Thank you! The end of the interview is kind of heartbreaking.

How does one not like bananas? I'm allergic to them and what I wouldn't give to eat one.

I don't like bananas, when I was a baby I wouldn't eat anything with even a little bit banana in it lol!

Thanks for posting Domino (and the person who posted in on youtube!) He's giving me Halex feels and Being Human feels in general :(

I find the antique trunk and the Honolulu Heights sign most poignant. A lovely interview tinged with sadness..and yet we are all very lucky to have been on the receiving end of the synergy or acting an creative talent that brought Being Human to life, and Damien was lucky enough to be part of.

aw
It does sound like he had the best time making Being Human I really hope he gets to work with Michael and Kate again that would be the next next thing to seeing Hal, Tom and Alex again :'(

After the extra scene and 'shouty Hal' deleted scene (thanks for that phrase, Ruby!) this was what I most wanted to see off the DVD!  And it was the one thing that I'd read hardly anything about.

I found it really heartbreaking! - "The end of Being Human" - no more Hal......

“I love the scenes with just the three of us together, whether it’s one we just finished where we’re about to kill each other, or one where we’re best of mates trying to come up with the cleaning rota, I just think we have a rhythm.. I love playing with them, coming into a scene with them anything could happen, we laugh and we cry and.. I am going to miss it desperately. I suppose the cheesiest thing to say is that every day on this set is such a highlight because it's just brilliant craic, coming down here to work with such amazing actors and such a brilliant crew that, I mean I haven’t worked on that many sets, but you just get a feeling from this bunch of people that what we've got going on down here is extremely special and that’s really the saddest thing, I think, about it, because I probably won't get to work with this specific group of cast and crew again, which is sad..."

 But aren't we lucky that we live in an era where there is the chance to record and keep footage that we like/love?

Oh, domino!  You're breaking my heart all over again!  I've only watched it once......

You're right though Pearl - we're lucky to be able to watch Hal whenever we want!

Sorry fifi! It's cathartic though somehow for me. and to repeat what I just wrote in the fansite feature on this interview.....With the Honolulu Heights sign propped up behind him on an antique trunk, Damien's interview on the Being Human Series 5 dvd is a fitting and moving goodbye to our favourite 519 year old vampire Hal.

Great article Domino you are right I AM excited to see where Damien's acting career goes next, Hal will never ever be forgotten but he's shown us what the boy can do so onwards to more amazing things!!! :D Xxx

Excited as I am to see where Damien's career might lead - and, believe me, I am excited! - it doesn't cushion the knowledge that Hal is gone. I want to be excited about Damien doing other things, and look forward to more Hal on my tv both at the same time. Lol!

I was worried that when the dvd finally arrived and I saw the extra scene it might feel a bit final and end my optimistic state of denial.  Lovely as that scene was, it didn't actually do anything to change the way I saw the end of being human.  But this interview.....OMG.  It just feels like the final nail in Hal's coffin(!)  Maybe I need to make myself watch it again....

Hugs fifi, I feel your pain

For me it's the dismantled set, that does me. But, I do find this cathartic and helpful to help face it head on, it's beautiful to hear how special the experience was for Damien it makes it seem like we're grieving together and that helps somehow.

OK....I've watched this a number of times this evening, and I think that I eventually reached a point where I stopped being heartbroken by it all, and started to enjoy watching Damien give an interview.  Haha - maybe I'm a bit more shallow than I like to think!  It really is lovely to think that Damien might miss Hal as much I will....doesn't make me feel any less sad about it, but maybe watching this interview doesn't make me feel more sad anymore (it makes perfect sense -honestly!)

You're right about the 'dismantled set', domino.  It has a bit of an empty house vibe about it....

It does fifi, perfect sense.. Thank you for always expressing things so eloquently, you often mirror my own thoughts in your words. I do believe things like this help us to become less heartbroken in The long term, avoidance of pain is not the way to process it.

And could we ever get enough of Damien interviews, video interviews, talking about his own experience of acting?

