She's so lovely. And is it me or is she actually looking younger than when "Bones" ended?! Love her in everything she's in.💙🌿

[@jimmyjupiter8887]

She's aging in reverse. Marisa Tomaeii does the same thing. The one in My Cousin Vinny. Sorry if I butchered her last name lol

[@fraybirch1930]

Omg she is glowing honestly. Is she bathing on virgins blood or what?

[@macmartharm12]

Omg you are SO not the only one to say this...I completely agree. If Emily would have done Angel, she is the one who could return and play and ageless vampire instead of David B (who is aging nicely and yes VERY SEXY but you can see he is aging). Emily looks young, her beauty never stops. 😊. LOVE Emily in her shows, doesn't matter which shows, she always brings a certain something to her characters. Brennan (and Booth) are my ALL TIME favorite characters, but Emily as Suzanne was freaking brilliant to watch too (kicking arse on the bad guys reminded me a bit of Brennan's resilience 😉😁❤. Emily has to get her on screen partner in crime for a BONES reunion ❤❤❤❤. #bringbackbones #bringbackbrennanbooth #emilydeschanel #davidboreanaz

[@divergentsenior]

Hard to catch lightning in a bottle twice, but Hollywood has not had an original idea in decades, so certainly possible. I would like to see David and Nathan do an "Odd Couple" reboot. Unknowns (NOT mickey mouse club refugees) would have to play the grown up kids to suspend my disbelief.

[@catsandalcohol99]

It's going to have to take place in the future because canonically her daughter Christine would be like 11 years old right now

[@lucyinthesky4682]

I think she looks younger and healthier than when Bones ended because her kids are older and she's had a break from acting. Emily's not the "typical" Hollywood actress and pushed the "perfect" body after her pregnancy. She was real. You don't just bounce back after giving birth. She, herself even said that she was burned out after Bones. She focused on herself and her kids.

[@isabelleblanchet3694]

She had the weight clause removed from her Bones contract in the early seasons.

Immediately into her first sentence, I want to know what she talked like before Bones. That style of elongated words and the ups and downs of her speaking are identical.with Bones the character. i want to know if it began with Emily or with Temperance.

I do not think Bones got the acclaim it deserved. Everyone complained about girls not going into science as a profession but nobody bothered to point out that on the Bones show the most intelligent person on the show was a female scientist. Bones was great for anyone who loves trivia because BONES was always spewing out interesting trivia !

I love how Emily and David still mention each other, and Bones, in recent interviews, years later, and even both of them being in different shows now. I know nothing about Nathan’s show the Rookie, haven’t ever seen it, but I wonder how it was for somebody like Castle looking up to Dr. Brennan. Pun intended TV producers?

[@abigaylesuding1145]

I love The Rookie!! It’s an awesome show

[@macmartharm12]

It is totally sweet that they do mention each other even 5 years later and are close. Emily and David B def have a sweet friendship awww... Never had any desire to watch Castle. Imo, I feel like that show is a copy cat of Bones, doing similar SLs from images I have seen online. I heard the 2 actors on Castle didn't end well with each other on their show which is sad.

[@sa-eedadaniels6853]

Watch the Rookie and Castle, Nathan Fillion is awesome in both and the characters are VERY different!! You will NOT be sorry!

[@mrs.u8901]

I've never been one for reruns, but bones changed that. I honestly lost count how many times my husband and I have watched them. The castle serious was pretty good as well. Just not something I'd watch more than 1½ times. Meaning jumping over episodes. Lol Love the Rookie. It's one of those shows that have you falling in love with the characters you first rooted against. Very much prefer the Rookie over Rookie Fbi version. We found the only way to avoid the deja vue feeling (since they're essentially all the same genre) is to find the tv shows with casts we can/do love.

[@macmartharm12]

Those are the words I hear repeatedly from anyone she works with. Her parents raised her well in the industry 😊. Very down to earth and from what I have heard from fans who met her and co-workers/friends from Bones and other series she did, she is the sweetest person. According to one of the Bones producers, he said Emily and Michaela Conlin (who played Angela on Bones and is best friends with Emily IRL) are the sweetest people you'd ever want to meet. This is a consensus among anyone in interviews when asked about Emily😊

[@allykins1987]

Love bones. Only just recently watched the whole series. I think it'd be neat to have more... Maybe even just like tv movies like PSYCH has been creating. A series on young Temperance Brennan and her life as she grew up into her anthropology studies could be cool too. Had to laugh when she said never on the occult in bones... There was definitely the creepy Gormigon cult! How could she forget?! LOL Still traumatized by Lance Sweets exit... I feel like they could've ended his role without tragedy. His character was a huge part of the story. Adored his character the whole show 💗
