling coalition lose its one-seat majority in parliament. Morrison emerged victorious in the leadership vote on Friday after a three-way race with former home affairs minister Peter Dutton and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop. Turnbull himself had withdrawn his candidacy after having barely survived the previous leadership challenge on Tuesday.

Jennifer Morrison has spent half of her life in front of the camera. She has spent half of her career on TV. But with her directorial debut Sun Dogs, Morrison is stepping out of both of her comfort zones.

Which is why it’s amazing how easily she settles into her role behind the camera. Sun Dogs (streaming now on Netflix), a cheery and offbeat family drama that follows a naive do-gooder in post-9/11 America, is Morrison’s first feature film, but the former House and Once Upon a Time star has already established a distinct visual identity. It’s a whimsical, zippy aesthetic borrowed from directors like Hal Ashby and Wes Anderson — filmmakers that Morrison says are her biggest influences — which she first tested in her 2015 short film, Warning Labels.

I interviewed Morrison about her directorial debut, how she drew inspiration from Hal Ashby’s classic comedy-drama Being There, and what it’s like being part of a new wave of women poised to take over Hollywood at the height of the #MeToo movement.

How did you get drawn to the story of Sun Dogs?

I was drawn to this script. I felt like they were such great characters and I loved the idea of everyone searching for their purpose in life and I loved the overriding message that sometimes the simplest things can make the biggest difference. It’s not often you see a story told in a way where it has that message but you can go on such fun adventure. So I just felt like I related to all the characters and I loved that message and I could picture that spin-off in my mind, the way I could see it, so I decided to go for it.

You seem to have a strong stylistic eye that’s consistent in your feature film and also the short film you’ve directed, Warning Labels — a sort of cheery, upbeat and sunny style. Was this a directorial choice that just had to do with the story of each of those films, or is this a style you’ll want to maintain in the future?

I don’t know for sure. It’s definitely my taste I definitely grew up loving Hal Ashby films, I loved Being There and Harold and Maude, and then I loved Wes Anderson’s Rushmore and The Graduate. You can sort of see the things that influenced me in the way I visually approached both of those projects. But I also do feel like the visual element to a film should also match the storytelling. There’s definitely been projects that I’ve pitched on and I’ve considered than Sun Dogs that would be drastically different visually just because the story would require them to be drastically different visually. So I’m excited and open about the idea of branching out visually but my personality is still my personality, and my eye is still my eye. So my guess is there’s always going to be a little bit of a throughline in terms of something feeling like a film that I made. But I hope to be malleable enough as a filmmaker to be able to adapt to different genres and different storytelling and make sure that the visuals reflect the storytelling properly.

Speaking of visuals reflecting the storytelling, this movie deals with some timely, uncomfortable issues like the profiling and racism against Muslim citizens or people of color. But the movie remains upbeat and focused on Ned’s story. Was there ever an intention to probe into those issues more?

It’s one of those things that’s obviously very tricky and tonally I wanted to be very, very careful about how we approached all of it. Part of it being set in 2004, we were at a time in America where everybody was so afraid. We were only three years away from 9/11 having happened, and there were a lot of people coming from a perspective of fear but not necessarily realizing that they were hurting someone in their perspective. So I was trying to let the environment be true to that of the time and be as honest to what the characters would have done in that moment. And I wanted to make sure that they were held accountable for the mistakes that they made. So that was something that was very important to me in terms of the storytelling in how everything was pieced together.

Ned is a really interesting character in that regard. He buys into all these jingoistic ideas but because he’s mentally disabled, you really sympathize with him. Was that in the script where he was this sort of naive character who you sympathize with but you want to hold him accountable?

The way I always thought — and Michael Angarano and I spoke about this quite a bit — what was interesting was this was is an opportunity, and this is going back to Being There a little bit: the whole film was built on this idea that this character is incredibly naïve, and the way the world sort of projects meaning onto the way that he interacts with the world. So there was a little bit of Being There inspiration in the sense that, because Ned was a little limited because of this accident that happened at birth he was so innocent that there was nothing malicious in his intent at any moment. An audience would think there’s malicious intent, but he’s really just trying to do his best. Absolutely what I was aiming for was to have the audience on his side and rooting for him to learn and grow from his mistakes.

Ned’s mental illness is never really named except when Bob says he has half a brain in an angry outburst. Was there a reason for keeping it vague?

