Here's some scoop on Empire from this week's (Posted on 3/24/15) Ask Ausiello column.
Question: I’m still reeling from the Empire finale — and the fact that Rhonda killed Vernon. Any scoop to tide me over ’til Season 2? —Ryan
Ausiello: According to showrunner Ilene Chaiken, the decision to bump off Malik Yoba’s alter-ego “wasn’t calculated” or cooked up early in the season — nor did anyone in the writers’ room say, “Wouldn’t it be cool if it was the white woman” whodunnit. “Once our story took us there, though, we certainly felt like this was a great and interesting opportunity. And whatever happens, whether Rhonda and Andre get discovered or not, there are going to be some thematic repercussions of that action,” Chaiken adds. In any event, it’s good news for fans of the twisted-but-dedicated couple, who appeared to be on the verge of a Jennifer Hudson-related split heading into the finale. “We love that Andre-Rhonda dynamic, and whether they’re coming back together in the way they were before, or whether they have to renegotiate their relationship, is really interesting to us. We also have to look at whether or not Andre’s [religious] conversion, if that’s indeed what it is, plays into it,” Chaiken teases. “But we definitely love the both of them, and we love them together.”
Question: Have we seen the last of Naomi Campbell on Empire? Camilla’s scenes with Cookie were pure gold! —Greg
Ausiello: Oh, Greg, we couldn’t agree more. That’s why we put that exact question to Chaiken — especially since, with Lucious in jail, Campbell’s Camilla has no reason not to rekindle her romance with his son Hakeem. “Did you just jump into my brain?” the showrunner asks with a chuckle. “It’s certainly a possibility — and a very alluring one.” In other words, we might get to see Yoko playing that tambourine after all!
