Damian Hardung Reveals How 'Maxton Hall' Season 2 Originally Ended Amid Shocking Ruby and James Twist

Transcript

00:00the season ends with everything going well for about 10 minutes and then it all falls apart

00:04it's just max in a nutshell isn't it i was just like i was re-watching the episode last night i

00:08was like yeah wait this is like we're going it's like maybe it'll end on a happy note everything's

00:12just going well i don't know why i deluded myself into thinking that they did that originally like

00:16originally the season two was gonna end on a happy note it was gonna like not a happy happy

00:20like we're gonna have a foreshadowing it's gonna end with us happily walking across the yard of

00:25the school and then just graham yeah being um being presented by that to that photo yeah and

00:32that would have been it then we all saw it at the screen and everyone of the cast was like uh

00:37no we want to have the emotional impact on on on the couple and on lydia and let's see graham um

00:44and so i put it back in and i'm really happy because i feel like that kind of reflects the

00:50cliffhanger also at the end of season one yeah which was for me still one of the best cliffhangers

00:55there is because it's like you always you kind of like have a low point but at the same time you

00:59have hope yeah so it's both layers i mean that's fair but that was going to be my question like

01:04how would you say james and ruby are heading into season three because it does feel like obviously

01:08everything's falling apart but they seem to be a united front so is that how we're kind of finally

01:12i mean three might start off with something else hopefully not but what would you like to say or

01:19see or like what are you hoping for them when we start off on season three are they now in a better

01:24place where they can handle everything together i mean that'd be my hope for them right they've

01:28been through so much uh after all this like what else can there be that you tell me what else can

01:35there be so i feel like it's more about like and that's why the third book is called save us because

01:39it's then about the two of them actually being together fighting against the outer world because

01:44as we've seen in the second season more of us up to not so much good and what would you say makes

01:48harriet such a good seeing partner especially in season two now that you've kind of built a rapport

01:52you know each other and it does kind of feel like your partner in crime in this as this continues

01:56to blow up it's just wonderful to have on my side truly um because also as it is blowing up it can be

02:03at times like a lonely experience because who's sharing that same right that you're on and it's

02:08definitely her and so she can relate to a lot of the stuff that is happening nowadays and like just going

02:14through the world and being recognized everything everywhere that's something that

02:16in a way she just truly understands and it's and it's

02:23it's really important i feel like to have people around you that you just know understand you

02:28without words and within the scenes to come back to the first part of your question

02:34i think it's lovely to to that that we're at a point where we know each other so well

02:38that just by looking at her eyes i know like is she in the present moment is she in the scene or is

02:44she lacking something is she like not giving a hundred percent so we can always push each other

02:51like above the hundred percent like uh just just because we know oh there's still something left like

02:55you can go a bit further and i think uh that tendency of both of us to to yet don't let each other

03:02out easily yeah um it's what helps us to do these scenes
