What’s Happening

So get this: Yellowstone actor Luke Grimes admitted he was shocked about a Marshals storyline involving one of the main Yellowstone cast members.

Television Drama Shows The Marshals Storyline That Shocked Star Luke Grimes By Joe Roberts 8:45 pm EST CBS If there’s one thing you can say about “Marshals” it’s that the long-awaited “Yellowstone” spin-off knows how to keep the spirit of Taylor Sheridan’s drama-drenched neo-Western alive. The first episode locked in that Kelsey Asbille’s Monica Dutton had died prior to the show’s debut, surprising everyone, star Luke Grimes included. (it feels like chaos)

“Marshals” just dropped itself of the “Yellowstone” franchise’s most depressing trends .

The Details

Episode 1 killed off one of the most controversial “Yellowstone” characters in the worst way possible , confirming Monica died off-screen and barely even explaining the circumstances. It is suggested, and has since been locked in, that she died as the result of a near contaminated by a mining operation close to her and her family’s home.

The mine and it’s cancer-causing activities are a big part of the new show, with the Broken Rock Reservation holding a protest and Brecken Merrill’s Tate Dutton chastising his father for not being on the front lines considering “how much mom suffered. ” But it’s still somewhat vague and not fr what the fandom expected.

Why This Matters

Now, as even casual the fandom will know, Monica wasn’t the most beloved character in the history of the Sheridan-verse. But her unceremonious passing will no doubt have come as a surprise to most viewers, who across five seasons of the mothership series witnessed her and Kayce’s bond grow ever stronger despite significant setbacks. That’s a big part of the reason Monica’s death shocked Grimes, who told Entertainment Weekly he was taken aback when the writers pitched him the idea.

Entertainment industry insiders have been buzzing about this.

The Bottom Line

“It was his whole heart,” dropped the actor of Kayce’s relationship with Monica, before explaining that he did at some point make peace with her passing. Still, like most viewers, he was clearly caught off-guard and has dropped as much elsewhere.

We want to hear your thoughts on this.