We were not making a movie that was about mental illness, we were not making a movie that was about how he fell or what the follow-up to that was. We were telling a story that happens to include someone who has an illness. It would have been a much longer movie to try to explain it all and get all the details. Really it was about a young man who happened to be in a situation where he could be as naïve as he is, because of the circumstances. If ultimately we got sidetracked trying to explain the medical side of it, then it becomes a completely different film, you completely lose the story that we’re telling.

It’s tricky and I was very aware tonally that this is a tricky line to walk. I went back over and over again to Being There because it was a film that was able to sustain that for two hours. You never find out what’s wrong with Chauncey Gardner in that film, you never know what the case is. So in order to tell the story that we wanted to tell, which was the idea that people wanted to find purpose in life, and this was a very innocent perspective, we needed to address that there was something wrong, but we didn’t want to make the central storytelling us trying to explain his childhood and what he went through and what that illness was when he was young. It was just: this is a man, and as a young man, he’s dealing with the fact that this is who he truly is and he wants to find his purpose in life.

Comic book writer Grant Morrison has written Justice League, Wonder Woman, Batman, Judge Dredd and much, much more. So it may be surprising that the first Grant Morrison comic to get adapted for television or film is Happy!, which premieres on Syfy this week.

Happy! stars Chris Meloni as Nick Sax, a  grizzled detective who is already a strung out has-been when he almost dies. After the near-death experience, he can see Happy, an animated horse with the voice of Patton Oswalt. Happy is the imaginary friend of a kidnapped girl, so Sax teams up with him to find her.

Following our interview with showrunner Brian Taylor, Morrison spoke with /Film by phone about adapting his short four-issue comic and his many other projects in the TV and comic world. Happy! airs Wednesdays on Syfy.

You’ve written screenplays in the past that never got produced. What got Happy! through the system and on the air?

I’m sure there’s all kinds of factors I have no concept of. I felt that what had happened in the few years, because as you say I’ve pitched a bunch of things, I’ve sold a bunch of scripts and nothing’s been produced, but in the last few years, we’ve seen this explosion of material on television. I think because there’s so much content now that that content is kind of stretching people’s imagination. They’re capable of dealing with a lot more on television. The imagery that people consume is a lot more fantastical and based in the kind of work that I’ve always done, the superhero and comic book stuff. I think it’s just opened up a whole ecological niche of potential. I think people are willing to have material that’s slightly wilder, slightly more out there and slightly more symbolic or allegorical. Honestly, if I was to say anything, I think that’s what’s cracked open the door for me and my stuff.

Was Christmas always part of the comic?

Yeah, it started out as an idea to do specifically a Christmas story. I wanted to do something that was in the tradition of It’s a Wonderful Life and even more specifically, Dickens. I love the idea of updating Dickens’ fuming metropolis of London in the late Victorian era to New York, which seemed like an enormously contemporary version of that, a great city where all these stories can play. So Christmas Carol was a big influence on it. It was always intended to be a specifically Christmas story, at least for this first season.

Did you publish the comic at Christmastime too?

Yeah, we did but because our artist, Darick Robertson, was very slow and meticulous, I think our final issue came out probably sometime in June so everyone had forgotten it was Christmas. It started at Christmastime.

What were some of your ideas for expanding the four issues of Happy! into seven episodes?

Obviously, the four issues was quite a short story. Again, it was pretty much based around the fact that Darick only had space in his schedule to do four. So I’d always felt that there was more story to be told. I really particularly liked spending time with these characters. When this opportunity came up, it was a way to suddenly add a lot of those elements in again. There’s a much bigger mythology that comes in. We’ve been able to add a lot of new characters and again, going back to the Dickens model, we tried to, if we have a new character, there’s always something that you could test about them. There’s always some heightened or slightly unusual aspect to them. So yeah, we just populated it with new characters. We specifically created a wider mythology so that each new episode can reveal a little bit more about the scale and the scope of the world.

Were there any ideas you’d wished you’d done in the comics that you now got to do on the show?

No, I see them as different things. I think a story is always malleable so for me the comic story was done and dusted. It’s quite different in its humor to what we’ve created for television. The television version for me now is where all the ideas are and where I think they would work best.

Did you ever wish you’d left the comic more open ended to do more?

Again, not at all. As you know, we know what happens at the end of the comic to the lead characters, but no. Again, if there’s a tale that we told, it could be the tale of Robin Hood, it could be the tale of King Arthur. There’s always another way to tell that story. There’s always a new angle. As I say, I think the comic book stands on its own for what it is. It’s still out there and hopefully more people will read it when they see the show but the show is very much bigger and richer and more exciting to me right now.

