Executive Producers Hart Hanson and Stephen Nathan Talk The Finder and Bones (Interview)
Apr 5, 2012
Bones Cancelled ShowsQuestion: Will the FBI become an obstacle for Booth and Brennan at work, especially now that they’re going to have the baby and be living together?
HART HANSON: We’re not planning a storyline in which the FBI says, “You can’t be partners.” We discussed it and then we thought, “God, if we tell that story, there isn’t a single audience member who’s going to go, ‘Oh, my God, I wonder if they’ll never be allowed to work together again.’” So, we just decided not to do that. It may come up, from time to time, especially from Sweets, that it’s odd to have a couple working together, but it’s not the oddest thing in the world.
STEPHEN NATHAN: I think the most important thing for us is to keep the show on the same footing it’s been on for seven years, which is that this is a murder show, and Booth and Brennan are always going to be working together to solve these murders. We don’t ever intend to take that away. That’s not to say that it won’t be incredibly difficult for them, but it won’t be because of any bureaucratic nonsense that will make it difficult. It’ll just be them working together, and the difficulties they have working together, as they always have.

ReplyDeleteI wondered about the FBI putting the kibosh on Booth and Brennan as partners. I'm glad they'll keep making references to it, since it has to be something they'd call in to question, but I think they're going to be stronger than ever.
ReplyDeleteThe only reason I haven't been annoyed by them getting Booth and Brennan together is because Brennan is not an FBI agent. There are regs about two agents or cops or soldires getting together ..which is why it makes me nuts when fans start crying for partners to hook up. But, I don't think there are regs with regard to a consultant. So, it never occurred to me there'd be an issue.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely wouldn't be as big of an issue as it would with partners in the same profession, but I guess there's always the possibility of them bringing their home life and domestic problems on the job, which might prevent them from working well together and could potentially compromise a case. (Wow, that was a looooong sentence)
ReplyDeleteThen again, they're both incredibly professional and focused in their own ways, so I can't ever see it legitimately being a problem - but it might be for some of the higher-ups.
