Now, in honor of the episode, ScreenRant‘s Tatiana Hullender interviewed John Boyd and Shantel VanSanten to debate FBI season 8’s massive Scolina marriage ceremony episode. “It appears like an actual marriage ceremony, and all this press is coming, and there are cameras and interviews. It was this massive occasion,” Boyd quipped. And it did not go with out incident both, with VanSanten saying that just about all the pieces that might’ve gone fallacious, did:
Shantel VanSanten: After which we, after all, completely flopped on the very first take! We had the fallacious rings; I had my ring, and he had his. We went to go do it, and he is me like, “Simply maintain going. Do not let anyone know that I am placing my very own ring in your finger.” And that was wonderful, although it was just a little free, I may faux it. However the issue was that I went to place my ring on his finger, and he put out his pinky! I used to be like, “I can not do that. I am so sorry. That is so foolish.” I used to be the failed actor in that second, and I needed to chuckle. Possibly it relieved just a little little bit of no matter strain or rigidity we had been feeling.
“Completely,” Boyd added. “You have to watch out what you do! It’d go on TV. It is occurred earlier than.

John Boyd: Attending to be the couple on the altar was nice, but it surely was additionally about all of our castmates being there, and the present attending to have this second of pleasure and celebration for a way far we have all come. It was symbolic of what our followers have been via with us.

Shantel VanSanten: We additionally acquired to have our son! It is the identical son that we have had since Dougie was first launched. Which does not occur in Hollywood, by the way in which. You normally cannot get the identical child, however as a result of we have been doing this for just a little over 4 years now, and the way in which they’ve written it made it in order that he was the best age anytime we had been capturing, It was excellent. However there was this bizarre quantity of strain the day that we had been capturing it, like, “Wow, this appears like a very massive day now that we’re right here.”
Every thing Else Boyd & VanSanten Shared About Scolina — Earlier than & After The Marriage ceremony
ScreenRant: John, we all know that Scola and Nina are in a contented and steady relationship no matter their marital standing, however how would you say he’s feeling about the place they’re at earlier than the episode begins?
John Boyd: I feel Scola’s wrestle is that if you wish to settle for the way in which that somebody loves you fiercely, it’s a must to settle for that they love what they do fiercely as effectively. It is the identical aspect of Nina; the identical human that loves him is the one who has this dire must work to make a greater world, probably to her personal detriment and definitely to the detriment of the belief of their relationship. I feel it is a kind of issues the place he is arrived at a spot of, “Properly, all the pieces can be okay so long as this does not occur.” And naturally, “this” is precisely what occurs, and off we go. I feel that is the place he begins each time they cross paths at work. He begins from a spot of, “Properly, that is going to be wonderful.”
Shantel VanSanten: After which it is, “What’s Nina going to do that time? What choice is she going to make?”
ScreenRant: The proposal scene is admittedly stunning. The case clearly adjustments Nina’s perspective within the episode, however Scola had this ring already. Had he rehearsed this second in his thoughts? What’s he feeling going into that scene?
John Boyd: Yeah, I feel there’s this factor that is gnawing at him that he cannot perceive about his relationship. He is aware of she’s the one, and he is aware of that he needs to ask. However there’s one thing holding issues up, and I feel it was the exploration, rupture, and restore of this case that woke him up. Realizing that they will come again collectively, and in addition that she’s going to say sure actually helps him. He is like, “Oh, pricey, I waited too lengthy.”
Shantel VanSanten: You waited so lengthy, I nearly acquired to ask you! We must always have filmed that model.
John Boyd: I cherished the second of him being like, “Okay, I am taking management right here. There’s one factor that we’ll do usually.”
ScreenRant: With Nina and Scola lastly tying the knot, are there every other characters within the FBI franchise that you just guys are transport, or ones that you just wish to play matchmaker for?
Shantel VanSanten: OA’s acquired to search out any person. It is only a longer journey for him.
John Boyd: Yeah, there is likely to be just a little love connection for OA sooner or later. I feel it will be enjoyable to play matchmaking for Maggie. I feel we must always attempt.
Shantel VanSanten: You do Maggie, and I will do OA. The factor I really like is how infectious Zeeko [Zaki]’s smile and laughter is. Oftentimes, although there is a heaviness and a seriousness to every episode, the minute that the digicam’s off, the forged and crew are all laughing and having simply one of the best time. I might like to see that aspect of Zeeko, just a bit trace of it in an episode the place he is not so OA and is only a teeny little bit of the Zeeko we get to expertise every day. Let that gentle and laughter and lightness come via! That is most likely why I need to matchmake for OA.
