This Is Usfans were shocked to see Chrissy Metz’scharacter in a wedding dressfor her nuptials… to Phillip (Chris Geere)!
PEOPLE: It’s almost been 24 hours since theseason 5 finale: Have you read the Twitter responses or gotten any messages from friends about Kate’s second wedding? Or the cast group chat?
CHRISSY METZ:I was messaging with Mandy [Moore] this morning. I haven’t checked Twitter.
While you can fall in love with a couple, there’s so much going in a relationship and even things they hadn’t noticed. But as we grow, you either grow together or you grow apart. That’s the sad truth and it’s bittersweet. I think they’re both interested in each other’s happiness and have been chasing their own happiness for a long time so that’s what’s most important.
Here’s the thing, let’s be very clear, you can’t steal somebody who doesn’t want to be stolen. You can’t keep a man who doesn’t want to be kept. What we don’t know is the story we’re going to learn of course in season 6. Chris Geere is so special and so sweet, and wonderful. Such a great actor, and he really gets the tone of the show and was the right guy for the job. He literally was like, “I don’t know, Chrissy, I think people are going to hate me.” And I was like, “Nobody’s gonna hate you, they’re probably going to hate me. They’re probably going to hate Kate before they hate you.”
It’s sort of the same thing with Miguel and Jack. Poor Jon [Huertas] gets a bad rap but Miguel, he really rose to the occasion of following through on the promise he made to Jack that he would take care of the family. Now, I don’t know if that means they have to get married and fall in love, however, you know I think it’s important that we can find love in different ages, stages, times and places. And maybe in the unexpected.

We see the beginning, he’s sort of the jerk that didn’t want to hire her and doesn’t want her in the class. You sort of see him soften up, and “I don’t want to admit this but you’re actually good at your job.” I think even he didn’t want to admit it and realize that she was an asset. And that was really important, not only for Kate as a woman, human and a daughter, but as a woman who has been chasing her dream of happiness in finally coming into her own. I wonder how it’s going to be completely orchestrated. Wonderfully, I’m definitely sure. It’s going to be exciting.
When you’re a mother — I don’t have children, I have a really big family — your priority is your children. For her to balance both of those things, and I think that’s what is so cool about seeing her as a mother, is because so many people don’t know how. We’re not taught, it’s not cultivated that whether you have children or not, you still have to be the priority. They tell us on the airplane, put the oxygen mask on yourself. But we don’t, especially as a woman, I don’t think.
Well, a little easter egg: that wedding gown is indicative of where [Kate and Phillip] get married.
I’m looking forward to all the things I want to do. I would love to continue to write and eventually have my own production company. Also to just have a music career too. I’m looking forward to really concentrating on the music and writing more often. This show literally changed my life. It will never, never be the same again. And so there’s so much gratitude around that. I am sad to see [the show] go. I could take a year or two more, for sure.
Season 6 ofThis Is Uspremieres in early 2022.
