A forged member on The Morning Present confirmed that they are leaving the Apple TV present and mirrored on her character’s journey. The Morning Present season 4 is at the moment streaming on Apple TV, with solely three extra episodes to go till the finale. Know-how has performed a serious function within the present storyline, with deepfakes and AI dominating the characters’ lives.
Throughout The Morning Present season 4, episode 6, “If Then,” Stella ran right into a metaphorical brick wall when her private secrets and techniques got here to the floor by way of her AI chatbot in entrance of a whole group of individuals. She ended up leaving her function as head of reports at UBN and catching a flight to flee her distress after Miles’ rejection.
This left a lingering query of whether or not Greta Lee, who performs Stella, was really leaving the present for good. The actor spoke to Selection and confirmed that so far as she’s conscious, “that is the top for her.”
Lee added that she would like to see a state of affairs the place Stella returns sooner or later sooner or later when The Morning Present storyline catches up to what’s taking place on the earth of AI in 2025 (the present is at the moment set in 2024).
That is the top for her, so far as I do know. However in fact, for the reason that present is so prescient and a direct commentary on what’s taking place, I might like to see what sort of world would exist the place she comes again, and what she might need to say.
Nonetheless, a grand return cannot occur anytime quickly as a result of “the world has to shift slightly bit extra to make room for her” in a manner that might necessitate Stella’s comeback.
Once I take into consideration her and what I would like for her, I don’t know if there’s a spot for her that exists fairly but. I feel the world has to shift slightly bit extra to make room for her in the way in which that I might need to see her. In any other case, we’ll simply see her being a slave to this company. Being a slave to unfulfilled needs, and I don’t need that for her.
As an alternative of being a “slave to this company,” Lee desires Stella to be “roughened up” by the true world and return when she really has one thing “ingenious” to deliver to the desk.
I would like her to be utterly taken unexpectedly by what’s on the market for her. If she ever comes again, I would like her to be form of like Matthew McConaughey because the seaside bum, with bongos and the hair. I would like her to essentially be roughed up slightly bit by real-world residing. Simply to feed her soul slightly bit, and turn into an individual. As a result of I actually do suppose it’s from that place that possibly she would have one thing ingenious to supply.
For now, although, there aren’t any plans for Lee to reprise her function on The Morning Present. She believes that Stella’s fall from grace was inevitable, particularly after she misplaced her ethical excessive floor when she went together with a gross stunt involving a feminine server licking a beverage from a desk in season 3.
Ever since then, Stella hasn’t given herself the time or vitality to alter her methods and even to comprehend she was spiraling uncontrolled. Now that Stella is now not at UBN, Lee hopes that her character does simply that—ideally on a seaside.
However I’m hoping she’s going to now get an opportunity to. I feel that’s a part of the issue for her. It’s like she hasn’t been afforded the chance to mirror or to forgive and even, in plenty of methods, acknowledge in an even bigger manner a number of the issues she’s endured and performed as a way to get to the place she is. So I’m hoping she’s doing that on a seaside someplace.
Other than her popularity being demolished, Stella confronted rejection from Miles when she bought on the aircraft, which is definitely a a lot better final result for her vital progress, based on Lee, who claimed that her character is now “free.” Whereas that was a scary second for Stella, and he or she might need thought at first that she had misplaced all the things, the fact is that “she’s bought all the things.”
I feel it’s an entire new sensation that she has actually by no means skilled earlier than. It’s quite a bit to course of inside a number of moments. When she realizes Miles isn’t coming, she is taking inventory and realizing she has nothing. However the stunning factor for her and somebody like her is in that second of realizing she’s bought nothing, it form of means she’s bought all the things. That’s the present of the horrible circumstances which have fallen on her. She actually is free. I feel, arguably, that step towards the aircraft is the scariest factor she’s in all probability ever performed in her life.
Stella could also be gone from the Apple TV sequence, however The Morning Present forged remains to be being led by Jennifer Aniston’s Alex Levy and Reese Witherspoon’s Bradley Jackson.
With solely 4 extra episodes left in season 4 (and a fifth installment already ordered by the streamer), there’s nonetheless loads of time for extra scandals to shake up their lives past the latest AI nightmare.
The Morning Present season 4 streams Wednesdays on Apple TV.
