‘The Way Home’ Bosses Reveal What Would’ve Happened in Season 5

As mother and daughter executive producers Heather Conkie and Alexandra Clarke told TV Insider ahead of the season, The Way Home series finale did leave us with some questions. To get those answers, TV Insider spoke with them about what could’ve happened next, if there had been a Season 5. Warning: Spoilers for The Way Home series finale ahead!
As the finale revealed, Elliot (Evan Williams) survived being shot in 1926 and once both he and Kat (Chyler Leigh) were home in the present, he proposed and said yes; Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow) is looking ahead to the future, one that could include Max (Dale Whibley); Del (Andie MacDowell), after getting a bit more time with Colton (Jefferson Brown) thanks to the pond is ready to move forward with Sam (Rob Stewart); and Jacob (Spencer MacPherson) married Abby (Holly Deveaux), and KC (Vaughan Murrae) is their child from the future. Plus, Kat and Alice end the series jumping into the pond, but when they end up remains a mystery.
Below, Clarke and Conkie answer some of our finale burning questions and reveal what would’ve happened in Season 5. (Read the rest of our interview with the executive producers about the series’ ending here.)
Did you ever seriously consider killing Elliot off?
Alexandra Clarke: No. I mean, I think even if we’d had a Season 5 — I think if we’d had a Season 5, we would have ended Season 4 on is he alive or is he dead versus what we had to do. But no, that journey, the arc of those two characters, especially if we’d only gotten to Season 5 and he’d been dead, and it was one season of Kat grieving and then bye. No, we would never.
Why the mystery around Nick’s (Kerry James) Claire and Alice meeting her?
Clarke: [Laughs]
Heather Conkie: That’s us being cheeky because there are some who actually think that Alice is Claire and vice versa. We left that open.
Clarke: We leave it open because you never know. There’s never say never, as we say, never say never. And we were just being very cheeky.
You could easily continue telling more stories in this world, like with these characters, with that ending or picking up with other Landrys. So what can you say about that possibility? Have there been any discussions, and what would you want to explore with the characters if you revisited them?
Clarke: We always talk about it, of course we do, and especially our cast, they’re all asking —
Conkie: And they all have their own ideas.
Clarke: Yeah, exactly. Yes, you’re right. I think there is plenty of room for more story, and yeah, we did have a Season 5 that we thought of initially as sort of part of the plan. So, yeah, I guess I keep wanting to say never say never, but look, I’m just so flattered that people have become so invested that that’s something they’re asking about.
Conkie: Yeah, it’s amazing. It tells us a lot about how people feel about the show. They take it very, very personally. I think this show has given a lot of people an insight into their own lives and I think that it’s a universal truth that they are facing because of the show and that five more minutes, who wouldn’t want that? We want five more minutes.
Clarke: I will say it’s been really amazing recently, I think in these last couple of episodes, people have reached out, and I read them all, and they’re all so beautiful about how the show touched them, whether it was because they were suffering from depression or lost a family member or were feeling really alone in a new town. Honestly, they’re all just such beautiful stories of how this show kind of took them and kept them company in really dark moments. And it’s amazing. And I think we can say the same about it. I mean, life is life, and there have been moments with Mom and I where personally we’ve been going through rough stuff as the show is being made, and it’s been a lifeline for us as well. It’s so touching to know that it’s been a lifeline for others.
So, what would Season 5 have looked like?
[Both laugh]
Conkie: You’re not going to let that go, are you?
Well, you brought it up.
Conkie: I would have loved to have spent more time with the Jacob love story, see it grow a little more. And I would have loved to have spent a little more time with the Max Alice love story, and, of course, the Elliot Kat story. And I would have loved to have seen the Del and Sam relationship move forward now that she knows she can and wants to. It would have been lovely.
Clarke: I would have loved to have seen the Griffin [Charles Vandervaart] and Tessa [Kelsey Falconer] of it all, leading up to the jump a little more as well as what life looked like for them when they landed, and seeing the Landry family in that era, which is — Susanna [Watson Rose] is gone by then, so it’s the next generation and seeing Tessa be taken into the homestead. We see a little sampling of it in Episode 8, but it would have been very cool to basically see why Tessa became Tessa.
