Here's the info from today's chat with Kristen via Spoilerfix.
From January 23's chat with Kristin
anna asks: What were Fox pres Peter Liguori's exact words about how Reunion would end?
Kristin_Veitch replies: He said "Reunion was particularly cumbersome in terms of trying to provide an ending for the audience. How [creator] Jon [Harmon Feldman] was laying out the show to gap those additional 14, 15, 16 years was an incredibly complex path. There were a numberof options and he didn't make a definitive decision on which option he was going to go with as to who the killer was, and there was just no way to accelerate that time. We put these shows on with every good intention to end them, but eventually the audience votes. We discussed a number of options and the best guess at that particular time was that it was going to be Sam's daughter that was actually the killer."
val asks: what do you know about the killer?
Kristin_Veitch replies: Okay, since Liguori already spilled and I also asked David Janolari if the WB was interested in picking up Reunion and he said, "no," I think its time to just give up the info
Heres what Ive been told by someone who is very much in the know, who works on the show
The original plan was for the killer to be Sams daughter, however, the 11th hour change was that the killer would be
drumroll, please
Craigs father. Im told that he felt Craigs political career would take off with her out of the picture. Nothing had been shot, so it could have been changed. But as far as I know (from a producer and an actor on the show), Craigs father probably would have been the culprit. Im also told that when the murderer was Amy, it was supposed to have been an accident.
Jason asks: PLEASE tell me you know why Craig was in a wheelchair!
Kristin _Veitch replies: Yes. Its actually tied into the reason Jenna was so bitter toward him.
Apparently an upcoming (flashback) storyline was that Craig was hitting on Jenna in a car and she was rebuffing him and they got into a car accident. Initially, he really wasnt supposed to be able to walk, but had a surprising recovery. However, Craigs father believed hed do better with the sympathy vote and told him to stay in the wheelchair. And he won the Congressional race.
queenjacyln asks: If Craig's father killed Sam, why would the 5 friends cover it up?
Kristin_Veitch replies: Good question. And I have no answer. I'm a bit disappointed it wasn't one of the five friends? Aren't you? I sorta believed that to be the premise of the whole show .... but what do I know?
