Bones 10th Season Premiere airs on Thursday Sept. 25 on FOX 8 pm ET. I had to pleasure of chatting with stars David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel. Read what that had to say below. We talk plot twist, legal drama and more.
Q: How Booth and Brennan are going to deal with Booth being in jail and also after that fact?
Emily:
Booth is in trouble.
We’re worried about him. We think
he’s not going to survive being in prison.
We have different ideas about how we’re going to get him out. Being in prison brings up a lot of stuff for
Booth, suffering from PTSD because of being there, as well as being tortured, and what
not, being in the military and the Army Rangers in his past. He’s gone through a lot in his life.
I think it’ll last throughout the season. I don’t think it will necessarily be as dark
as some
people might think it will be.
I
think the first two episodes really have the sense of how dark it could.
Who he(Booth) trusts with inside of the FBI, how he
decides to take things into his own hands,
and how Bones deals with that and
gets him back.
There’s a great moment in episode two that is a very strong moment between both of them,
to a point where he has to decide what to do.
I’m not going to really say what that is, but it is definitely,
it’s a page turner for their relationship and see how that unfolds.
Q: What can your share about the upcoming 200th episode? Anything we should look forward to?
David: We are prepping now and we start shooting that in
October, so it’s going to be pretty big.
Emily: Yes,
it’s going to be big. I don't know how much we can say about it.
They're still figuring out the details; we know some of what's happening,
but I know we want to keep it a bit of a surprise for everyone.
It's going to be a lot of fun. It's going to be very different, but still great characters. It'll be great.
Q: Can you tell us about some of the
struggles that they’re going to have,
and what their relationship is going to be
like as the season evolves?
David: Well,
they’re going to have to deal with their different types of reactions to
certain things, because of where Booth is in prison and coming out. Bones is going to really have to reevaluate
their relationship in a way that is—why is he acting this way and I’m not quite
understanding it? Booth takes some things in his own hands and there’ll definitely
be some conflict that’s there.
I
think there will be a tipping point at the end of episode 2, that will look at
it and see that it’ll obviously bring them closer together. Throughout these seasons, we have always
maintained their relationship and always gone back to their relationship. Yes, there will be some conflicting moments,
some emotional moments, as well as trying to figure each other out again,
because things are going to be much different when he gets out.
Emily:
There’s
lots of conflict but we’re still a solid couple,
but we’re really dealing with
some strong differences of opinion.
Booth is clearly hurting and Brennan
does not understand
and they’re trying to figure out how to address it all. It’s hard on both of them.
Q: How does Booth and Brennan react to Daisy being pregnant?
David: They’re such great characters and they’re part of the
family.
It’s just definitely going to
bring everybody closer together.
I think
we can all now enjoy each other’s time more, via character-wise.
I think it’ll be interesting to see how that
develops with I know, going forward, especially with someone like Sweets. It’d be great, such a bonding experience for
Booth and the two of them. They treat each other as friends but they’ll get closer. I’m looking forward to that relationship and how
that unfolds in the episodes, especially with myself and Sweets.
Emily: Seeing them together, which is so exciting for everybody, I
think that we’re all excited. We were
excited that Carla actually was pregnant in real life and did have a baby. She got to bring her baby over to the
set. Off camera and on camera, we’re
very excited about a baby happening, a baby being born. It’s really exciting. I think it’s going to be exciting for the
fans and it’s exciting for the whole Bones
family on the show.
Q: Booth is suffering from PTSD,will we learn more about his past
trauma?
David: I think we will.
I think that through the challenges that he has, being in prison,trying
to get out of prison, trying to deal with the people in prison, and obviously
trying to deal with his life outside and how his relationship is with Bones. I
think that you’ll get an insight into how he reacts to certain things and maybe
why he’s not the same when he comes out when he’s with Bones, and how she may
tiptoe around him and not understand him certainly.
I
think that that will creep in and out throughout the season. I don’t want to say that it’s going to be really
heavy arc. I think that we’ll play it
out in the beginning of the year and realize that these characters are there
for each other. What’s great is that we
solve crimes and we do it in an open-end kind of style. We have these
great storylines that these writers provide for us. I don’t think it will be
a major, major, hard season that way.
Q: Will we get to see Booth interact with (his daughter) Christine more this season?
David: Yes, there’s a real touching moment that happens.
I
think that the fans will really enjoy the first episode a lot, and you’ll see
that bond.
It’s something that will be
reflected also through Bones’character and how she sees that.
It’ll be a very impactful moment.I remember shooting it so it’s going to be a
lot of fun and enjoyable.
Emily: It might be in the second episode, We’ve got a lot going on too. You will
see Christine and you will see a bit dealing with what Booth coming back from
prison and all that. There’s so much
we’re dealing with, especially in the first couple episodes. Christine is coming back more and more in
different episodes and we’ll see that.
Q: Being that this case is so big with the government
conspiracy,
will there be a surprise how it unfolds or a shock to it's ending?
David: We've been dealing with this towards the end
of last season. It was kind of started
in episode I think 17--- and it just slowly built and built. It exposed itself in a major ugly way at the
end of the season and then we start off with it again, where I can’t really do
much about it because I’m stuck in prison; but when I do get out, I think that
there will be a sense of closure that will wrap things up in a very neat way,
and it will kind of show it in a way that’s like as, wow, it was right under
our nose the whole time, but how that affects their relationship and how it
affects Booth and whether he continues to work in the FBI is still to be
determined and worked out throughout the first half of the season.