Conkie: There’s so many possibilities, too. I would have loved to have seen younger Fern with Cassandra and their friendship and how that grew —
Clarke: A little Grayson and a little Cassandra.
Conkie: A little power-hungry Grayson.
Clarke: I mean, but that’s the thing, it’s so rich. It’s such a beautiful world, and there’s so many lovely eras. Yeah, it would have been great. But I think for the time that we had and the direction we wanted to take this year, I’m really proud of what we were able to show.
Once you knew this was the last season, you realized, OK, we need to build to the end, did you scrap anything that you had planned for Season 4 or is anything over the years that you had scrapped that you can talk about, significant storylines?
Conkie: I think everything we really knew was important we accomplished. Everything that we didn’t do, you put it out of your mind because it takes you down the wrong path, and you can get stuck in it. And that’s some of the hardest parts.
Clarke: I know one that we knew we couldn’t end up doing, which was seeing Rita in the ‘80s. Del sort of briefly mentions it at the lunch with everyone in Episode 8 that she met this new girl Rita at art school and she’s a hoot and everything. We would’ve loved to have seen Rita join those kitchen parties and see the young version of Rita. That would’ve been really fun.
Conkie: That would’ve been hard to cast.
Clarke: But that went away for sure in the writer’s room, knowing that time was of the essence.
You had said that if there had been a Season 5, Season 4 could have had the cliffhanger of is Elliot alive or dead? So would you just have stretched out the existing storylines in Season 4 and not added another one in to get to that 10 episodes?
Clarke: Yeah. I mean, I think we were really aware if we’d gotten that Season 5 that that in all likelihood would’ve been it. And so our plan would have been to not introduce a new era. But our model has always been you introduce an era, and then the next season, it takes the B story. And so we introduced the ‘20s in Season 4. We would’ve done B story of the ‘20s in Season 5, but not delved into another era necessarily. Maybe hinted at things, but really kind of just do a fuller look at the era as we already know.
Say this is it, and we don’t get to revisit the characters. What do you imagine is next for Kat, Elliot, Alice, Del, and Jacob?
Conkie: I think Alice will become a star. She’ll take off —
Clarke: “Already Home”‘s going to go to the top of the charts.
Conkie: Beautiful. And I think that Sam and Del would maybe not get married, but certainly be together in a much more modern relationship as opposed to tying the knot. Elliot and Kat would definitely have gotten married. I would’ve liked to have seen her get pregnant again because he brought it up at some point and she said, “It’s still something we can discuss. It’s up for discussion.” Let’s do it. I would’ve loved to have seen that. I would’ve loved to have seen more detail on Jacob as a dad and what happened to K.C.’s mom.
Clarke: In my perfect mind, what are they doing right now? I think they’re doing exactly what we would expect them to be doing, which is when Alice isn’t off chasing her dreams in New York and really fully realizing her potential there and when Jacob isn’t running that farm with Danny [Peyson Rock] and coming home to Abby at the end of the day in the Landry Farm and Kat and Elliot are over at Elliot’s house living their best life, I think they’re going down to that pond. I just don’t think that will ever go away. But in our mind, Del and Sam are traveling. I think Del deserves a little time off. Del deserves a vacation. I can picture them on a river cruise. I don’t know why, but that’s very Del and Sam.
I think what I like about the way that you’re in the series is there’s more of a joy and a lightness to the way that they can use the pond going forward, that they’re not weighed down by the past now. It’s kind of just like they can enjoy what’s coming up for them when they jump in there.

‘The Voice’ Finalist Josh Sanders Locked In Nasty Custody Battle With Estranged Wife
Josh Sanders went from fighting to win “The Voice” to fighting for custody of his kids … in what’s shaping up to be an incredibly messy legal battle with his estranged wife.
Josh and his estranged wife, Kendra, have been going at it over their three children after separating back in January … according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
In his court filings, Josh claims he should have custody because his ex is trying to turn the kids against him … and says she’s keeping him from co-parenting. He also claims one of the kids has said she wants to live with him.
