“#Ryan Eggold and Freema Agyeman on That Major Max & Helen Moment<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for the New Amsterdam<\/em><\/a> Season 3 finale \u201cDeath Begins in Radiology.\u201d]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally<\/em>! That undeniable chemistry between Drs. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold<\/a>) and Helen Sharpe (Freema Agyeman<\/a>) had to be leading somewhere, and oh, does it in New Amsterdam<\/em>\u2018s finale.<\/p>\n

The two start on separate continents \u2014 Helen\u2019s in England with her niece and spending time with her mother \u2014 but leaving each other very<\/em> flirty voicemails. \u201cI can\u2019t keep you out of my head. It\u2019s very distracting,\u201d Max admits. \u201cI need to be with you in all of the ways I\u2019ve been dreaming of.\u201d In return, Helen shares, \u201cI\u2019ve been doing some fantasizing of my own.\u201d<\/p>\n

But upon returning and seeing his reaction to finding his missing wedding ring, Helen takes a step back. Max doesn\u2019t quite let her and instead walks her home. He lingers for a moment before leaving and eventually deciding to take off his ring. That\u2019s when he takes a page out of When Harry Met Sally<\/em>\u2018s book and runs back to her and\u2026yes, they kiss!<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the hour, Dr. Reynolds (Jocko Sims<\/a>) is offered a promotion\u2026by the husband of the woman he\u2019s involved with, Lyn (Frances Turner). They have an open marriage. Dr. Bloom (Janet Montgomery<\/a>) bribes the residency director to get girlfriend Leyla (Shiva Kalaiselvan) a spot at the hospital. And psychiatrist Dr. Iggy Frome (Tyler Labine<\/a>) decides he\u2019s no longer going to see patients.<\/p>\n

TV Insider spoke with Eggold and Agyeman about that seasons-in-the-making moment and what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n

Max has his big When Harry Met Sally<\/em> revelation and runs to Helen in what definitely feels like a finally!<\/em> moment. What were your reactions to that happ<\/a>ening now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Freema Agyeman:<\/strong> I was shocked because I thought that it might go a little bit longer. I remember one day Ryan and I were talking on set, and he was like, \u201cI think it just has to happen now. It\u2019s time.\u201d I think it\u2019s perfectly pitched timing-wise. You\u2019re not going to please everybody all the time, but there seems to be a general<\/a> consensus that it\u2019s the right time.<\/p>\n

Ryan Eggold:<\/strong> Yeah, I was really excited. As Freema mentioned, I was a little excited, a little eager to get to that scene. I just love their relationship so much, and I love working with Freema. It\u2019s comfortable and we have a little bit of freedom to be adventurous and play between the lines, and it\u2019s just so much fun.<\/p>\n

Max and Helen\u2019s relationship is unique and interesting. They\u2019re friends and they\u2019re colleagues. She\u2019s been his caretaker. She\u2019s saved his life on more than one occasion. And I hope he\u2019s been there for her too, although she seems definitely to have pulled more weight than he and there\u2019s been so much unspoken for so long so I was so excited, whatever that was, however it manifested itself, to confront it for these two characters, to voice it and to take a risk instead of playing it safe. So I was thrilled to see that moment on the page, which was beautifully written, and it was just a joy to shoot that stuff.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

Virginia Sherwood\/NBC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Agyeman:<\/strong> I was a bit nervous, I have to say. Not with you, but the expectation. You just think, \u201cIs it going to be what people want it to be? Should it be tender? Should it be hungry? Should it not really be seen? Should it be really in your face?\u201d There could\u2019ve been a million ways we could have played it.<\/p>\n

Because so much of their relationship is what\u2019s not said, but what\u2019s in the looks between them, it was kind of fitting that we had that build-up with so few words walking through the street and then waiting and waiting\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Eggold: <\/strong>Definitely. I love that this last sequence between them was without dialogue because that\u2019s what\u2019s been so fun playing with Freema is those moments in between and just that connection and just playing with a connection without commenting on it or without saying it explicitly or without having the lines and stuff. To just walk with someone just reminds me of life, of what it\u2019s like if you\u2019re falling in love or when you\u2019re going there with somebody. When you get to that place with somebody, you don\u2019t necessarily need words. You\u2019re sort of past that place and just touching hands or just the look or just sharing the same view or whatever can be so charged and so full of something.<\/p>\n