I’ve seen the first two episodes. What crazy things are coming up on Happy!?

Well, I think what I’m really excited to see is when people get into episodes three and four. Obviously, episodes one and two set up the world as very anarchic and crazy and fast moving. When we get to episode three, it goes a lot deeper and we start to understand a bit more about these characters and how they got to where they were. By the time we get into episode four, there’s a mystical door that opens. There’s things that I think viewers just will not expect to see. We start to basically open more doors in the world. I think anyone’s assumptions from the first two will be challenged and upturned by three and four. We’ve tried to keep it up through the whole series so that the tone changes quite a lot through it. We see the characters from very different angles. We see the story from different lenses and I think that’s what I’m most excited about, to see people’s response when they think they know what they’re watching and they start to see where it goes.

Brian said episode seven was the big one so I’m glad to hear big things happen in episodes three and four too.

Oh yeah, and Brian’s right because we did keep trying to push it into new places. We thought that’s the way to keep it dynamic, the way to keep people on their toes was to keep going to new places and surprise the audience.

Was Crank already an influence before you ever collaborated with Brian?

Yeah, I love Crank, specifically Crank II. That was my favorite. Crank II was like Crank I done even better. So Crank II is way up there and one of my top 10 movies. It was definitely an influence. I just loved the way it approached the material and the way it approached the screen, be it with cartoon moments or sound effects or all the different tricks he played. Yeah, very much. When I met up with Brian it was a real meeting of the minds. I think we were meant to do this together.

Have you kept up with their solo work, like Neveldine produced Officer Downe?

Yeah, it was a friend of mine who came up with that character as well. I try to see as much as I can. Honestly, I’ve barely watched anything recently because I don’t like to be influenced, but since I’ve been working on television, I’ve actually started to watch fiction again so I’m trying to catch up on everything. Believe it or not, I haven’t even seen Game of Thrones.

How is working with visual effects artists similar or different to working with an artist like Darick?

Again, it’s different. With comics, it’s very auterish. There’s just two of us. Working on the TV show, we have hundreds of people coming together to create something which I found fascinating because I’d never really worked in that environment before. It was really interesting to see so many people working towards a goal. The special effects guys we got were actually from Glasgow, my home town. It wasn’t nepotism in any way. These guys made the most amazing pitch. They posted everything within two days. They had 40 pages of illustrations. They’ve just done a really incredible job. It’s like Pixar style animation on television which I don’t think has been done to this extent before. Working with those guys was great and for me, it’s very different from working with Darick with the two of us pushing through together. This was just to hand something over to people who were clearly highly professional and knew exactly what they’re doing. The work they came through with was amazing but he’s generally been working with Brian because he’s having to direct a character who’s not real. So he works very closely to make sure he’s getting the right expressions and the body language and the postures.

Does seeing Happy in three dimensions live up to your imagination?

Yeah, absolutely. I was blown away by it. It could’ve gone a lot weirder. Early on they were talking about doing a two dimensional animation but I think this was the way to go. I think particularly in the world we’ve grown up with, where CG has become so intrinsic to movies, the character had to look real and I think we achieved it. I think it’s amazing looking.

Could Happy! go the other way and have a comic book adaptation of season one?

Again, I don’t think we need to cross the streams. It’s just something that exists in its own space as a television show with a potential to do more. I don’t know, maybe one day Darick and I can go back and tell some other kind of story but I think we kind of sealed that one off. We tied a bow on that one. I don’t know if there’s anywhere to go other than onto television.

When you were writing Happy! originally, was Patton Oswalt the kind of voice you imagined him speaking with?

In my head, I actually heard him as Donald O’Connor from the old Singing in the Rain, in that kind of 1950s gee whiz can do kind of kid’s voice. That was all I had in my head. I know that Patton’s one of the first people Brian saw and he said, “We should talk to Patton.” So it kind of worked out. I’m really pleased the way he’s approached it because there are a lot of different ways. It could be Roger Rabbit and I think the way Patton plays it, you get the feeling that there’s a little bit more to Happy than we see. I think that’s what we needed. Happy’s not just necessarily what we see. We’ll learn what Happy really is and what it really means as we progress.

Since you’ve had time to watch more fiction, have you seen Justice League?

Haven’t seen the Justice League movie yet. My wife saw it and she actually liked it. I haven’t seen it.

How about Wonder Woman over the summer?