But Kendra countered by alleging Josh is an “active alcoholic” who she says “drank away” his professional opportunities after coming in second on “The Voice” two years ago.
She also claims he’s driven drunk with the kids in the car and been violent in front of them.
Kendra argued that Josh is only fit for supervised visitation and insists she should have primary custody because she can “provide a stable, loving, alcohol free home” for the kids.
The whole thing is messy … according to arrest records, Josh was arrested in April for violating a domestic violence temporary restraining order. And earlier this month, Josh filed a trespassing complaint against Kendra.

Rumor Roundup: Forbidden Door uncertainty, Liv Morgan concern, AAA, more!
Start the work week with a few rumors.
Lead Rumor: Forbidden Door uncertainty
AEW will hold its Forbidden Door pay-per-view this coming weekend, but there has been some uncertainty for talent regarding the show. That’s according to Fightful Select, who indicate multiple wrestlers from AEW, NJPW, and CMLL didn’t know what they will be doing on the show at least as of this past week’s episode of Dynamite.
It’s worth pointing out, however, that Fightful was told this “isn’t out of the ordinary, and they’ll find out their matches the week of the show.”
Amidst the uncertainty is Gabe Kidd’s status. New Japan expected him to be a big part of the show this year but it’s unclear if that will be the case. That’s because AEW is playing it close to the vest.
Hey, a lot of times it’s better when we don’t know, right?
Other rumors floating around
Videos made the rounds of Liv Morgan appearing to take a bad hit to the lower leg at a house show, sparking injury concerns. She appeared to walk out fine, however, and there has been no update of any issue.
Damian Priest appeared at the AAA taping this past weekend, and it’s possible he is the former world champion General Manager Rey Mysterio was teasing recently.
False Finish says AAA received the blessing of the family of Perro Aguayo Jr. to use the Perros del Mal name before the group made its return on June 20.
There are plans to use Thea Hail in EVOLVE in the near future, per False Finish.
They also say some within WWE and AAA believe Xena will be coming in once she finishes up with Stardom early next month.
An update on Private Party: Fightful says they actually sustained the same injury in the same match on March 28. Still no word on when the two will return, however.
Get in on this, y’all.

Britney Spears shares heartfelt dream of becoming mom again
Britney Spears expressed her desire to experience motherhood once again!
On June 21, which was also celebrated as Father’s Day around the world, the 44-year-old popstar took to her Instagram to mark the day.

The Toxic singer posted a video of herself dancing in a yellow slip dress and black boots while she completed her look with a fedora hat. Spears was also holding a tiny guitar.
As the songstress was showing her bold moves, one strap of her dress fell off.
However, in the caption Spears penned down an emotional note, sharing she wants another child.
”It’s an emotional day for me, guitars remind me of baby aliens,, such gentle strings,,, music is said to be the speech of angels,” She began.
Then, referring to the small guitar she was holding, Spears revealed she bought the musical instrument with a third kid in her mind.
She added, “I bought this one in Mexico in hopes one day I can have another baby.”
Spears, in another post, showed off her moves and twirled around wearing a long black dress.
It is pertinent to mention that Spears is already a mother to two sons, Sean Preston, who is 20 years old, and Jayden James, who is 19 years old.
Spears shares her sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
This came a few months after Britney was arrested in March for driving under the influence. Later, a source revealed to PageSix she is “doing really well” after a less than one-month stint in rehab.
The insider said, She’s healthy and happy and feeling very positive and excited to start afresh. Rehab was a great opportunity for her to ground herself,” the insider told the outlet in April.
Spears has been active on her socials after taking a brief break following her DUI arrest.

The Way Home Series Finale Ending Explained
The Landry family took one last dip in the pond on Sunday with the heartbreaking, century spanning series finale of Hallmark Channel’s “The Way Home.”
Let’s dive right in with two of the finale’s most anticipated moments: Casey is revealed to be Jacob and Abby’s child from the future, and Elliot finally gets around to putting a ring on Kat’s finger. Is it the perfectly timed proposal he envisioned? Maybe not, but if there’s one thing this show has taught us, it’s that timing is rarely perfect.
