I think we as viewers are incredibly lucky that James LaRosa even takes it upon himself to share with us his plans for the showโs end even if it might never come on screen. I think it just speaks to the respect he has for fans, and the love and dedication he has for his own creation, show and characters alike. Too often, a show gets cancelled and then we barely have closure through interviews of the showrunner but James has kept giving and giving. Deleted scenes, script outtakes, the general outline of the whole final season of the show. To know that Zero and Jude (and all the others) were โitโ in the end just shows how he really cares and knows his characters and respects them as much as he respects the dedicated fans.
I meanโฆ I never doubted that Zero would come back and fight for Jude in the final season and win him back and in the end itโs even sadder that we canโt see it on screen because knowing the outline for S5 just makes S4 a well-written, now incomplete, first part of the characterโs final development. Retrospectively, Zero did love Jude and changed immensely over the course of S2 and S3 but I think he had still so much to learn. And that would have been the focus of S5. Learning to really love himself and get to the place Jude was himself. Unabashedly himself. Getting to realize how much he lost to Noah. By now weโve seen the whole Adam Senn thing but I think, though it was all phrased weirdly, he was onto something. Zero was perhaps not what weโd call a full-on โsociopathโ but he still had some way to go before reaching the end. And I really think that while Adam was perhaps trying to put distance between straight-himself and bisexual-Zero, there wasnโt any big on-set drama/feud that prevented him from returning in S4 as opposed to the other engagements he said he had. Seeing that he seems on good terms with James regarding all the Hit the Floor posts Iโd go and say heโd have been on board with it, had it happened.
In a sense, though, weโve got almost all. The storyline, how it ends and even a scripted proposal. A proposal thatโs just the perfect parallel to their kiss on court. I mean we already got so much more than what we were expectingโฆ the only thing that can top that is if James releases the entirety of the scripts !

ZUDE PROPOSAL SCENE (HTF S5)
So, in case you missed it, James posted on his Instagram a part from the script of what wouldโve been season 5 of HTF, and we got to see the Zude proposal we have all been dreaming about since the moment Zude became an actual thing. And I can only say I felt all the feels while reading it. We might not have gotten to see it on the screen, but to know it actually happens in the story and get to read how it happens... it gets me emotional just thinking about it guys!
Reading how these two characters we got to see develop and evolve together throughout the years, get the closure and the happy ending they deserved is definitely something that not only made my day, but it just ignited this blissful feeling in me. Iโm sure most of you felt the same. Weโve been here for years and after season 4, Zude was beginning to seem as something from the past, something we were sadly going to have to forget about; and this feeling intensified after the announcement that the show wasnโt coming back on. Iโm positive this entire community wound up feeling heartbroken during that time.
But here we have it, had the show gotten picked up again, not only would we have gotten to see Zero come back and fight to get Judeโs love and trust back, but we wouldโve gotten to see them reach the peak of their beautiful love story with this proposal and at the end, their wedding. Yes, itโs terrible weโll most likely never actually see it, but it is there and it is what โhappensโ.
Also, getting to read how all the other characters came together as a team to make the Devils rise up again is nothing but wonderful. Iโm just so so happy for Jelena and Terrence, and Ahsha and Derek. They all deserved what they ended up getting. I am nothing but in love with what I got to read today.
Anyway, Iโm pretty sure this is already way too long and you all already got the point haha. I just wanted to share my feelings and thoughts with you because I know you comprehend how I feel since we have all been in this together for so long.
Devils Nation rise up. Zude Forever โค๏ธ
