FRINGE’s J.H. Wyman on the Donald Twist: ‘I Promise There Are Going to be a Lot of Reveals’

After months of teasing, Donald’s identity was revealed in the last new episode of FRINGE…and it was none other than September.

But since they have no idea where he is in 2036, where does Team Fringe go from here?

“Let’s just say that’s not the end of it,” FRINGE showrunner J.H. Wyman teased of the team discovering that their favorite Observer was the one helping Walter come up with a plot to take on the invaders.

Take a look at what else he had to say about the upcoming reveals…

FRINGE: Watch a (Spoilery) Peter-Walter Scene from ‘The Boy Must Live’

I’m torn about the following FRINGE clip being released. On one hand, it’s my absolute favorite scene of the entire antepenultimate episode (and I vaguely mentioned that in my tease post), but it’s also, in my opinion, pretty freaking spoilery. But since Fox released it, clearly they’re OK with it being out there.

So, I’m going to leave it up to you.

I won’t ruin what is said between Peter and Walter in writing.  I won’t blame you if you want to wait the next few days until you can see the episode as a whole. But if you do want a tease, here you go…

FRINGE: Blair Brown on Nina Being the Keeper of Information, Reaching Episode 100, and More

Over the past five seasons of FRINGE, Nina Sharp often was the woman who had the answers the Fringe team needed. Alas, since she’s been mainly MIA this season (her only in-the-flesh presence was in “Five-Twenty-Ten”), much of the wisdom she could be bestowing upon our recently-unambered Fringe team about the 2036 world has been left unsaid.

The good news? Nina is back in the mix with this Friday’s brand new episode, “Anomaly XB-6783746.”

I spoke with Blair Brown (Nina) at the FRINGE 100th episode/series finale event about Nina being the keeper of information, why she can’t really tease what’s to come, and reaching the “slightly miraculous” milestone of 100 episodes…

FRINGE: ‘Through the Looking Glass and What Walter Found There’ Photo Preview

Walter goes on a strange little trip in this week’s episode of FRINGE, and for things to register as being odder than normal on this show, that’s saying something.

Take a look at Friday’s “Through the Looking Glass and What Walter Found There”…

FRINGE: John Noble on ‘Through the Looking Glass and What Walter Found There,’ (Possible) Helpful Observers and the Characters’ Grief

This Friday’s new episode of FRINGE may be partially named for John Noble’s Walter (“Through the Looking Glass and What Walter Found There”…AKA the longest title in FRINGE’s history thus far), but when he talked with reporters on set for the filming the of hour, he was incredibly vague about what actually goes down. Noble was equally vague (but incredibly hilarious) when I questioned whether the team might find assistance in another September-like Observer.

However, Noble was a little more willing to talk about what grief does to the characters we know and love in the fallout from Etta’s death. And as viewers have seen, Peter’s anger and focus has led him down a dark path already.

Take a look at what Noble had to say about FRINGE!

FRINGE: J.H. Wyman on ‘An Origin Story,’ Olivia’s Memories, Bell, Donald, and More

We’re approaching another FRINGE Friday, but this one may be a little more bittersweet than most: following the death of Etta, it sure seems like Peter and Olivia will (understandably) be taking this loss incredibly hard. But there’s still a war to fight and nine more episodes to do it in.

To get a little more insight into what’s to come, I sought out FRINGE showrunner J.H. Wyman. The interview was conducted before Etta’s death, so there aren’t any questions specifically relating to that. However, in hindsight, his answers on the topic of Simon’s fate could shed some light into some of the (possible) reasoning for Etta’s death: “…that’s what we really wanted to get across: that the Observers are not messing around.”

Take a look at more from Wyman, including his teases about “An Origin Story,” Olivia’s memories, Bell, Donald, and more…
