This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Meredith Russo Well, the boring answer is that it's fiction and I made it all up, so not much of any consequence is happening to them. A more wishy-washy answer is that depending on my mood and inclination at any moment I might picture their lives going any old way. My standard answer, and the one which I believe the most, is that readers have as much stake in their versions of the stories they read as the writers who put words to the page. What do characters look like to you? What do they do when they're off screen? What are the blank spaces of their futures and pasts like? That's entirely up to you. :)
