Jeffer then explained that despite his demands, he still found himself faced with one of the most difficult decisions of his life. “But let’s be honest” – has continued – “AI’m a fan of our show so much, and I love my fans, that I know I’m still grieving about it which, to some extent, I’m grieving as well.”
When asked about his complete closure with the TV series, and the possible return, Jesse replied: “Never say never. I’m so sorry for the fans who wonder: “Will he come back?”, “What will he do?”, “What happens between him and Hailey?”.
Jesse Lee Soffer finally added: “I like to think – and I hope the fans think so too – that right now (Jay) is in another country, doing what it does best and making the world a safer place.