I saw the Wonder Woman movie. I enjoyed the performances. It’s not my take on Wonder Woman but I thought Gal Gadot was great, really likable. I thought Chris Pine was good but I do prefer the Amazons when they have technology. I don’t think the idea that women lived on an island for 3000 years and didn’t even invent a washing machine. I prefer my Amazons with philosophy and technology far beyond the rest of the planet.

It’s obviously not your take on Wonder Woman, but given your concerns about her portrayal of her in Batman v Superman, did you like how they captured at least the idealism of Wonder Woman in that movie?

Yeah, I think it was a lot better. As I say, the actress was great. You were rooting for her all the time which I think is really important for a superhero movie, that you instantly like the lead character. Again, for me it’s a different take. Wonder Woman, when she tells the generals to stop what they’re doing, it comes more from a place of naivety rather than having an alternative to offer them. So I’m interested to see where they go with that. To me, the interesting stuff with Wonder Woman is the Amazon philosophy and technology and the fact that it’s so different from anything that’s developed in the world of men. So they don’t have that in the film. It kind of takes it in a direction that’s different from what I would think of to do myself, but that’s fine. These characters are all open to interpretation and I thought it was a really good introduction to the character. As I say, she was great, Chris Pine was great and they carried the whole film.

His smile told the story as Morrison crossed the finish line and looked up at the clock at the Olympic Oval in Calgary.

With a time of 1:08:59 in the men’s 1,000-metre race, Morrison captured a spot on Canada’s fall World Cup team.

“There are so many mental facets to this story and today’s race was about getting the belief back in myself a little bit,” Morrison said.

The four-day fall World Cup selections kicked off the Olympic season for Canada’s long track speed skaters.

For the past two years, Morrison has been trying to piece his body back together after a horrific motorcycle crash and stroke. The four-time Olympic medallist is now trying to regain his world-class form. His family has had a front seat to his struggles as he tries to get back to the Olympics.

“Today’s race, it’s special. They’re my No. 1 teammates. My family knows better than anyone what I’ve been through on the ice and off the ice as well. It’s emotional. A really positive emotion,” Morrison said.

Morrison’s coach, Bart Schouten, was also emotional after the race.

“That was unbelievable. We weren’t sure what he could do,” Schouten said. “To come and pull one out like this is inspirational. This is amazing. This fires up everyone.”

In the men’s 1,000, a total of seven skaters met the time criteria needed to qualify for the World Cup events. Canada has a maximum of four spots available, which will likely be filled by Vincent de Haitre, Alexandre St-John, Morrison and David La Rue.

Personal best for Vincent de Haître

Cumberland, Ontario’s Vincent de Haître is making it very clear how dialled in he is for this Olympic season. Despite finishing first in the men’s 1,000 race on Saturday, he was visibly disappointed as he cooled down on the bike after the event.

“I have mixed feelings, but I’m happy with the result. I already had a spot and I wanted to show why that was the case,” he said. “There’s still a lot I need to work on.”

He immediately shifted his focus to Sunday’s 1,500 race, an event he feels he can reach the podium on at the Olympics.

With a time of 1:43:56, de Haître skated to a personal best in the 1,500, just ahead of Morrison. In this same event, Morrison skated to a bronze medal in Sochi.

Olympic Oval track record set by Bloemen

On Friday, Ted-Jan Bloemen set a new Olympic Oval record in the men’s 10,000 distance, stopping the clock at 12:46:83.

Not only is the result a new track record, it’s just 11 seconds off of his world record pace he set in Salt Lake City in November 2015. It’s the ninth fastest time in the history of the event.

“You don’t get to skate many 10,000 metres before the Olympics,” Bloemen said. “So when you race them you have to make them count.”

Bloemen had already pre-qualified for this event due to his fourth-place finish last year at the world single distance championships but wanted to prove he’s aiming for a podium finish at the Olympics.

“There’s still room for improvement for sure but I’m happy about this result,” he said.  “I was able to fight through it and it was really important I wasn’t expecting it.”

Jordan Belchos, Graeme Fish and Antoine Gelinas-Bealieu all met the time criteria in the race and are eligible to represent Canada alongside Bloemen at the fall world cups.

Hudey, McLean set tone in women’s 500m, 1,000m

Saskatchewan’s Marsha Hudey skated to a personal best time in the first of two 500 races on Friday and followed it up with another first-place skate on Saturday.

Her combined two-skate total time of 74.76 was just slightly better than her training partner Heather McLean’s time of 74.86.

“I’m happy with my races because I came out to execute and it reflected in my time,” Hudey said.

