It fools most of the town, but Leo is far from safe when the season finale ends.
In fact, that’s not really what it is.
It’s just really fun, you know?

On any given day, you’re going to have different kinds of things you have to do.
Most of the scenes had two or three or four different kinds of things going on.
It’s hard to play two of those different scenes in one day.

Leo’s expressing his own worries, but they’re coming out as concerns for his son.
Then there’s that whole thing with his dad.
Can you take us inside what it was like to film those scenes?

The shed is a place where you really can see Leo just let go.
Those scenes were really intense.
I mean, it was an actual little shed.

But there is that need to do it again.
Has Leo traded in one complication for an even bigger one in Candace (Laura Gordon)?

Talk about the ending.

He’s a beloved figure and can cover his tracks.
If this is the ending of the show, you’re not sure how it’s going to go.
You just know that there’s more story.
How would Leo Doyle do in Bon Temps?
Leo’s kind of a chameleon.
I think he would do okay.
Depends on what season!
