We were all in our chairs in between takes reading what was going to happen and I got to the very last scene and I was like, "Oh my gosh!" I turned to Nico and said, "It's you and me in the end." When I read the script, I was shooting a scene with Nico and Debi and they sent us the final script. But we respect one another and we're there for one another still." That's why I love that last scene when he tells her he's going to write his book and asks her, I think it's so beautiful. And they go, "S**t, we love each other and it's not going to work. These two people are adults who've been through a lot, who've been through marriages and relationships, and they both kind of know.
There are consequences to her lie, ultimately, in her relationship but she comes out successful in the end. It was exciting to be like, "Wow, she's worked seven years and this is where.
She ends up on top and that was really exciting. Ribbons aren't tied, everything isn't all tied up in a bow but it's incredibly true to the initial conceit of the show. Especially in the last episode, you see her ultimately get. It was satisfying, especially this season, to really see her fly. That was cool to play a character that, as she was becoming more authentic to herself and also growing up - it seems so trite to say it that way but she was finding her way and her confidence and her voice and her power, especially in the workplace at Empirical. The first season, it was 100 percent of the story and then in the second season, it was 85 percent of the story and then it was 70 percent and now it's like not really a point. I mean, so much more that in this last season it isn't even part of the story, which is really cool that it emerged beyond that. It was really cool to play a woman who was - she was floundering in the first season - and I appreciate you saying that because I think the show became so much more than that initial conceit. I feel like the show grew up and I think Liza grew up too. What was the most meaningful part of seeing the show's transformation? But as the show went on, the conceit evolved into something more complex and nuanced. Looking back on season 1 of Younger, the show began with a simple premise - of a woman who needed to enter the workplace and the only way she could get a job was to lie about her age. That's what I take from the whole experience is that it was a place where we all felt valued and treasured and nourished. It was a very happy and fun place and supportive and kind. When I look back at the whole experience, what I take away from it is all the good-natured quality and optimism, it was part of the work environment as well. She was resilient and that was exciting and a gift to have her be a part of my life for seven years. I think she was a good friend and loyal and creative and wasn't a victim.
It wasn't a show about blowing things and running from zombies, it was a good-natured escape and I loved playing a character who was, at her core, a good person. And yes, I'm so proud of the show and I'm so proud of how it was an optimistic, hopeful show about reinvention, and about female relationships, and multigenerational relationships, and females championing each other and supporting one another. I think what resonates with me now is more about the environment and sort of what we all created and were able to sustain for seven years. I'll probably have a deeper perspective in a couple of years as I look back on the whole thing. What are you proudest of in terms of what you were able to do as Liza over these seven seasons?
That just makes me sad but I'm also excited for new opportunities too. Younger has marked seven seasons but it's also the last seven years of my life, so it is strange to think we're not all going to be coming together again next year. As much as I'm like, "Aww, it's the last one," I'm really excited for people to see it. I've already cried all my tears and stuff, and I have to say too I'm really proud of our final episode. We wrapped in February, so we've been wrapped for a while.
