Keeping all the murders and stalking he had done in the last three seasons aside,Badgley added that the character just"needs love and a hug."

"At this point, I think I've been clear about how much I detest all of his deeds, so, in that context, I would try to love him," he says. "Because, the truth is, he's never gotten that. So I would ask Joe... Honestly, I feel like I would look at him for a long time."

Further explaining, he added, "Because of my relationship with him, I would try to love him.I’m not saying he deserves that. I’m not saying anyone else should do that. I'm saying I would try to love him.''

Badgley continues: "He needs that. He needs love. It's like, I would hug him... I would hold him."
