A screening of the emotional One Day at a Time episode where Lydia (Rita Moreno) is in a coma after a stroke and the Alvarez family, one by one, share tearjerking moments with her as they wait for her to wake up kicked off the panel session. Afterward, as the Atx Television Festival audience dried their tears, Brooklyn Nine-Nine star and Odaat guest star and panel moderator Melissa Fumero welcomed stars Justina Machado, Todd Grinnell, Stephen Tobolowsky, and co-creator/executive producer Mike Royce and executive producer Brent Miller (and a brief guest video appearance from Isabella Gomez) to talk about the show in front of a packed house at the State Theater.
“It’s rare to make an audience think you’re going to kill off a character…so to get that real audience reaction was great!” said Royce of the episode.
Fumero didn’t waste any time and addressed the elephant in the room.
