Scott Porter knows most Ginny & Georgia fans want Joe to be the father of Georgia’s baby — but he’s making the case for Paul.
“Listen, our show deals in high drama. We rarely take the easy way out,” Porter, 45, exclusively teased to Us Weekly at the Motion Picture & Television Fund NextGen Annual Summer Party on Sunday, June 22. “If you want all of this craziness to continue, it being Paul’s baby is pretty interesting.”
Porter could see why Joe (Raymond Ablack) is a contender as well, adding, “The show has definitely let you know that there is something that needs to be explored with Joe and Georgia. If you want to see that to its complete [and] happy ending — which I’m not sure we get on our show — then Joe should be the dad.”
While filming for season 4 hasn’t started yet, Porter has already put all his trust in the writers’ room.
“I know our writers are gonna handle this incredibly well,” he noted. “They’re gonna keep you on the edge of your seat. Right now, I’m a fan just like you. So I know nothing and I will wait and see.”
The season 3 finale of the hit Netflix series, which premiered on June 5, threw Us for a loop when Georgia (Brianne Howey) realized she is pregnant. For now, it’s unclear whether Paul — or Joe — is the dad.
Creator Sarah Lampert recently told Us that the decision wasn’t easy to make.
“When we entered the season 4 writers’ room, I knew unequivocally without a doubt whose baby it was,” she shared. “I came into the writers’ room and I said, ‘Here’s whose baby it is. Change my mind.’ The writers’ room is phenomenal. Our writers are fantastic and truly it’s such a kinetic, live and ever-morphing thing.” As a result, the choice potentially shifted along the way. “That’s what makes the show good is it really becomes alive at every stage of the process. But certainly in the writers’ room. So it wasn’t decided,” Lampert revealed. “They’ve changed my mind before. I’ll put it that way.”
She noted that the room was “utterly divided” on the paternity. “We went back and forth and back and forth. It was a full-on school debate effort,” she explained. “It was phenomenal because there’s pros and cons story-wise to both — but there’s one clear answer and I’m not going to say what it is.”
Ablack, meanwhile, has made it clear that his allegiance is to Joe, with him teasing to Us, “In my heart, Joe is the father. But I don’t know. I have no idea. I’m as eager for episode 1 of season 4 as everyone else is to find that truth.”
Porter — like the rest of Us — is excited to see where the journey goes. In fact, he even showed his support for a potential onscreen reconciliation between Georgia and Paul despite their marriage falling apart in season 3 due to her high profile murder trial.
“You can never say never with our show. There are plenty of relationships that have frayed and been rekindled. Whether it’s a broken relationship within a family or a broken partnership, I think our show has shown that everything can be somewhat rekindled,” he hinted. “It’s gonna take a little while to get there, though. This season was a reckoning for so many of our characters and after the reckoning, you need to do some soul-searching.”
Porter has high hopes for Paul going forward.
“Paul needs to do some serious soul-searching. I think you’re gonna see Georgia kind of feeling like she needs to do some as well — because her situation is changing so rapidly,” he said. S”o in that search, if they find their way back to each other, I think it would be really, really interesting. But is that what’s going to happen? I have no idea.”
Ginny & Georgia is currently streaming on Netflix.
