It gained’t be lengthy now earlier than romance lovers with a Netflix subscription are capable of revisit the amorous adventures of Helen, Dana Sue, and Maddie when Candy Magnolias returns for its third season on July 20. Followers will probably recall that the Season 2 ending left Serenity’s residents in some intriguing locations, particularly almost about their romantic prospects, and this was notably true for Helen. Now, star Heather Headley has opened up about her character’s huge determination in Season 3, and it actually does sound like issues are going to be tough for some time.
What Did Heather Headley Say About Helen’s Resolution In Candy Magnolias Season 3?
Seeing as the way it’s been properly over a yr because the second season hit the streamer, it might make sense in the event you can’t fairly keep in mind what Helen’s huge shock was within the finale. After rising nearer than ever to Erik, who spent a lot of the season serving to everybody’s favourite small city lawyer by some intense private troubles, the ultimate minutes noticed Helen’s extraordinarily long-term, on-again/off-again love, Ryan, pop up outta nowhere and suggest to her. When talking to Us Weekly lately, Heather Headley opened up in regards to the selection Helen now has to make in Season 3 and the way it will have an effect on her and her buddies, saying:
Helen has to make some selections alongside the way in which. I believe this season is all in regards to the selection she makes, that journey that she goes by with the selection and the way that type of blows up a bit of bit. And the way that not solely simply blows up in her private and romantic life, however how that had penalties within the women’ lives.
WOW. Alright, the very first thing I seen about her remark is that she’s going to undergo a “journey” with whether or not or not she chooses the utterly unsuitable Ryan or the mainly good (and completely good for her) Erik. This would appear to imply that it’ll take greater than an episode or two for Helen to determine what she needs, which is…ridiculous. I imply, Helen, lady, there’s a motive you and Ryan haven’t been capable of work issues out throughout 20+ years of attempting to be collectively, OK?
Secondly, whereas a call like this might clearly blow up Helen’s world, it doesn’t fairly comply with that the identical can be true of the lives of her fellow Magnolias, Dana Sue and Maddie. They’ve each seen how good their buddy is with Erik, and appear to completely approve of Helen lastly leaving Ryan behind.
So, this makes me suppose that no matter possibility she lands on can have each of her besties reconsidering their very own latest romantic selections ultimately, and/or lead us down a deeper path in terms of digging into the roots of their friendship and what it means for them now, which is one thing JoAnna Garcia Swisher alluded to not way back.
What is good is that it appears that evidently Helen’s journey in Season 3 will lead her nearer to “her mother (Janet Hubert) and her household,” who we’ve by no means seen and don’t know a lot about, in order that viewers lastly get some understanding of who she is and the way she grew up. Although it feels like issues are about to get actually messy for her, Headley did provide a little bit of hope that the state of affairs will work out for the higher by the tip, and added:
No matter occurs after that occurs…She begins with a query mark and ends [with a] interval.
Followers will have the ability to see the way it all shakes out quickly, and right here’s hoping that the ever-intelligent legal professional makes the suitable selection. (Erik. The correct selection is ERIK!)
