It is safe to say that the opening episode of Off The Map was a success and now it is time to see if the same can be said for the rest of the series.
In a recent interview, the show’s creator Jenna Bans and executive producers Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers revealed details about upcoming episodes.
“In the fifth episode, a scuba diver is trapped under a rock, and because of other medical issues she has they realize they have to cut her leg off to save her life. So Ben (played by Martin Henderson) and Ryan (Rachelle Lefevre) scuba-dive down to use this old 1952-type hacksaw – it’s called a gigli saw – to cut off her leg off, underwater. You’ve never seen anything like it,” said Bans.
“We shot it in a tank in a restaurant in Honolulu. You can’t see it but on the other side were people eating — as we’re cutting off someone’s leg,” said Beers.
As for fans wondering who will hook-up with who, it was pretty clear after the first episode but the producers still commented on it.
“One is Valerie Cruz (who plays Zee) and Jason George. We had ideas about their off/on relationship, but once we saw them on, we didn’t want to go off for too long. The other two are Zach [Gilford, Tommy] and Mamie [Gummer, Mina], who have an ease with each other from having gone to college together [in real life],” said Bans.