I just watched this interview again yesterday and it made me sad all over again.  I really, really hate the phrase "all good things must come to an end".  Really I should be moving on, but still hanging on to the wish that we could have more Hal.  And also, seeing all the behind the scenes the official BH channel has been uploading to YouTube, I feel we got cheated so much in S4 & S5.  (Damn cutbacks!)  No DaMo cam, no featurettes, no gag reels, and the interviews are so short and almost scripted.  There isn't that raw, impromptu feeling from earlier interviews. 

And I feel extremely selfish, but now with the Ripper Street news and Damien moving on to new projects I'm conflicted. Of course I'm super excited to see how he takes on a new role, super excited to see what his character will be like, super excited about the period garb, and super duper excited that I'll be seeing him on the telly again.  He's got such amazing talent, so much potential for exploring dozens of characters and I wish him only the best, I wish him success and superstardom if that's where he wants to be.  But at the same time I want him to "stay ours", you know.  Not that I don't want him to become big, I was just hoping for little more time of him having a small dedicated fan base and having opportunities to interact with him. (silly dreams) As we've seen he hardly even tweets anymore. 

And he's just Hal to me, since I've not seen him in anything else except the short films. I want him to stay Hal, I want more Hal damn it!  It will be strange seeing him as another character, comparing and contrasting and measuring him up to Hal.  That's partially Toby's fault for creating such a rich character, with that special mix of awkward & sexy and his special brand of humour, and partially Damien's fault for all the little details he put into his performance.  I know I'll be looking to see what expressions are Hal-like, what mannerisms, will he walk differently, what accent will he have, and that's exciting but also I'm scared I'll be missing Hal all over again and won't be able to enjoy the new character just for himself.

Ok rant over. Just sometimes get a little emotional.

Whimsy, I could say so many things in response, thank you for sharing you thoughts and feelings i am sure they are shared by many of us still grieving for Hal.


I will cherish Hal forever, and I still don't feel he has gone, series 5 is very fresh in my mind and heart, the Hal Chats are helping. And, at least we get to keep him forever in our re-watches and his future in our imaginations! But, I am also really excited to see Damien spread his talented wings! I hope others feel that way too, it is him who brought Hal to life and I feel lit up inside imagining future characters and experiencing them on the screen.

The phrase 'all good things must came to an end' can seem quite glib on the surface but when I read your comment I realised it's quite zen, impermanence is possibly one of lifes' bigger truths. Not that that helps any. hugs. hug

i just want to say, . That in one way i am glad being human is over because Damien and the other actors, like Michael for instance. Can now go off and do better bigger things!! Damien is gonna be in ripper street. It's all about growing and developing as an actor or actress. Also. I am sad Being Human has finished i think we needed at least one more series to see how they where all getting on as Humans.

But yes. I can confess, and throw things at me if you wish. That i am glad BH is finished. So now Damien can "Spread his talented wings" (Stolen from Domino) and fly a little bit more into the amazing acting world! :D

Whimsy - yeah....I know - totally.

And I sometimes feel guilty for thinking that it's unlikely that Damien is ever going to have the opportunity to play such a wonderfully complex character as Hal again......because there isn't one!

oh good, I'm not the only one.  Hal.  God dammit I've never before encountered such a fantastic, complex, broken, adorkable character and doubt we'll ever see his like again.  And I've never seen a more perfect fit between talent and character.  It's as if Hal was written just for Damien.  He was meant to be Hal! Damien was meant to play Hal!  thud

But, I'm sure we'll sing a different tune as he plays other characters that we fall in love with.  I don't doubt that Damien's wonderful talent will draw me in, transforming him into whatever character he is at the moment so thoroughly that there will be no thoughts of Hal, no comparing and contrasting, just pure enjoyment.  Just for the moment.  Then I can go back to pining and re-watches and sacrifices to the pagan gods for some sort of miraculous Being Human re-commission.  (only half joking)
