What Bones’ Carla Gallo Really Wanted For Daisy And Sweets

Naturally, the death of Sweets was an emotional thing for the cast, Gallo included. “I got the script, and no joke, I got a little teary,” the actress revealed in the same interview. “Usually, I don’t read a script and get [that way] — it’s a script, it’s work — but I got teary as I read the end of the episodes.” Speaking further, Gallo explained that while she was happy with the way things ended up, it wasn’t how she would have, ideally, seen things play out.

“I’m really glad that’s how it ended. I don’t know, I always thought they should be together. And when I shot the episodes where they weren’t together — I’m sure it was different for John [since he was there every week] — but for me, it always felt like something was missing. That was part of who the character was for me, from day 1. She wasn’t just an intern, she was an intern and Lance’s girlfriend. It was very strange for me to be there — something was missing when I didn’t have that part of the character. So I was really glad they brought them back together, but of course, given the choice, I’d have preferred he survived, and they got to be together.”

For what it’s worth, Daley did try to get Sweets back on the show at one point, but that request was denied. Instead, he moved on to a directing career, working on movies such as “Vacation” and “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” while Booth, Brennan, and the rest of the gang moved on without him, his former on-screen love included.

“Bones” is currently streaming on Hulu and Amazon Prime Video.