Naturally, the pond also plays a key role in the finale, providing the happiest endings possible for some of the show’s more tragic storylines: Fern goes back one day to tell Cliff about her pregnancy, so at least he would know he was going to be a father before dying in the mines; Jacob returns to 1820 to check in with his old family, who help him release his anger towards the pond and embrace his future with Abby; Del jumps back to 1999 for one last dance with Colton, giving her the closure she needs to move forward with Sam; and Elliot learns that his mother actually survived the explosion.
Alice also gives a long-overdue apology to Evelyn for essentially gaslighting her all these years, then encourages her to reconnect with Max. Speaking of Max, even though Alice chooses to prioritize herself moving forward, she still confesses her feelings for Max before she leaves for college.
It all culminates sometime in the future with the town’s founding families coming together for Jacob and Abby’s wedding, along with a few familiar faces from the past watching (spiritually) from the sidelines. But it doesn’t end with the exchanging of vows; before the finale cuts to black, we’re left with Kat and Alice jumping back into the pond for another adventure. After all, “every ending is a new beginning.”
Below, “The Way Home” showrunners Heather Conkie and Alexandra Clarke answers some of TVLine’s burning questions about the series finale, including the story behind Casey’s big reveal, why we didn’t get to see Kat and Elliot’s wedding, and what time the ladies might be off to next.
TVLINE | For a family drama, this show is incredibly complicated, with a lot of unanswered questions to keep track of. What was your biggest challenge in putting this finale together?
CONKIE | [Laughs] Keeping track of it! I remember Alex [Clarke] making a list of all the outstanding questions, and it was so long. I said, “How are you going to do that?”
CLARKE | Exactly, “how are you going to do that?” Because then I had to go write it! [Laughs] No, it was a labor of love. We did make a list, and we are so grateful to Hallmark that they gave us extra time to answer the questions that needed to be answered. I don’t know how we would have done it in the time that we normally have, which is 41 minutes and 57 seconds. We had about 20 more minutes this time, which was so incredible and such a gift.
TVLINE | I wouldn’t say you gave everyone a “happy” ending, but for characters like Fern, was your goal to give them the happiest ending you possibly could, given how we know their futures turn out?
CLARKE | Yes, and it’s such an important thing to stay true to your rules that you set when you’re dealing with this kind of a show. You can’t break them. What happened will always happen. Colton died. I know a lot of fans ask, “Why can’t they bring him back to life somehow?” And as much as we are a bit of a fantasy show, we’re not that much of a fantasy show. We’re trying to be as real as possible with this beautiful gift of time travel in this little pond on their property. So I think you’re exactly right, we needed to give the best possible endings that also stayed true to the rules and true to what our characters really needed.
Del, through all four seasons, has never had that closure with Colton. They were at odds when he passed away, then she found out the money was all gone, and she thought he was having an affair. She thought that for 20 years until Kat came home and started to solve these mysteries. Anyone she’s met, be it Byron or Sam, she has subconsciously held them at arm’s length because she’s never been able to say the words she needed to say to Colton, which were that she’s sorry for not trusting him. And she’s never been able to hear the words from Colton that are so key in that scene, which are, “Please be happy. Be happy for me.” Now that she’s gotten that, I think her story can really begin.
CONKIE | It certainly wasn’t a happy ending for young Fern, but she got her five more minutes, and Kat was able to do that for her. That scene is heartbreaking, and the actress [Bianca Melchior] is just stunning in it. She does such a good job pretending everything is fine, knowing this is her last time to see him. So I think that’s her form of a happy ending, because she did get that moment with him and he knew he was going to be a dad.
CLARKE | From the happy ending perspective, we’ve all been rooting for Elliot and Kat through the seasons, and to see that proposal, to see the ring go on her finger, that was such a beautiful moment to shoot. It felt like this perfect way — in an imperfect way — to finish that story for them. That was a really lovely moment to write. The other one is the Jacob and Abby of it all. Seeing Jacob find peace and love in present day, and seeing him feel like he finally fits somewhere after so long, was a really lovely moment.
