Lee promoted Pushing Daisies at the Monte Carlo Television Festival this week, sharing some thoughts on season 2:
Will Ned and Chuck ever be able to touch? Is there a way out of that rule?
No, no way out! They can’t. Ned and Chuck will never touch. If I touch her, she’s dead.Doesn’t that make you sad?
No. It’s good. It gives us something to play. It would be cheating if somehow we made it to the fifth season, and there’s a special trick, like I hold my ear while I touch her it becomes OK. We have to keep the integrity of it.Do you feel that’s the heart of the show?
Yes, this show is very much about secrets and people who can’t connect with each other. Ned can’t touch anyone, Olive can’t connect with the man she loves, and the aunts can’t get out of their house. It’s about people who can’t connect and have lots and lots of secrets, and in the second season, which we start shooting on Monday, we really start digging up those secrets.Will Ned and Chuck start seeing other people in season two?
Maybe. One of the big things that happens at the beginning of the second season is that Chuck moves out. So it’s not going to be easy anymore for Ned. It’s good. They need to see other people.
Is there a moral lesson we’re supposed to take from a show where the lovers don’t sleep together?
That wasn’t the intention. Some people in America have interpreted it like that, and I don’t think it’s a bad thing. These are two people who love each other very much and choose to be together even though they’re never going to get drunk and sleep together. It’s not that show. I think it’s kind of sexy that they can’t touch. It’s the longest foreplay ever.
