Hawaii Five-0's Ian Anthony Dale Teases One Storyline That Won't Be Wrapped Up In the Series Finale

We’re three days out from the series finale of Hawaii Five-0 and star Ian Anthony Dale is opening up about what we actually won’t see on the final episode.

Speaking with E! and reflecting on his time on the long-running CBS series, Ian revealed the one storyline that won’t be resolved and that’s Adam’s relationship with McGarrett.

“Throughout the series, Adam and McGarrett developed a really strong bond built on mutual respect and trust,” Ian shared of his character and Alex McLouglin‘s. “Some of the more troubling decisions Adam made in the final season really placed his and McGarrett’s relationship in jeopardy.”

But it looks like we won’t see a resolve to that.

“By the series end, there is still friction between them, and the audience never gets to see them fully reconcile. I really wish we could’ve seen that happen before it was all said and done.”

Ian did share a behind-the-scenes moment from the final day of filming that will speak to Hawaii Five-0 fans.

“The one that stands out to me the most happened on our very last day,” he shared. “We were filming in a residential neighborhood and had the roads blocked off, and at wrap our entire crew spilled out into the street and formed a big circle.”

Ian added that “the mountains [were] in the background and the sun [was] setting in the distance, we all held hands and sang a Hawaiian song, giving thanks to the island and to each other for the many blessings and good fortune our time together has brought us. It was a beautiful and profoundly appropriate way to say goodbye.”

Hawaii Five-0‘s series finale airs Friday, April 3 on CBS.
