When asked if he was surprised about Adam's death or if he was ready to wrap up the storyline, Jason said: "I was ready for that," before admitting that he only discovered Adam's fate when he read the script. "When I first auditioned I didn't know and then when I got the re-writes and I read it again and I went, 'Oh! He dies!'"

"But it was fine," the 37-year-old continued. "For me, it was also interesting to see how I could get the story arc within those four episodes. [To] have people like me and then have people cry for me, that was a challenge in itself."