“It’s been about six months since we’ve been doing this. To get a personal best, I’m so stoked about it. It’s a great start for me.”

McLean, who was happy with her 500 performances, finished first in the women’s 1,000 on Saturday.

“It’s just going into the world cups being strong and being confident,” McLean said.

“Having that confidence at the beginning of the season is going to help going into the Olympics.”

Kaylin Irvine and Brianne Tutt finished behind McLean and all three were the only skaters to meet the time required to be eligible for selection at the fall world cups. Canada has a maximum of four spots in the women’s 1,000 event.

Other women’s notable performances include first place finishes by Ottawa’s Isabelle Weidemann in the 3,000 and 5,000, as well as Ivanie Blondin finishing first in the 1,500 just ahead of Tutt.

Gilmore Junio returns from Norway, wins 500m

Gilmore Junio, who is best known for giving up his spot to Morrison at the 2014 Olympics, needed a change after a disappointing finish to last season. He left Canada for Norway and spent the summer training with Canadian Olympic medallist Jeremy Wotherspoon.

Junio admits he had something to prove this weekend in Calgary after leaving the country to train and followed it up with a first-place showing in the men’s 500.

“It’s a big relief,” he said. “I took a risk going to Norway and coming back and seeing the hard work pay off is a big relief. It’s definitely a good starting point.”

Junio finished both races with a combined time of 68.94, just ahead of Laurent Dubreuil, followed by Alexandre Boisvert-Lacroix, Will Dutton and Alexandre St-John.

Junio says when he checked his phone after his race on Saturday he had a text message from coach Wotherspoon, who was watching online from Norway. All the message said was, “Nice!”

“That’s all he’s going to say. He lets me know you’re only as good as your next result,” Junio said.

Canada will only send 20 skaters to the fall world cups over the next couple of months. However, more than 20 skaters met the World Cup time criteria, leaving Canadian coaches having to make difficult decisions to round out the team. The final team will be announced over the next few weeks.

Matthew Morrison is confirming what many Grey’s Anatomy fans had suspected: We have not seen the last of Jo’s abusive husband. In an interview with The Argonaut, the Glee alum said his character, Paul Stadler, will play “a big role” in the ABC drama’s upcoming 14th season. An ABC rep declined to comment.

Morrison made his Grey’s debut as Paul in Season 13’s penultimate episode when Alex tracked down the fellow doc at a medical conference and imagined various incendiary scenarios involving his archnemesis. Ultimately, Karev walked away without confronting him, although the two did share an awkward moment jockeying for a cab (during which Paul seemed to recognize Alex).

Grey’s kicks off Season 14 with a two-hour episode on Thursday, Sept. 28.

Jennifer Morrison is excited to see Once Upon a Time‘s Henry suddenly all grown up, even though she won’t have much opportunity to hang with him, no longer being a series regular as the ABC drama enters Season 7.

RELATEDOnce Upon a Time‘s Jennifer Morrison Opens Up About Her Exit: ‘Emma Had Reached a Really Beautiful Place’

“This is part of the creative process. Things change and evolve,” the original cast member says of the show’s new “chapter,” which was teased at the close of the Season 6 finale on Sunday night. “The idea of Henry in the future opens up so many possibilities for the storytelling, so I think people should have faith in [series creators] Eddy [Kitsis] and Adam [Horowitz]. They do such amazing jobs at reinventing the show and finding ways to keep it fresh and interesting.”

Here is what else that Morrison, who will appear in one Season 7 episode (the premiere), had to say in Part 2 of her Once Upon a Time exit interview:

TVLINE | You obviously worked a lot over the years with Colin [O’Donoghue, as Hook]. What was his reaction to your decision to leave, what kind of support did you get?
Colin and I are good friends and will always be good friends. He knows me like a family member, so he was sad, because obviously we work well together and we enjoy our time on set together. But the other side of that is he cares about me as a person and he knew it was the right thing for my life. He was very supportive about that.

