HILARY DUFF & CO-STARS: 'WE'RE TOTALLY IN THE DARK!'

We get the goss from the cast of How I Met Your Father, now streaming on Disney+

Like its predecessor, How I Met Your Father has captured viewers’ intrigue by dropping clues about each character that will ultimately lead to the show’s endgame – the revelation about who Sophie ends up with. But do the cast of the show have any insights into who it might be?

“I wish we did, but we’re in the dark!” insists Hilary Duff, 35, who plays lead character Sophie. “It has to be Jesse, right? No, I don’t think the writers know and they’ve kept so many options open for future seasons.”

Chris Lowell, who plays Jesse, says it would “simplify the story” if they did know it’s his character, but like the rest of the audience, he’s happy to keep exploring it.

“Truly, none of us know,” the 38-year-old says. “And that makes it a lot easier because we can’t spoil anything! For the first season, we sniffed around for clues in the scripts, but it became so clear the writers are playing a long game, so we’ve thrown it out the window. It’s fun to learn in real time.”

That’s not to say they haven’t tried to guess. Tom Ainsley, who plays Charlie, and Suraj Sharma, who plays Sid, spent a night investigating the clues.