TVLINE | Yeah, let’s talk about Jacob and Abby. I loved seeing everyone, past and present, at their wedding. Just to be clear, they weren’t physically there, right? They didn’t all jump forward to attend the wedding?
CLARKE | [Laughs] No. On our show, we have flashbacks, we figments, and echoes. A flashback is when we go back in time and remember a moment; an echo is when you’re in a space and remember something happening there in the past, and that figure kind of runs in and out; and a figment is something we conjure up in our mind to help us when we’re missing someone. Del has had a lot of figments of Colton on the show, and Kat had a very infamous one with with Thomas down at the pond. So those are figments. They’re there because our characters are imagining that they couldn’t do this wedding without them.
TVLINE | OK, I thought so, but I didn’t know if you just decided to throw out the rulebook at the very end.
CLARKE | [Laughs] Can you imagine? … Surprise!
CONKIE | The rule book was thrown into the pond.
TVLINE | And now we know that Casey is Jacob and Abby’s child! The fans have been cooking up a lot of theories about Casey over the seasons. Have you had fun seeing what everyone has guessed?
CLARKE | Yes, it’s crazy.
CONKIE | And we actually played with different things in the first couple of seasons. We went back and forth a couple of times. But it was the thing we wanted to do for sure. And then when we cast [Holly Deveaux] as Abby, I mean, she had the blue eyes and pale skin. And there’s Jacob with his blue eyes and pale skin.
CLARKE | We were actually worried it was giving it away too much, but at the same rate, the chemistry between Holly and Spencer was just too good. We couldn’t pass it up. But yeah, we were very worried when Holly came on board that the jig would be up very fast. It’s been really fun to see the various theories about who Casey could be, how they play into the family, and just how far in the future they’re from. Hopefully people are satisfied with the actual answer to that.
TVLINE | Does Casey actually go by Goodwin, or was that just a name they used to throw people off their trail?
CLARKE | That’s just what they say to everyone there because they’re well-versed in the rules of the pond, what you can and can’t do as a time traveler, and the etiquette of not telling someone their future. If they wanted to be part of Kat’s life when they came in as an intern, they couldn’t say their last name was Landry because that would immediately tell everyone that they’re part of their future. Casey was very sneaky and very smart that first season. I think what’s so great is that it tells the audience that in Casey’s time, the pond is not a secret. The pond is very similar to how Fern was raised. It’s a constant dialogue in the family. It tells the audience that Kat, Alice, and Jacob have made sure that the lore is a part of the dialogue now, rather than being this secret.
TVLINE | It was wonderful to finally see Kat and Elliot get engaged, but I’m sure the fans would have enjoyed a wedding as well. Did you ever consider taking us all the way down the aisle with them?
CLARKE | We considered everything when we first realized it was going to be a finale finale, but I think Jacob’s wedding bizarrely outweighed Kat and Elliot’s in that it gave us the most closure about what’s going happen with all of these families moving forward. All three founding families are part of that wedding, and they’re finally all at peace with one another.
We really did explore this season, in the ’70s and ’80s, that there was this really beautiful time when it was Vic, Tessa, Dylan, Colton, and Evelyn around the kitchen table having kitchen parties — and then it all fell apart. To see these founding families all come together for this wedding was a really important thing for us to leave the audience with. There’s peace there. There’s love there. There’s a lovely foundation again, and that’s a result of Jacob and Abby getting married. So he was kind of “The One” all over again. He was the one that saved the family and made it able to exist, and then he was the one who brought all the feuding families together.
TVLINE | And what can you say about what the future holds for Alice and Max now that they’ve expressed how they feel about one another?
CONKIE |It’s hard to know at that age. Have you heard of a turkey dump?
CLARKE | It’s this idea that high school sweethearts leave for college, they sort of go off in their own worlds, then they come back for Thanksgiving and someone gets dumped because there’s been this thing of freedom in the college life.
CONKIE | There could be a turkey dump in her future, who knows!
