I already posted about that big spoiler and shocker that was the end of the episode showing Stella Zinman as the mother in HIMYM (perhaps); but now, Ausiello did it again and made an exclusive interview with one of the producers of the Show: Carter Bays:
As it follows:
Is Stella the mother?
CARTER BAYS: I won’t say whether she’s the mother or not, [but] we were definitely very careful in the wording of the narration. Obviously, we’re not going to say, ‘Okay, here she is! Show’s over.”
Was it an intentional fake-out?
BAYS: Nothing’s a fake-out on this show. We established very early on that this is a very windy, twisty story, and the message of the show is there’s a ridiculous series of events that has to happen before this guy meets the woman he marries… I will say this about the next two episodes: Everything will be made clear and it will move the ball forward.
You certainly got people talking.
BAYS: We freaked out a ton of people. We’ve never really kept a big secret from the audience. And what secrets we do have we usually tell people and there are usually spoilers floating around. And this kind of felt like, “Let’s try and do something that takes everyone by surprise and really blow people’s minds.” And I think we did it.
What kind of reaction have you been getting?
BAYS: It seems to be split 50/50; some people loved it but a lot of people really hated it. And I certainly don’t want to tell you that I like it when people hate my show, but knowing where the next two episodes go, I feel like those are both legitimate reactions and both what we were going for.
Does the yellow umbrella belong to Stella?
BAYS: I can’t say one way or the other.
Can you give me a preview of next week’s episode?
BAYS: We’ll reveal why Ted running into her again is such huge moment. He already ran into her once before and didn’t do anything, but this one has more meaning and we’ll find out why next week.
Is it your plan to hold off on confirming the identity of the mother is until the final episode of the series?
BAYS: That’s always been the plan, but obviously we have a lot of options at our fingertips.
Which side of the 50/50 split do you fall on? And how do you think Stella figures into the Mother mystery? Weigh in below! And then check out Ask Ausiello on Thursday to see out what else Bays told me about this season’s final two episodes.
So… what do you think? Is Stella the mother in How I Met Your Mother?
I’m definitely in the other half of the pie, I mean on the one that “hated it”, idk I don’t want Stella as a possible “mother” 😛
I have a theory involving Stella being the next step on the path to meet the “mother”… but I´ll post it soon…
[…] everything´s good!So, everything´s good for How I Met Your Mother! And After the appearance of Stella Zinman back to How I Met Your Mother, there´s no doubt about a […]
I was so peeved at the thought of Stella being the mother. But now that I’ve had time to calm down, I think she will just lead Ted to someone else… Stella being the mother would be too easy. And I think there was an episode when he broke up with Stella and he said “if she were you mother you’d look like this” (and the kids were blonde)… anyone remember that?