TVLINE | Looking back, do you have any favorite seasons or storylines?
I loved the Dark Swan storyline, the idea of being able to stretch Emma in different ways and explore the darker side of her. And I also love that ultimately they still stayed true to the Savior that was within her. That she is who she is, and you can’t take away that fate. That no matter what she went through and no matter how far she pushed the limits, ultimately within her was this fate as the Savior. I thought they did an amazing job of giving that character a chance to spread her wings and be completely different in certain ways but also keep her true to the core of her being. Her intentions and her desires were actually well-intended, even though she was going about it in maybe not the most productive way. [Laughs]

I have loved so many of the storylines over the years. I loved the Back to the Future stuff that I did with Colin [in the Season 3 finale]. Once Upon Time Back FutureI loved the musical episode [on May 7]; I was so happy that I got to be a part of that and I felt as if it was a very beautiful wrap-up of who Emma has become. It was a chance to really see her go from that ugly duckling to a swan, in that song she has [“Emma’s Theme”] in the mayor’s office. It was also a chance to see her completely unguarded and absolutely in love and vulnerable with Hook at the wedding. She was full of joy and not worrying about the next monster or crisis, just absolutely deciding to be in the moment and alive and free and happy. And she was willing to do that knowing that she’s about to face something really difficult. She had the courage to say, “You know what? It’s OK to be in the moment. We’re going to find a way through and it’s going to be OK.” To see her in that place after how far she has come…. It’s hard to imagine, when you watch her in the pilot, being someone who could grow to that place. I love that I got to take her on such an incredible journey.

TVLINE | How will you be keeping busy this summer, to start?
My God. [Laughs] I thought I was going to give myself some time, and that turned into me being busier than ever — which has been wonderful! I have been very creatively satisfied, so it’s been great. Right as I was wrapping Season 6, I went to New Orleans to do a small part in a movie called Assassination Nation, which a dear friend of mine [Sam Levinson] is directing but also I just think is a really special piece; I was excited to be a part of it, even in a very small way.Morrison Perry I went back to Louisiana to do the film Back Roads, which Alex Pettyfer is starring in and is his directorial debut. He’s doing an incredible job, I truly believe in him as a director.

Right now, I’m in New York in rehearsals for the Off-Broadway play The End of Longing, which Matthew [Perry] wrote and is starring in. I’m playing opposite him, and we are having so much fun. We’re all exhausted with rehearsals but loving it. And then, Sun Dogs is going to premiere at a signficant festival in the next few months. And beyond all that, I’m going through a lot of material to find what will be my second feature as a director. And I have some projects I’m developing as a producer. So, I’m developing some things and doing some acting, just waiting to see what falls into place first after the play.

Once Upon a Time was once a great show that married the lighter, sweet elements of fairy tales with their darker implications — that of the boogeyman under your bed or the pervasive mommy issues that pop up throughout folklore.

But what was once an intriguing revisionist fairy tale show became glorified Disney fan fiction, where you could see Elsa from Frozen team up with Prince Charming against warlord Bo Peep, or witness Mulan falling in love with a battle-scarred Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. (Sadly, these all sound wackier and more fun on paper than they were on screen.) Anchoring this growing cast of Disney and public domain characters was Jennifer Morrison‘s Emma Swan, whose bounty-hunter-turned-Savior — and daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming — provided the catalyst for the story. Now after six seasons, Morrison announced that she won’t be returning to the show as a series regular, calling the show’s fate into question. Does this mean the (happy) end for Once Upon a Time?

Once Upon a Time Jennifer Morrison

The Show Loses Its Main Character — Or Does It?

Emma Swan was purportedly the main character when the show began, brought to the mysterious, fairy tale-filled town of Storybrooke by her long-lost son Henry, who she had given up for adoption as a teenager. As the show went on and its cast grew, Once Upon a Time became an ensemble show, and Emma’s story took a backseat to the development of former villain, the Evil Queen Regina (Lana Parilla). But Emma remained the anchoring element of the show, with this season especially emphasizing the sacrifices she’s made as the Savior of the town and its inhabitants.

But on Monday, Morrison announced on her Facebook page that she would not return to Once Upon a Time for its seventh season, stating that “creatively and personally, it is time for me to move on.”

Emma Swan is one my favorite characters that I have ever played. My 6 years on ONCE UPON A TIME has changed my life in the most beautiful ways. I am absolutely blown away by the passion and commitment of the Oncer fans. I am so honored to have been a central part of such a special show.

If ABC Network does in fact order a season 7, I have agreed to appear in one episode, and I will most certainly continue to watch ONCE UPON A TIME. The creativity of the show runners has always inspired me, and I cannot wait to see the ways that they continue to develop and reinvent the show.

Morrison’s exit would follow her character’s parents, Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas, who told fans earlier this year that they would not be returning for the show’s next season. Goodwin and Dallas, who met and married while on the show, have had two kids through the course of Once Upon a Time‘s run, so it makes sense that they would be leaving. But Morrison’s exit is a bit of a shocker, considering how pivotal she still is to the show, despite its focus turning to other characters like Regina or Robert Carlyle‘s Rumpelstiltskin.

