The Gilded Age Season 3 finale left fans of George (Morgan Spector) and Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) absolutely devastated. So how are the couple’s biggest fans — Larry (Harry Richardson) and Gladys (Taissa Farmiga) — going to handle the latest developments on the HBO hit? Maybe not as poorly as you might expect…

**Spoilers for The Gilded Age Season 3 Episode 8 “My Mind is Made Up,” now streaming on HBO MAX**

In the final moments of The Gilded Age Season 3 Episode 8 “My Mind is Made Up,” George floors Bertha by revealing that he isn’t sure he wants to be in their marriage anymore. He’s still furious about how Bertha handled Gladys’s marriage to the Duke of Buckingham (Ben Lamb). As Morgan Spector explained to DECIDER, George not only can’t forgive himself or Bertha for betraying Gladys with an arranged marriage, but he also feels like Bertha’s obsession with marrying into the British aristocracy suggests that what he’s built isn’t good enough.

Okay, but the Russell family unit involves more than just George, Bertha, and their feelings. It also includes Larry and Gladys. We’ll have to wait for The Gilded Age Season 4 to learn how both kids take the news, but DECIDER asked stars Harry Richardson and Taissa Farmiga how they think Larry and Gladys will react.

“I think they’ve been such a strong unit for our characters’ whole lives, so it will be very interesting,” Harry Richardson said. “Both being like, ‘Ha, we were right! This isn’t the way to do things!’ But also in another way of being like, ‘Oh no, we actually care about both of you and even though we argue with both of you, we need you.’”

“I think, you know, family and love being on the rocks can be really upsetting,” he added.

“Absolutely,” Taissa Farmiga said. “I think if it happened earlier in the season, I think it would be easy to say that Gladys would be on her father’s side.”

Farmiga then referred to The Gilded Age Season 3 Episode 6, when Bertha journeyed to England to help her daughter.

“It was such a bonding moment of when Bertha came to Sidmouth,” Farmiga said. “I think she could finally see Bertha’s perspective. So I think in a way she would try to talk to her father to mend it, almost in the same way that her father came to her and was like, ‘I’m here for you. What do you need?’”

“I think Gladys is going to come back and would try…” Farmiga paused, before adding, reluctantly, “Say her mother was right. Admit it.” 

“Hopefully we’re all part of the familial healing together,” Richardson said.

“Do a nice meditation session together,” Farmiga said, joking. “But also we’re a good team! The siblings are a really good team.”

“I think we’re going to sit them down.” Farmiga then affected a New York accent, “Say, ‘Listen. Let’s talk about it.’” 

“Follow in our footsteps now,” Richardson said in his own New York accent.

“Yeah! We’re the big kids,” Farmiga said.

“We make the choices round here,” Richardson said.

We’ll see if that tactic works when The Gilded Age Season 4 comes out on HBO.