CLARKE | What’s nice is, regardless of the fact that they kissed, regardless of the fact that they do end up expressing this desire for one another, Alice chooses herself. She goes to New York. We were very careful at the wedding not to have them coupled up. They’re on either sides of the aisle, and yes they share a really lovely smile, but it’s up to the audience to interpret whether that means they’re together or it means they’ve just kept in touch. They were really good friends, and I think Max says it best: “I’ll be wherever you need me to be, but the road you’re on leads to you, not me.” I think that’s exactly how they go into college. He’s in Toronto and she’s in New York. If their roads them back to each other, great, but if they don’t, OK.
CONKIE | I think it would be very cool if they were together and living at Lingermore eventually.
TVLINE | The finale leaves us on a cliffhanger of sorts, with Kat and Alice jumping back into the pond. Where are they headed? Do you even know, or was that just a fun way to close out the series?
CLARKE | We have our idea of where they wound up for sure, but that scene was always going to be the way our show was going to end, with the idea that they’re going to go on another adventure. They’re going to go on another jump, we just don’t get to go with them this time. We wanted to leave it open-ended in that way. This was never going to be a show that ended by saying, “Well, that’s it for the pond. Thanks, we got what we needed.”
CONKIE | Not even if they wanted to. They’re completely addicted [to it].
CLARKE | It was important for us to show that that was going to continue. They’ve made such beautiful relationships in all these different eras, there was no world where they would just walk away. So to have them jump at the end and say that an ending is just another beginning was so important to us because we want people to come away from it thinking that they’re still doing that.

Inside Nicole Kidman’s star-studded NYC birthday celebration with daughters Sunday and Faith
Nicole Kidman made sure her 59th birthday was one to remember!
The Hollywood actress spent the day in New York City with her two daughters, Sunday, 17, and Faith, 15, soaking up the city’s atmosphere and enjoying a trip to Broadway in the evening.
The trio went along to watch Mariska Hargitay in her Broadway debut in Every Brilliant Thing, where they met up with fellow celebrities Rosie O’Donnell and Orfeh.
Orfeh and Rosie shared a group photo on social media featuring Nicole, Rosie, Orfeh and Mariska in the bar at the Hudson Theatre.
Rosie wrote next to the picture: “GREAT night out with @orfeh to see @therealmariskahargitay in her brilliant broadway debut – ran in to the stunning @nicolekidman and her beautiful daughters – what a wonderful night in New York!”
Orfeh wrote alongside it: “There is literally and officially NOOO THING therealmariskahargitay cannot do. And seeing her last night in @brilliantbway (her Broadway debut) PROVED it…and then some. Mariska is astoundingly phenomenal, funny, fearless, moving, and completely commanding. With only two weeks left, if you can find a ticket, grab it immediately & SPRINT to see her.

“And when this run ends, I’d like to formally request that she return to Broadway again and again for the rest of time. “@rosie and I left the theater completely obsessed, and also delighted to spend the evening with our newest BFF, birthday girl @nicolekidman.”
Nicole has primary custody of her daughters, Sunday and Faith, who she shares with ex-husband Keith Urban. Her 59th birthday marked her first since their divorce, and Keith proved that the couple were on good terms after sharing a public message wishing the actress a happy birthday.
This was the first time Keith had made reference to Nicole since their split – which was announced in September 2025 and finalized in January 2026. He wrote on Instagram Stories: “Happy birthday Nicole Mary.”
Nicole briefly touched upon their split earlier this year. In March, she made a rare public comment about how she was feeling in the aftermath of the separation.
“I’m good. I’m holding steady,” she told The Age Australia. “That’s a good place to be able to say,” she added. Discussing the breakdown of her marriage during an interview with Variety in March, Nicole noted that 2025 was a difficult year for her. “I was quiet. I had other things going on. I was in my shell.”
The award-winning actress was asked if she was doing okay following her split, to which she replied: “I am, because I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good.” She also noted that her family was and always will remain her number one priority.
“What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward,” Nicole continued. “That’s that. Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect. I’m staying in a place of ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”
