Everyone seems to agree about one thing: Miguel is no replacement for Jack as Rebecca’s husband.
If you’ll recall, we learned in Episode 2 that 1) Rebecca and Jack part ways, but we don’t know whether it was Jack’s death or if the couple split up beforehand, and 2) that Rebecca is remarried, to Jack’s best friend Miguel.
Considering how much time Miguel spent telling Jack how great Rebecca was for him, it left a sour taste in fans’ mouths that Miguel would be the one to grow old with the Pearson matriarch.
“If after episode 15, you don’t love Miguel or understand him or give him a chance, you might just be an unhappy person in general,” he said at a This Is Us screening for Television Critics Association members.
Even though Moore swears she doesn’t know how or why Rebecca ended up with Miguel, she doesn’t see it as nefarious.
“People just assume that Miguel slitd his way in,” she said.
