Yvonne Strahovski: "Something Tragic" for Chuck

We're just a couple of weeks away from the final episode of Chuck airing, and I recently spoke to Yvonne Strahovski about saying goodbye to the series, which wrapped production last month.

IGN TV: So last time I talked to you was on set, the day before you wrapped.

Yvonne Strahovski: Oh boy.

IGN: What was the final day like?

Strahovski: Oh my God, the final day. Nothing much changed I think from when you spoke to me until that last day except things got a little more intense, and the end was upon us. It was so emotional. I can't get over it. I already started crying before when somebody was interviewing me. It's still so raw.

IGN: We've seen plenty of shows just sort of end, and they didn't know it was the ending. You guys had times when you thought that could be the case. Was it just a relief though to know, "This is our ending. We're getting to tell the ending on our own terms," and know that you could really close out the story?

Strahovski: Yeah, it was a big relief. We got to end it on our terms, and it's so much better than getting the plug pulled on you and, "Show's cancelled. Oh well." It really nice that the writers got to write their own ending and we got to have our last moment with the fans at Comic-Con. And we really got to feel it out, like, the last month. I feel so grateful for the last month of Season 5. It was really special. I can walk away having no regrets, I can walk away knowing I'm going to have some really great friendships out of this, and I can walk away knowing Sarah Walker will always be a part of me. It was really hard to say bye to her. I'm going to cry again. [Laughs] Oh my God, it's terrible. I'm so emotional about it, ugh!

IGN: I'm sorry to make you emotional!

Strahovski: Oh my God, it's been -- yeah. But you know, it's really good. For me, I feel like it came at the right time, the ending. We're really excited to be moving on to a movie now in a month -- I'm going to do I, Frankenstein with Aaron Eckhart, so that's something to transition into film. You know, I just feel really grateful right now for everything that's happening.
