“This show was always meant to be escapist and inspirational, to inspire women to really look at their lives and make sure that they’re happy and that they get what they want, that they’re parts of themselves. And I feel like giving them a happy ending is a much better way to inspire women than to basically make Billie miserable because she screwed up.”

Brad will also have his own challenges with his previous relationship as his wife gave birth to a baby boy but decided to call it quits thanks to his career taking an unexpected setback.
