PENNY HAPPY ENDINGS TV

I worked on How I Met Your Mother and I thought it would be inconceivable for Barney and Robin to get together. Now do I think Dave and Penny are each other's One Tree Hill, as Alex would say? I'm not sure, but I'd like to see what kind of stories we'd get out of that and what that would mean for Penny and Alex. But I think it would be fun to see Dave and Penny date. Do they feel like they should end up together? Maybe. David Caspe and Josh Bycel told me that Dave and Penny are not the end game. If this is the end, everyone can come up in their minds what happens with all of them. Yeah, and this way the Dave and Alex 'shippers can be happy too. We talked about hints and it felt like it'd be weird. And we knew we couldn't get Dave and Alex broken up and Penny and Dave thinking about each other in that new light all in one season and in one episode no less. We'll probably let the characters tell us whether to go there or not next year, but right now we're not planning on it yet. If you're closely following the show, that's a big piece of unfinished business. Hopefully there'll be plenty of time for that. Groff: We've hinted at this stuff between Dave and Penny, so in the back of our minds we thought we could get to that once Penny breaks up with Pete ( Nick Zano). Are you going to have them date if you come back? Happy Endings boss addresses USA rumors This obviously means you can pair up Dave and Penny, but made no suggestion of that in the finale. We had a couple episodes of her dating early on, like the one with the guy living in Dave and Max's ceiling, but we couldn't do it until we leveled the playing field between her and Dave. Now it'll be fun to see what Alex is like actually dating. But you kind of want people single and out there and keep it mixed up. They're good together, so it's difficult to think of breaking them up. So this season gave a window into their dynamic.

So much of the premise of the show early on was Dave and Alex broke up. Let's have a season of them dating and then break them up. Jonathan Groff: Yeah, we did kind of want to do that. Was that always part of the plan when you got them together last year? So would the show go for it? Get the scoop from Groff on what they have planned if the gang returns next year.

'We wanted to end on a positive note in case this was it.'įall TV 2013 Scorecard: Which shows are returning? Which aren't?The breakup, of course, leaves the door open for a Dave and Penny coupling - if there is a Season 4. Suh cyuht. 'It's a very sweet ending,' executive producer Jonathan Groff tells. At the reception, Dave turns down Alex's offer to be his wingman and dances with her - because he wants to dance with his friend. The little white lie gets out of hand, so they create a new 'news cycle' about Brad ( Damon Wayans Jr.) and Jane ( Eliza Coupe) - no, they are not breaking up nor pregnant and Brad does not have a love child - before everyone learns the truth about the breakup and that Brooke is the one who's pregnant.

As a cover-up, they tell guests that Alex is pregnant.

Except they each tell Penny ( Casey Wilson ) and Max ( Adam Pally), who naturally can't keep a secret and are overheard talking about it.

Happy Endings wrapped up its Season 3 (and possibly series) run Friday the same way the show started: with a Dave ( Zachary Knighton) and Alex ( Elisha Cuthbert) breakup.īut instead of our favorite spacey blonde leaving her betrothed at the altar, this time the two had already split on the down-low and were trying to keep it a secret at the wedding of Alex and Jane's ( Eliza Coupe) sister Brooke ( Stephanie March).
