Their last meeting ended with Jadis pulling a gun on Gabriel to eliminate any loose ends from her past.
And how would he have felt had Jadis gone through with her plan and killed off his character?
We spoke to the actor to get his take on the return of Father Gabriel.

It was a little trippy.
I kept hearing the theme song toThe Sopranosgoing from Manhattan into New Jersey.
Pretty much everything I shoot is out of town.

It was a little weird.
It was like: Did it happen?
Did you even see Andy or Danai on set while shooting your scenes?
I appreciate the apology, but thank you.
[Laughs]
What was it like sharing scenes with Pollyanna again?
I love her process.
I love her energy.
I love her spirit.
I love her creativity.
I hadn’t thought I’d be working with her again, especially not with those characters.
It took a little time.
What did you think of the scenes that you guys had together meeting on that log once a year?
Father Gabriel doesn’t say as much, it’s just that he was there for her.
I think they speak volumes to the connection that they actually had.
I thought it was very brave on her part and very generous on his.
So it was kind of a beautiful little way of seeing these characters dance together again.
How would you have felt if Jadis had gone through with it and they had killed Gabriel off?
I’m not going to lie, I would felt some kind of way.
I would have been like, What?
No song number before I go?
No showing some talents for the next job?
