“I think they deserve a nice vacation. That’s what those two need,” the Parks and Recreation alum, 44, exclusively told Us Weekly at the Governors Ball. “[They need] one of those vacations where you go and make up. I think that’s what they need. They need a make up vacation.”

Ed and Madeline were rocky for most of the HBO series. Madeline cheated (unbeknownst to him), but it clearly put a strain on their relationship. In the finale, it appeared that a death brought them closer together.

“If they decide to do a season two — I loved the ending, it was kind of cliffhanger-ish. So maybe there will be more. I don’t know,” Scott told Us. “It really was a treat to work with someone so profoundly talented [as Reese]. I got to go to work every day and see this incredible performance just right in front of me. It was amazing. It was like watching a magic trick.”

“It was so exciting,” Scott said. “I’m so proud to be a part of it. Jean-Marc [Vallee], and Nathan [Ross], and Reese [Witherspoon], and Bruna [Papandrea], and Nicole, I’m just lucky to be on for the ride. It’s an incredible show. I’m a small, but proud part of it.”
