But count me in on the side where I believe what JMo is saying and not assuming she is lying.
I think lying is the wrong word. It’s PR. It’s not necessarily a lie, just a heightened narrative to sell what she is being told to sell, either literally told or subconsciously told. JMo’s not blind or dumb so she knows the show and writers are going full CS in the text and she knows ABC enjoys promoting Hook and CS. Ergo, she knows that to toe the line she needs to make sure she stays in that line. It could be that she doesn’t mind CS as such, but found SF a more powerful story but because of BTS politics/change in direction she just has to make sure she sells what she’s being told to sell and keep her own tastes in check, except for smaller moments.
And I don’t blame her. Anytime JMo has said anything positive about SF or even SQ, good lord the fandom explodes. You guys remember SDCC in between S2 and S3 when she, MRJ and Colin were interviewed together and JMo joked “all my ships are here on the couch with me!” neglecting Lana/SQ and she actually had to tweet out a pseduo-apology after the fact?
Or when JMo said that Neal was such a true love for Emma? She was blasted by the other side and it was “well, JMo is just saying that to appease SF shippers!”
There’s a through-line in the fandom that SQ shippers are delusional and SF shippers are bitter. And hey, maybe so. But surely we can say that CSers are entitled. They want just their ship, all the time, without even acknowledging anything that remotely flies in the face of CS being less than what they feel it is. Take a look at what happened post renewal and post JMo’s announcement. There were movements to get Colin his own show, focusing on Hook in NVL or FTL prior to Milah and there was a huge push to have the show cancelled or to at least fall flat on its face without CS.
Fandom dynamics are never cut and dry and actors responses to the program and to the fandom are also never cut and dry.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"There is a con last year, before 512 aired, and when asked what were her fave scene from 512, she said she could not spoiled, but that people would see which was bc u would be able to see it on her face how much she enjoyed it, and that was at the beginning of the episode( and what scene was at the beginning of the episode??? the Sf one), However whne asked the same question after the episode aired on ABc official cons and articles, she said her faved scene from that episode was when Emma sees Hook, that she said was very emotional so was her fav.
Not to mention that are people really believe that JMo in TV line article about her departure, said her fav storylines/moments on the show, was dark swan and the hook and emma story? So she suddenly doesn`t love her S1 scenes, when she meets Hnery, when emma kisses him and everyone gets their memories and when she gets to see her parents as her parents? by the way JMo always said those scenes were important to Emma story, however, now she mentioned nothing like that.
So which part is really true, to cons where ABc has no power she says one thing, however to articles and official abc supported cons she says the opposite, and also Jmo even said it last year on SDCC that the cast had a list of topics that could not talk and a list of what things they could tell, this is very telling.

Sorry if this is completely off topic guys…but finally, a season finale has made me happy!
The Queen of Media is back on Supergirl, and it’s the best thing to happen all season!!!
Desperately praying CW’s able to keep her…like the entire last season of Supergirl, there has been a void…and the minute Calista Flockhart returned, it felt as if the void was filled!
Welcome Home Cat Grant!!!

100% cried when Cat said “go get them, Supergirl”
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I hope Cat becomes Lena’s mentor next season. Lena needs a mother figure and Cat just needs to be involved. They can show them Skyping, which they can film without Calista being on site.
I personally don’t believe JMo is as on board with CS as those shippers want to believe and that largely comes down to the way she plays Emma (including dress and makeup) in a CS scene vs in a non-CS scene. And often times the way an actor plays something will let you know how they really feel.
This.
Bobby doing his best work all season with the actor playing his son, and sorta phoning it in elsewhere, as an example
And with Emilie.

YES!
Another great post by Screwball about the decreased quality of the show over the seasons.

Yes I thought that was incredibly insightful.

Yeah that was really great.
