![]() ![]() And of course, I love Maddy Cline so much. So, that was terrible to play but as an actor, very interesting. “What do I do now? If that is true, then now what?” ![]() She suddenly said, “I’m on the other side.” And even Ward is going through this battle in his own mind. it was real interesting to me that, if Ward finally believes and understands Sarah, that she’s not on his side anymore, suddenly she is out from that umbrella of protection from Ward. He’s been in denial about what Sarah is telling him so plainly… but Ward does not understand that that’s even possible to him. But there’s a certain part where he’s been rejected by Sarah again and again and again, and it’s almost the stages of grief. I mean, it depends on what point of the season we’re talking about, for sure. Eventually, he says he sides with Rafe, but his actions repeatedly say “Sarah.” There are so many points where he talks about not wanting to choose between his kids. TVLINE | You mention Ward’s family: I feel like this season really played up the relationship among Ward, Rafe and Sarah, especially. I wouldn’t want to play that other guy and I’m not good at growing mustaches anyway. You sort of understand.Īnd that’s exciting for me to play. If you can ground it in that, it gets really confusing for the audience, because there’s moments where yeah, you know, it’s wrong - but you’re conflicted. This is a guy, whatever else you want to say about him, he loves his family. ![]() But then, further on down the road, we both aimed as often as we could at giving it all the facets, all the nuances. They didn’t want a guy who was bad just because he was bad, they wanted, first of all, to confuse the audience at the beginning, because this might be a really good dad here. Our wonderful writers told me that one of the reasons they asked me to be a part of this is because of the things they’d seen on Nashville. It’s one I’m grateful to hear, because that was the aim. He’s always just reacting to whatever’s falling apart in front of him, and doesn’t seem to be playing a long game. But it really struck me this season that Ward is not a moustache-twirling villain with a master plan. TVLINE | We’ll get back to his longevity - and what that might mean for the next season - in a minute. He’s push-them-all-in - and literally, you know that phrase never say die? That’s Ward Cameron. Ward is not a take-your-chips-and-slink-away-from-the-table guy. I think it is an inability to know how to give up on any level. TVLINE | Ward kinda-almost dies twice this season, and yet he is not dead by the end of the finale! Can you please tell me: What is keeping this man alive? Sheer fury? (Read a finale recap, and hear what Esten’s co-star Chase Stokes and the show’s executive producers have to say about the major reveal.) Of course, we wanted to discuss all of the above with Nashville alum Charles Esten, who filled us in on what Ward’s two-front war in a potential Season 3 might look like (and on how Deacon Claybourne inadvertently made himself known during filming). And we haven’t even gotten to the season’s biggest shocker: John B’s father presumed-dead father, Big John, isn’t dead - despite Ward’s attempts to off him prior to the events of the first season. ![]()
