Season 5 ends with Dana Sue telling Ronnie that she needs some space, including — gasp! — her own apartment. And while actress Brooke Elliott would love for the couple to work things out, especially given her fondness for co-star Brandon Quinn, she ultimately wants the best outcome for all parties invovled.
“As much as my heart is soft to Ronnie and Dana Sue, I also wonder sometimes if it does have to be that hard,” Elliott tells TVLine. “Maybe she needs to do some things that are right for her, and he needs to do some things that are right for him, and I don’t know if that will always keep them together.”
As for the obvious chemistry between Dana Sue and new business partner Clark Bellson, Elliott isn’t ruling out anything between them in a potential sixth season.
“Clark is offering those pieces that she’s really struggling with in Ronnie, and has always struggled with in Ronnie, so it’ll be really interesting to see if that actually does grow into something,” Elliott says. “Is it something that just shows her that she does want to be on her own more? Or is it something where she goes, ‘I do want this, but I want to fight for it with Ronnie’? I don’t know!”
Elliott also doesn’t know how much we’d see of Dana Sue’s daughter Annie in Season 6, now that the high school graduate is leaving the nest.
“I wonder what’ll happen there, if we get a Season 6, because I love working with [Anneliese Judge] and doing scenes with her,” Elliott says. “She has become such a good friend, and I still want scenes with Anneliese.”
(On that front, showrunner Sheryl J. Anderson tells TVLine, “I very much want Annie to stay on the show, so I’ll just say thank goodness for holiday breaks and summer vacations.”)
