AX: One wish you had told previously, was you wanted to have the story regarding your mother [Cheryl Ladd] resolved – when you got that script, it must have been a thrill.STRAHOVSKI: I really felt that it closed up the Sarah history for me as much as it could have. I was able to have a bit of a Sarah episode going back and finding out who her mother was, why it happened – it really put the pieces of the puzzle together.AX: Did you hear what your back story was, or did you not know until you got that script?STRAHOVSKI: As the season was progressing, I would find out bits of information. I could have asked about the last episode, but I chose not to until the very end. There were only so many scripts left and it’s nice to be surprised when you read a script. Maybe I didn’t want to know, maybe I was in denial of the end. I left it for as long as I could before I found out what the ending would be.
Excellent though Chuck's entire cast is, Strahovski has to be considered the breakout star. Her character, Sarah Walker, was immediately propelled into the nerd high consciousness, and not just for her willingness to indulge the Buy More wind machine. As we bid a fond farewell to the series, let's take a moment to pay tribute to this generation's Emma Peel.
Adam Baldwin and Yvonne Strahovski talked with reporters together, and the bond we’ve seen between Sarah and Casey in the last couple of seasons is clearly there off-screen as well. Yvonne was trying to keep it together as she talked about the end of Chuck, while Adam was more pragmatic but very complimentary about his co-star
Yvonne: I can’t stop crying. I’ve cried every day this whole month. I cried yesterday. I’ve just been crying every single day. I’m going to cry now. It’s horrible. I cried yesterday. I did my last fight scene ever.
Q: Adam’s been through this. Do you have advice for Yvonne?Adam: She’s going on to bigger and better things. She doesn’t have anything to cry about. She’s got all the phone numbers and emails. She’ll see us around, once in a while.
Yvonne: Once in a while.
Adam: Down the road. That’s the funny thing about Hollywood. Yvonne walked off a plane into a family here and a new working atmosphere and now she’s got her feet dug into Los Angeles and she’s established and she’s going to be around for a long time. It’s really great to see nice people succeed.
Yvonne: That was very nice. Thank you. I’m going to cry.
"I can't stop crying. I cried every day, this whole month," Yvonne Strahovski says. "I've just been crying every single day. I'm going to cry now. It's horrible. I cried yesterday when I did my last fight scene ever."
Adam Baldwin, however, was remaining true to his stoic character of John Casey -- at least in front of a gaggle of reporters.
"Casey doesn't cry. I think Casey goes out with a bang, or so I've been told," Baldwin says. He does allow that the end of the series is "emotional," but he's pretty happy with "Chuck's" five-year run.
And Yvonne sometimes gets to be funny and sometimes not, and there are a lot of different moving parts on the show. It does feel like these last couple of seasons - basically since she and Chuck got together - there has been a little bit more of funny Sarah. I don’t know. Has that been your feeling?Chris Fedak: Absolutely, absolutely, I think that starting off the show when we first got into it we looked at Yvonne to be the anchor for the spy side of the show, funny, romantic-Josh Schwartz Soulful.Chris Fedak: -soulful, able to do the action scenes, to carry a gun, sit on a roof with wind blowing in a miniskirt and still be amazing. She can do all that. I think the discovery over—like Gomez in season three learning about Chuck’s spy life and finding another gear, the fact that Sarah and Chuck are really good together and also that Sarah is very funny - like her doing that Texas accent in "the Honeymooners" episode. For the life of me I tried to get that into the show, into the finale, but just didn’t have time for it, but she is so funny.
In the two-hour series finale Friday (8/7c, NBC), however, Sarah (Strahovski) threatens to break that heart after disastrous events in the last episode. In an attempt to save Chuck's (Levi) life, she had downloaded the faulty Intersect, which rapidly caused her memories to deteriorate. "Before we're able to get it out of her head, the damage is done," Levi explained. "She's kidnapped by Quinn and kind of reprogrammed." Her new orders? Kill Chuck Bartowski.
