Who was the inspiration for Beverly Keane in Midnight Mass?

There was no one person. The character was first created back in 2010, and over the decade leading up to making the series, there was sadly no shortage of deplorable people in the public sphere who helped shape her. Sadly, I think Bev reminds me of way, way too many people.

the most unrealistic part of midnight mass is that the town sounds great singing every Psalm

was that just another benefit of the angel's blood, an angelic singing voice?!? sorry I just don't believe at least a few of them weren't completely off pitch and just bullshitting the melody like that one John Mulaney bit

midnight mass spoilers !!

nobody watches this show but im insane about it anyway and cried through the entire last episode so ranting about a key detail I just now noticed

ok so at the end of episode 7 when the sun is rising, when it finally sinks in for bev that she is about to die, she tries to bury her head in the sand. Burying your head in the sand is a expression that means to refuse to think about unpleasant facts, although they are relevant to your situation. SHE IS LITERALLY AND METAPHORICALLY BURYING THE FACT SHE CAUSED HER OWN DEATH AND HER ENTIRE TOWNS DEATH!!! In the end, she is the only one we see screaming, afraid to face her own death after inflecting death on so many others. This part also alludes back to Annie’s speech about people being afraid of dying even though they are convinced in a heaven beyond earth.

And God loves him as much as He loves you, Bev. Why does that upset you so much? Just the idea... that God loves everyone else as much as you?

Hi Mike! I hope you and Kate and your kids are well ☺️

I have a question about Midnight Mass: what was it that killed “Father Paul” in Book III? I’ve seen a few theories on Reddit but I was wondering if you could shed some light for us. Some think it was the amount of blood he’d been ingesting from the creature/vampire. Some think he was poisoned. We saw Bev put the compound 1080 back into the chemicals cupboard a few scenes before his death. Did she poison him? And if so, why would she do that? What motive did she have? Did she believe god would perform a miracle in resurrecting him? Or was this supposed to be left to our interpretation?I’m not exactly sure what I believe, but I think it’s an interesting point in the story to discuss.

Thank you for the time you take to discuss and answer our questions both here and on tiktok! ☺️

SPOILER WARNING

Don't read this if you haven't seen MIDNIGHT MASS!

I've been asked this question a few times. For me, Father Paul died because that was the next step in his transformation. He had been regularly ingesting the blood, and getting younger and younger, but once his body reached its "peak self" the next step would be that it would die, and he'd be "reborn" as a full vampire. This is why he can move around in the daylight freely before this moment, but not after.

You see signs of this earlier, as he coughs blood into the sink and collapses at mass. This is his body finally reaching the tipping point.

This is the same fate that would have befallen everyone on Crockett who was drinking the blood. Given enough time, their bodies would have reverted to their peak selves, and then their hearts would have failed them, only for them to rise anew.

But because Riley rejected the "gift," and told Erin what was going on, Bev and Fr. Paul believe they need to accelerate their agenda before someone can interfere. That's why Bev proposes the poisoning at mass. The rationale is that it is only speeding up what is happening anyway, and since no one will actually die, it's easy for them to rationalize their actions.

The theory that Bev poisoned Fr Paul took me quite by surprise, to be honest. Looking back, I can understand how someone can get to that conclusion, but that isn't how we wrote the show. The idea was that Bev poisoned the dog, and that's the canister you see her returning to the closet (she waited until the attention had died down). That story point exists so that we understood she had access to the poison, and how quickly it kills, to set up the Midnight Mass sequence.

That said, I'm always grateful and amazed by what people will put together on their own. I also believe strongly that once I'm finished with a show and it comes out, it belongs to its audience... so if that's what someone got out of it, I don't like arguing with them!

Hope this is helpful!

Bev Keane tasting blood off of her fingers was a life-changing moment, truly.