Although Season 7 still hasn’t been confirmed yet by ABC, showrunners Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz have already been readying for a cast shake-up, with the Season 6 finale set to introduce two new characters that would supposedly lead the show after Morrison, Goodwin and Dallas’ exit: a young man/cynical recluse (played by The Walking Dead‘s Andrew J. West) and a precocious 10-year-old girl (Jane the Virgin’s Alison Fernandez).

Though the show seems ready for Emma Swan to leave, the introduction of brand new characters to replace a character who was the anchor for six seasons seems to me to be disingenuous to the characters and the show’s message. Sure, it’s been done before, but it’s rarely a good idea. This isn’t Lassie.

Once Upon a Time JOSH DALLAS, GINNIFER GOODWIN, JENNIFER MORRISON

Can Shows Continue Without Its Stars?

The core three stars of the show are leaving Once Upon a Time. Sure, Regina is just as important a character as them — with the best, most compelling redemption arc that this mess of a show has managed to pull off — and Carlyle’s talents are probably the reason the series hasn’t descended into the uneven disaster its writing promises to be. Plus there is a whole cast of unexplored characters who steal the show in their one-off episodes: Emilie de Ravin‘s Belle, Rebecca Mader‘s Zelena, Eion Bailey‘s August. But like I said before, it’s a bad idea for shows to replace their main leads.

Just look at Scrubs Season 9.

Most of the main cast left the show with its supposed finale in Season 8, leaving viewers with completely new main characters who struggled to leave an impression. It was a disaster. Scrubs star Zach Braff even acknowledged that the ninth season tainted the show’s legacy, and encouraged viewers to forget it ever happened. Sadly, we can’t forget it, and it should remain a cautionary tale for shows that try to go on past their expiration date.

While shows like The Vampire Diaries have limped on without its main star thanks to the strength of its main cast, I doubt Once Upon a Time will be able to pull it off. The strength of the show has always been in its talented and charismatic cast, who gamely power through inconsistent characterization and bad writing. While many talented stars remain, the cast may lose the ongoing battle against the showrunners to keep their characters and the story afloat. Because come on, who else can sell a story that involves at least four time jumps, three bouts of amnesia and villains who get forgiven for mass slaughter in a blink of the eye?

Once Upon a Time

Maybe It’s Time for Once Upon a Time to Say the End

Once Upon a Time should write its happy ending before the show taints its own legacy — whatever that legacy may be.

For now, Once Upon a Time is a messy, sweet and entertaining show that has benefited from the magnetism and talent of its actors. With its cast leaving left and right, it will only have its weak and paradoxical writing to rely on, and the occasional stunt casting that capitalizes on the most popular Disney brand of the moment (hello Frozen and Brave!). Let’s face it, Once Upon a Time is not a good show. And with many of its main cast members leaving, it is in danger of becoming an emphatically bad show.

Morrison is willing to return in a guest star capacity to wrap up her character’s arc. Let Emma Swan get her happy ending, and with her, let the rest of Storybrooke finally reach the final chapter of their story. Because even an often-frustrating, sometimes delightful, undeniably magical show like Once Upon a Time deserves a fairy tale ending.

Not half a day after Emma and Hook exchanged vows at the crescendo of the ABC series’ well-reviewed musical episode, Jennifer Morrison announced that if there is a Season 7, she will not be back as a series regular. That said, she has promised to come back for a singular episode, as needed.

RELATEDOnce Upon a Time: Jennifer Morrison Not Returning for Possible Season 7

Shortly after Morrison shared her news and TVLine relayed series creators Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis’ heartfelt statement, we hopped on the phone with the actress, who’s in the midst of rehearsals for The End of Longing, an Off-Broadway play written by and also starring Matthew Perry. In Part 1 of our conversation, Morrison delves into her decision — and expresses her regret over sending fans on a roller coaster the past 24 hours!

TVLINE | When did you first let Adam and Eddy know that you might not be re-signing this spring?
It’s one of those things where until there was a decision on the table to make, I had no idea what my instinct was going to be. You can’t assume that they’re going to invite you back, and you can’t assume that there’s going to be a Season 7.  So until I knew that there was even a decision to make, I kind of pushed it out of my mind a bit. And then once the decision was real, I did have strong feelings right away, that I had to sort through.

