One Day at a Time showrunners reveal the unwritten storylines fans will never get to see

Entertainment Weekly

Gloria Calderón Kellett and Mike Royce discussed with EW their canceled Netflix and Pop TV comedy officially ending after Sony TV couldn't find a third home. "Generally speaking, the next episode after 'Supermoon,' which is now our series finale — a pretty lovely finale — was going to be about Lydia's (Rita Moreno) disillusion with the idea that Elena (Isabella Gomez) can't get married in a church," says Kellett. "Wilson Cruz was going to play a hot priest in that one. I'm sad we were never able to shoot this one because it talks to a lot of Catholic families who have people they love from the LGBTQ community. For Elena and Syd (Sheridan Pierce), there's somebody else Elena found cute and she was having a difficult time understanding what that meant for her relationship. We had some really great stuff around that but I can confirm they do stay together! Elena ends up getting into Yale but decides not to go. That was the big surprise, she goes but doesn't feel at home there the way that she'd hoped. So she ends up going to UCLA instead. With the money, she saves she buys a car and she opens up some resources for Papito, as well. We also had an episode where they go on a road trip to Yale to check out it out for Elena. Schneider (Todd Grinnell) has an RV that's decorated inside just like the Alvarez house." ALSO: Justina Machado and her One Day at a Time co-stars say goodbye.
