Is Bones planning to do anything to honor the passing of Ralph Waite, who played Booth's grandfather? — Mandy
Executive producer Stephen Nathan says the show's creative team definitely wants to pay tribute to the erstwhile John Walton. Unfortunately, the show's big plans for Booth at
the end of the season complicated matters. "We couldn't really do it
justice this season," Nathan says. "At this point, we're under such
pressure to finish the year. To rip apart a story and do a half-baked
attempt at it seemed to be disrespectful to us." But Nathan remains
optimistic about some sort of acknowledgement in the future. "We want to
honor Ralph and his existence in our family in the right way, and we'll
try to find a way to do that next year," Nathan says.
