Dear Felicity

With Felicity graduated from college and back in the present day, it's time to say goodbye to the plucky freshman with curly hair. Juliet, Mandy, and Greg discuss the final two episodes of 'Felicity,' talking about Greg's real-life speech to the cast at the wedding and the absence of Sarah McLachlan in that final scene, where they think Felicity and Ben's relationship would stand today, and more memories from filming the final episodes of the show.

Just when the cast and crew of 'Felicity' thought the show was over, they were asked by the network to do five more episodes. So, Felicity and her friends traveled back in time, and the audience got to see what would have happened if Felicity chose Ben over Noel. Josh Reims, who worked as a co-executive producer on these episodes, joins to talk about how they landed on the idea of having Felicity go back in time to her freshman year and the opportunity the episodes gave them to bring out another side of her character.
