Michelle Randolph Sends Message to Fans After 'Devastating' Finale of '1923'

WARNING: Spoilers ahead

The second and final season of 1923 came to an end this weekend with a devastating finale that left a number of beloved characters dead. 

Among the characters who saw their stories come to an end was Jack Dutton, husband of Michelle Randolph's character Elizabeth Dutton. Following the heartbreaking series finale, Randolph spoke with Extra regarding the death of her character's husband and the father of her unborn child.

"I was shocked. I think, like, the biggest shock for me was Jack… I had to reread it a few times, like, ‘That’s it? Does he come back to life?’ she said. “All of it, there’s no relief, it’s just devastating all around."

When speaking about what comes next for her character, Randolph said Stafford is just "figuring out how to become a mother and do that without your husband."

She predicted a big move for Strafford following Dutton's passing.

“I think Elizabeth is leaving the ranch. She’s, one, an entirely different person than how she first came to the ranch, and also I think that she really has come into her own. She’s a Dutton now. I mean, even just going through that last, in episode 7, the finale, the whole shootout, that changed her," she predicted. "She's a Dutton. She’s going to the East Coast, but she’s not far away.”

With her character's future up in the air, Randolph took to social media with a message for fans. "Overflowing with gratitude. Thank you for watching, for feeling with us, and for loving 1923 the way we do," she said in an Instagram post featuring Helen Mirren.

In reminiscing about her work with Mirren, Randolph said of the iconic actress, "She delivers so many beautiful lines to me and watching her find those moments in scenes and from take to take, I think one of the hardest things about wrapping is, like, I hope I get to work with Helen again."

"Also, she just really genuinely loves what she does and loves being on set and being in character and being around the crew," she added. "I just found that so inspiring and, like, it made me excited to be there with her."

The Yellowstone story will continue with 1944.