Max had to make the first move, right? Or would Helen ever have?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Agyeman:<\/strong> I don\u2019t think so. Maybe I\u2019m wrong. Sometimes I open the scripts and read stuff about the characters we\u2019re playing and you kind of go, \u201cOh yeah, I wouldn\u2019t really have ever thought to have gone there with her,\u201d but we\u2019re all just unpeeling the onions of these characters as we go. But I don\u2019t think she would have, just because of the symbolism of his ring as well. There is no timeline on bereavement, but if someone is still wearing their ring of somebody that they love and lost, then it would be pretty crass to go there, I think, so I don\u2019t think she ever would have. But I think the telepathy that she was trying to get into him from what she was thinking and feeling probably made its way in eventually.<\/p>\n

\"Ryan<\/p>\n

Zach Dilgard\/NBC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What can you say about what might be next? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Eggold: <\/strong>Hopefully just a lot of making out. When you first fall in love with someone, there\u2019s that puppy love phase, so I\u2019m asking the writers for just one episode of just smooching and hand-holding. No, I don\u2019t know. We were just wondering that ourselves.<\/p>\n

I will say, all kidding aside, I would be very excited to see that joy, that excitement about falling in love and about finally admitting it and it being reciprocated. There\u2019s no better feeling in the world, and it\u2019s so rare. I would love to see all the tragedy and trials and tribulations that both these characters have gone through. I would love to see some really just sharing that connection and joy and discovering each other in a new way and admitting things and being honest and taking the mask off, taking the walls down, all that, and just connecting.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, as Freema was just saying, there will be complications for other people, for [Max\u2019s late wife] Georgia\u2019s parents who are curious about [their granddaughter] Luna. Is Helen going to be a constant in his life? Are these characters getting together? Are they not getting together? Is this gonna affect their granddaughter? In the hospital, is it professional, or are other people going to be concerned that this is going to be messy at work? I think all those ramifications will be fun to explore as well.<\/p>\n

\"Max<\/p>\n

Virginia Sherwood\/NBC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Agyeman:<\/strong> Yeah, I would second all of that. Did we ever establish how long in real-time one episode roughly is?<\/p>\n

Eggold:<\/strong> Generally a day, two days, three days, somewhere in there.<\/p>\n

Agyeman:<\/strong> Right. So I guess it would be lovely for them to live in that happy place for a while, but I don\u2019t know. Would they move into Helen\u2019s place? Would they move into Max\u2019s?<\/p>\n

Eggold: <\/strong>Have you seen Max\u2019s place? Although I will say the set for Max\u2019s place is amazing. But Helen\u2019s place is like a grand palace and I\u2019m moving into that place 100 percent.<\/p>\n

Agyeman: <\/strong>Are they going to become that kind of unit where they really work together and play together and are building a life together? Or is it just the first layer of these people getting to know each other intimately, which can take time?<\/p>\n

Eggold: <\/strong>Yes. And to your point, Freema, it changes things when you cross that line with somebody. It can ruin a friendship. It can become a full-blown relationship and it can be everything in between. So it\u2019ll be interesting to see how it changes it and how these two characters who are very guarded react to going there, to intimacy with somebody else, and what it means for them going forward and how they feel about each other.<\/p>\n

\"Freema<\/p>\n

Zach Dilgard\/NBC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We also saw Max fighting with the concept of fighting the season and we saw how he failed with the vaccines. How is that going to affect how he\u2019s handling things at the hospital next season?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eggold:<\/strong> Yeah, I really enjoyed that scene and that moment \u2014 that episode was written by Shaun Cassidy and Laura Valdivia and David Schulner, our writing staff\u2019s so collaborative \u2014 because he does fight so much and I was feeling bad about the character that he\u2019s fighting everybody all the time and that he\u2019s always pushing and what is that balance? You want to push to tear down a system that isn\u2019t working or to rebuild it in a better way or to repair it or make it better or to be more inclusive or to be more helpful or more efficient. And you want to change things and fight stereotypes and fight old norms that aren\u2019t working, but you don\u2019t want to alienate yourself from everyone. You don\u2019t want to become an island that\u2019s just swinging wildly for change and not connecting with anybody. So I think there has to be a new way forward for Max next year. I don\u2019t even know exactly in what way that is, but I know that it includes other people and listening more and not being a one-man band and not changing the world by himself. I know that it includes learning from other people more.<\/p>\n

There was this moment when I thought the season would end with Helen declaring she was thinking about moving to England to help with that clinic. How has seeing what happened with a place that meant so much to her affected her?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Agyeman: <\/strong>With Mina being introduced into her life, I think it\u2019s really gotten her to thinking about family more and herself within context of family and loved ones and being in love and emotion and opening herself up because she says in Episode 313 that she doesn\u2019t like to talk about herself or to open up really. I think she would be better in a relationship because we\u2019ve seen her be in relationships but never really kind of fully perhaps allowed herself maybe that happiness. For her, I think the past needs to be unpicked before she can re-stitch some of the future tapestry. She has a pull for home, definitely for London, for her mum, for her life there.<\/p>\n
