In their final TCA appearance, the creator and stars of NBC’s This Is Us today reflected on their six years together on the show and the series’ upcoming end.Creator/executive Dan Fogelman also addressed a couple of subjects about Season 6 that have come up often in the past few months, the storyline about the divorce of one of the show’s main couples, Kate and Toby, which was foreshadowed last season, the use of flash-forwards in the final season as it builds towards the series finale as well as whether the story of the Pearsons could continue beyond the end of This Is Us this spring.Fogelman on Kate & Toby’s upcoming divorce:“I think divorce is something first of all, we’ve always just tried to make the show about what happens to people, and divorce is something that happens almost as frequently as it doesn’t.

And it hasn’t happened on this show.”“The way Toby and Kate always came together, I’ve always thought was beautiful and romantic, but it was also kind of imperfect.

It was two people who often needed different things at different times and there were lots of conversations early on about whether they were good for another.

And, then, circumstances can also start alleviating things. I mean, their kind of the distance is alleviating.“There’s a beautiful script that’s been written, that I won’t say too much about, but that’s one of the ones I’m most proud of… I think Mandy’s directed recently a really beautiful episode that Chrissy co-wrote and that starts this journey and we have some really big stuff for them coming up.”On flash-forwards in Season 6:“We’re definitely building towards (“Rebecca’s deathbed scene) and we’re definitely going to spend more time there in the course of the season than we’ve ever spent
