Another area in which 9-1-1: Lone Star resembles its parent series is in the departure of a major cast member after its first season. Just like Connie Britton left 9-1-1 after its first season, so too did Liv Tyler depart 9-1-1: Lone Star after season 1. Tyler will be replaced by Gina Torres, who will play Tommy Vega.
The rest of the 9-1-1: Lone Star cast is set to return for season 2. This includes: Rob Lowe as Owen Strand, Ronen Rubinstein as TK Strand, Sierra McClain as Grace Ryder, Jim Parrack as Judd Ryder, Natacha Karam as Marjan Marwani, Brian Michael Smith as Paul Strickland, Rafael Silva as Carlos Reyes, and Julian Works as Mateo Chavez.
Lisa Edelstein's appearance on Fox's 9-1-1: Lone Star was short and sweet, to say the least. The House star joined the cast of the medical drama in 2021 and at the end of February 2022, she bowed out of the show for good.
In the previous episode, "Red vs. Blue," Gwyn's son T.K. (Ronen Rubinstein) received a phone call, breaking the news his mother had died, and in the most recent episode of 9-1-1: Lone Star, audiences learned what happened.
Lowe explained: "We felt like this was the best resolve of her character's arc. You know she lives in New York, she has a significant other in New York, she's [just had] his baby. Those are stories that certainly wouldn't fit in the 9-1-1: Lone Star, Texas universe. She lives a separate life there. So it had kind of run its course. The question was, "what's the most fulfilling, dramatic, juicy thing, way to service that story?" And you know, there's nothing more dramatic than an unexpected death, as opposed to her just being on the phone every sixth episode or something like that."
Ahead of tonight's episode, we asked star and executive producer Rob Lowe (whose character, Owen, is T.K.'s father and Gwyn's ex-husband) and co-creator Tim Minear to share what fans can expect from tonight's emotional episode, why it was time to say goodbye to Gwyn, and if we've really seen the last of Edelstein on Lone Star.
LOWE: We felt like this was the best resolve of her character's arc. You know, she lives in New York, she has a significant other in New York, she's [just had] his baby. Those are stories that certainly wouldn't fit in the 9-1-1: Lone Star, Texas universe. She lives a separate life there. So it had kind of run its course. The question was, "what's the most fulfilling, dramatic, juicy thing, way to service that story?" And you know, there's nothing more dramatic than an unexpected death, as opposed to her just being on the phone every sixth episode or something like that.
MINEAR: But that wasn't really your question. Your question was, "Why now?" Well, why not? I don't want to crap on the poetry of what we did by talking about physical realities of production, but Lisa Edelstein is a guest star on [Lone Star]. She doesn't play a first responder on the show. And what often happens in our universe is when you have a character that is not on the front lines of being a first responder, they end up moving to Haiti. There's nothing for them to do, and so they can service the stories, but I can't necessarily count on them to be there whenever I want them for an episode. They have to be available. I have to be able to afford them for an episode. I just don't want people just spinning their wheels on screen. I want to give them something to play. I want to give them something to do. And it was time for me to explore T.K.'s sobriety, and this just felt like the right way to do it. It's just full of emotion. It's my favorite episode this year so far, and there have been a few that I've loved. I wanted it to feel like a tragedy feels. Tragedy isn't planned for often. Sometimes it just happens. Sometimes a piano just falls on your goddamn head. 781b155fdc
