Bones Season 9 Premiere Spoilers: 'Brennan in A Very Fragile Place'
The ninth season of hit Fox drama "Bones" airs tonight, but some fans cannot wait even that long to find out what will happen to Booth and Brennan. After a disappointing end to season 8 in which Booth turned down Brennan's proposal, producers announced that they will be going forward with the wedding between Booth and Brennan in the ninth season after all. And many are eager to find out the details. For relationship and wedding information, read on, but be cautious of spoilers.
Producer Stephan Nathan recently spoke to TV Guide about the ninth season of Bones, and deciding to have Booth and Brennan marry after all.
"We had to figure out: 'How do we continue telling the story of these two people in an honest way?' The only way we could do that was have them face this most painful situation and get them to the brink of almost breaking up. What is that thing that allows them to stay together? Hopefully that will be that thing that allows them to get married," Nathan said.
Emily Deschanel, who plays Brennan on the show, also spoke to TV Guide. She discussed what her character faces at the start of season nine.
The "season premiere finds Brennan in a very fragile place. After finally getting to the place of asking Booth to marry her, will his rejection cause a setback? She's in a lot of pain. It's devastating for her. I think there are definite moments that she regrets having opened up, but I don't think she's going to regress completely," Deschanel said.
"Bones" creator Hart Hanson also chimed in with his take on Brennan's season 9 disposition.
"She retreats to rational science when she's threatened. She has a very biochemical take on love. She thinks you start out with these endorphins and you hope that you can create a bond that can live past that. She's thinking, 'Oh, we didn't make it,'" Hanson said.
