Here's some scoop on Bones from TVGuide's Natalie Abrams' Mega Buzz column, which was posted on 3/11/14.

Is Bones planning to do anything to honor the passing of Ralph Waite, who played Booth's grandfather? — Mandy
Executive producer Stephen Nathan says the show's creative team definitely wants to pay tribute to the erstwhile John Walton. Unfortunately, the show's big plans for Booth at the end of the season complicated matters. "We couldn't really do it justice this season," Nathan says. "At this point, we're under such pressure to finish the year. To rip apart a story and do a half-baked attempt at it seemed to be disrespectful to us." But Nathan remains optimistic about some sort of acknowledgement in the future. "We want to honor Ralph and his existence in our family in the right way, and we'll try to find a way to do that next year," Nathan says.
