Kate’s mum and dad Margie (Chelah Horsdal) and Bud look like the perfect couple on the face of it but we know they are not – teenaged Kate knows it too. In the books Johnny doesn’t die, and in fact he and Kate don’t get divorced, though that doesn’t mean he won’t be knocked off should a season two be commissioned. Cut to the phone ringing in Kate’s house while Kate and Tully are sitting in the garden toasting to a better 2004… Is that someone calling to tell her Johnny has died? Or perhaps that he’s been injured? It’s certainly left as a possibility after he encounters a mine while out reporting in Iraq – the last time we see him, he is lying on his back with a blank expression. Tully will be bigger than ever, she says, because she has Kate by her side. At the end of 2003 they are both unemployed but agree to work together going forward. Kate quit her job at the magazine after the editor did a hatchet job on Tully. Tully quits her job on The Girlfriend Hour after her sex pest producer attempts to bring on a co-host who Tully hates. Kate and Marah at Bud’s funeral don’t appear to have any animosity between them, though we don’t know what’s gone down over the past two years. Towards the end of Netflix’s version of Firefly Lane Tully asks Kate to be her producer, so it’s possibly the fallout is something to do with her career, though again, you’d expect them to be able to weather this. Tully invites Kate and Marah onto her talk show under the pretence of discussing their fractured relationship, but live on air Tully reveals the slot is about over-protective mothers and the teenagers who hate them, essentially calling Kate a bad mother on live TV. In the book Kate and Tully fall out over Kate’s teenage daughter Marah (Yael Yurman). But also because the last we see of Johnny he’s been possibly killed in Iraq – more on that in a bit. Firstly because it would be a shame if the dissolution of a lifelong friendship came down to a bloke – we hope Kate and Tully would be stronger than that. Much of the show teases the love triangle between Tully, Kate and Johnny (Ben Lawson) so it’s conceivable that this great betrayal is related to Johnny, but we very much hope not. Tully turns up to Bud’s funeral but is sharply told to leave by Kate, who reminds Tully she will never forgive her for what she did.įirefly Lane and the Problem with Aging up and Down By Rosie Fletcher This is the funeral of Kate’s father, Bud (Paul McGillion).īut something has definitely gone down between the two. It’s not, as we might have initially thought, that Tully has died. From episode one Firefly Lane teases a funeral and some sort of incident which has resulted in Kate and Tully’s separation. Either way, should a Firefly Lane season 2 be commissioned there are several big questions that require answers. There’s also a sequel to the novel called Fly Away, so there’s heaps of material should Netflix decide to renew for a second series, and that’s even assuming the showrunner Maggie Friedman opts to follow the story of the books. The show doesn’t cover the entirety of the book and also makes some major diversions from the plot, adding in and taking out various characters. Over ten episodes the show follows the friends at different stages of their lives – as teenage girls, as young women embarking on careers and family and as forty-somethings juggling different sets of life events Based on Kristin Hannah’s novel of the same name, Firefly Lane follows the decades-long friendship of Tully (Katherine Heigl) and Kate (Sarah Chalke) who meet as teen neighbors living on the titular street and are bonded by a chance encounter after a traumatic event. Love, loss and lifelong friendship is at the heart of Netflix’s latest binge worthy drama.
