If they care about Rue, hopefully they can extend that to the real people who need that just as much.” “We flipped it around and make it much more positive and beautiful because, I think, that is my greatest hope for her and that is my greatest hope for anyone watching that has a loved one like Rue. “We were, like, there needs to be a new ending to this show,” she noted.
