Hold on to your seats! Last night’s highly-anticipated arrival of ABC’s new drama, Big Sky from David E, Kelley offered several shocking moments and surprises as the dark story took viewers down a twisty path as we were introduced to all the characters.

Throughout it’s promotional push the network has touted the series having three leads played by One Life to Live alum, and TV and motion picture star, Ryan Phillippe (Ex-Billy Douglas), along with Katheryn Winnick, and Kylie Bunbury

Turns out that was a set-up so viewers, who had spent the entire hour learning of the complex relationships of this threesome, and how they work together to begin to solve a crime of three young women who have gone missing and kidnapped   But then in the episode’s final moments, Phillippe’s character of PI Cody Hoyt is shot dead!

Ryan shared his thoughts on going into the series knowing his character would be killed-off right off the bat: “I was shocked certainly, and I think that’s also what made me so excited about it. So often in entertainment you can see what’s coming a month away, and to have moments in a series like this where it kind of takes your breath away, when you are absolutely shocked and did not see it coming, it’s exciting to me.”  Phillippe added: “I think it sends the message that in a series like this, no one is safe, so you really have to pay attention and hope that the people you love stick around.”

But will Phillippe’s Cody be seen on future episodes such as Milo Ventimigilia is seen on This Is Us?  Ryan told a press panel: “That’s not the last you’ll see or hear of him.”

Look for Cody to definitely appear in flashbacks, while Deadline is reporting that the actor will be seen in several more installments of the TV drama.

In story, Cody was shot by State Trooper Rick Legarski (John Carroll Lynch) who is covering-up being at the epicenter of sex trafficking ring in Montana.  While viewers saw a bloody ending, we never saw an image of a dead Cody either, we can only assume.

Well, it may very well be one of the last times we see or hear him, because the show is horrible and won’t make it to the new year.

Why not, because you don’t like it?

I only tuned in for Ryan Phillippe. If he’s gone – so am I. Idiot writers.

Oh, I loved the first episode although I had no idea what it would be like. I have always liked David Kelley’s shows so that’s why I watched it, and it did not disappoint!

Violet, I’m afraid it disappointed me. Too many cliched characters and plot lines. To say nothing of violence against women.
Hope all is well with you. Take care.

Thanks for your input and I respect your reasoning. I admit I do not think of all those things you mentioned, I just watch what I like and truthfully I did not see all the stuff leading to the final scene. I had no idea beforehand what the show was going to be about so was totally surprised at the ending with the Trooper and his part in it, leading to the women trafficking . It is brutal and hopefully they will stop all these animals that are doing this in the real world. Right now I am so scared of this COVID and our country turning into a cival war, I watch just about anything to keep my mind off of it.Iam O.K so far. Am counting on my Vitamin D to keep me that way. You stay well also. Nice “talking” to you, though I did most of it. Have a very good Thanksgiving.

Filled with cliches telegraphed a mile away. A waste of talent and time.