Obviously I love the show, I love the character, I love Eddy and Adam, I’m very close with some of the cast…. It’s a tricky decision to make, because all those things are very attractive. But the other side of that is I did six years on House, I did a year on How I Met Your Mother, I did six years of Once Upon a Time — that’s collectively 13 years of network television back-to-back, which is a-ma-zing and the best thing that’s ever happened to me, but it’s a grueling schedule. I don’t know if everybody realizes that we work 16 to 18 hours a day, and being in Vancouver for the show meant flying every weekend trying to barely see my friends and family every once in a while. For six years, I was on average taking 100 flights a year.

It’s worn me down in a certain way, and it made me stop and think about where I was at in my life and what I wanted and what my priorities were. As much as I love the show, I ultimately had to do what was right for me, and I need to be home. I need to be in New York in L.A., I need to be around my family and friends and have a chance at a personal life, and to have opportunities to do new things creatively. So I’m ready for the new challenges.

RELATEDOnce Upon a Time on Bubble, Eyeing ‘Reset’: Should ABC Keep or Cut?

TVLINE | Does a part of you feel that Emma’s story is complete? That she might have been servicing something else, something perhaps smaller, moving forward with this Season 7 “reset”?
I don’t know; it wasn’t like they pitched me a story that I declined. The decision wasn’t because I wasn’t interested in a storyline; it was a truly personal decision. But I do feel like Emma had reached a really beautiful place. By the time we get to the musical episode, I felt like we were coming to a very natural culmination of her story, that we were facing her happy ending. That’s always what I’ve hoped for for her, that we could take her on this journey, where she has had ups and downs, where she’s had to fight very hard not only to protect her family and herself but also to be vulnerable and to be open, to be a better version of herself. I feel like she’s really reached a new place in her life, in a way that felt like a good place to leave her.

TVLINE | Of course a lot of our readership this morning has said, “No Emma, no Jen, no Once for”—
 [Interrupting] I hope that’s not true! I have no interest in this being the end of the show. I care about everybody involved so much. I want to see it continue, and I really meant it when I said [on Instagram] that I will watch the show and I hope everybody watches with me. It’s very sweet, the loyalty—

TVLINE | Their reactionOnce Upon a Time Wedding Spoilers may have been in part due to the roller coaster they’d been on in the past 16 hours. They get the wedding, they get the musical, and then….
I know. I hate that that’s how the timing had to work out, but unfortunately this information was in the world and it was going to come out sooner rather than later. We all felt like we wanted it to come from all of us, not come from a “source “that we had to confirm or decline. I felt strongly that it should come from all of us, because we do all care about and appreciate the fan base. It would have been lovely to have waited until after the season finale, in certain ways, in terms of the storytelling, but I felt like — and I think everybody, from ABC and Eddy and Adam’s side felt like — we wanted it to come from us.

RELATEDOnce Upon a Time Cast Shake-Up: Finale Will Accommodate Any Changes, No Story Will Feel ‘Incomplete’

TVLINE | Was the season finale written knowing that you wouldn’t be returning, or will it merely allow for that?
I believe they knew [my decision] by the time that they were writing that. The other thing is, the show still hasn’t been picked up for Season 7 officially, so they had to write kind of not knowing if it was the end for everyone or not. So there was a delicate balance that they had to keep, which I am impressed by and I am sure put a lot of pressure on them. Because there was a chance that this is the end for everyone, and there was a chance that this was a “pause” before then the start of something totally new. But that question might be more for Eddy and Adam; I don’t know where they were in the process. But as soon as I was sure how I felt about [leaving], I let them know immediately.

TVLINE | The one Season 7 episode you have promised to return for, is it necessarily the premiere? Or could it come later down the line?
I believe it’s the season premiere; I can’t remember contractually if it was slotted as exactly that, but I believe it’s the season premiere.

TVLINE | In their statement, Once Upon a Time SpoilersAdam and Eddy gave you props for bringing to life “a brand-new Disney princess”—
Awwww….

TVLINE | How does it make you feel to read something like that?
I love that, it makes me so happy. I love those guys so much, I really do. They’re such incredible human beings and such great writers…. They’ve been by my side every step of the way in terms of putting it all on the page and giving me the chance to breathe life into it. It means a lot to me. Disney is quite the corporation, in terms of their princesses. It’s fun to shift people’s perspective of what it means to be a princess. We started this show with Disney concerned about Snow White holding a sword! And we’ve come a long way from there. So I am very proud to have been a part of that change, and to be a part of that journey. I am absolutely privileged to be considered among the “new guard” of princesses.
