When word came down that Loving was being cancelled, the show’s producers decided to go out with a bang by introducing a serial killer storyline that was both revolutionary and unexpected. It is hard to describe just how fraught with tension these episodes were when they aired. Show publicity at the time made it clear that only a select few of the cast would be going on to the new series being created to take the place of Loving. That meant no one was safe; a fact continually hit home as the original cast of characters met stunning, albeit creative, deaths. And just when the audience thought they couldn’t be shocked anymore, the writers unleashed their greatest the surprise when the serial killer was revealed to be the long suffering matriarch of the show, Gwenyth Alden.
This week’s Flashback Video features this unforgettable storyline and pays homage to the tour de force performance by Christine Tudor in the show’s closing days. Seriously, it has been over a decade and I’m still wondering how Christine Tudor didn’t walk away with an Emmy that year. Enjoy!
