Ask Matt – Various Shows – 22nd April 2013

Question:Is there any hope we’re going to see Philip and Elizabeth reconcile or make up a little on The Americans before this season ends? I’m not looking for all their problems to be worked out, but watching the last few weeks has been such a disappointment. The sexual tension and chemistry between those two was phenomenal the first half of the season. As much as I like the spy work, it’s not as interesting to watch when you completely take out the romance and make them into robots. — Hannah
Matt Roush:I don’t know where the show’s going in the finale (and if I did, I probably wouldn’t tell you, this isn’t that sort of column), but I have all kinds of hope that Philip and Elizabeth will continue to try to work things out. The fact that we’re frustrated by their lack of connection and maddeningly bad timing — when one wants to make up, the other misconstrues or has other priorities — is a sign that we care, and that’s a good thing. Elizabeth’s emotional breakthrough in last week’s episode is a positive sign that she will fight as hard for this relationship as she has for her homeland. That’s a major development for this character, and a clear sign that they’re anything but robots. But if you’re expecting a conventional romance here, you’re almost certainly going to be disappointed.

Keri Russell shows off toned physique, confesses ‘I’d be the worst spy of all time’

Keri Russell may have the svelte figure of a secret agent, but the “Americans” star lacks a crucial quality that her on-screen persona possesses.

“I am literally the worst person at keeping secrets,” Russell told the May issue of Women’s Health. “I’d be the worst spy of all time.”

Russell, 37, opened up about the secrets of keeping her trim physique.

“[There’s] this really nerdy workout I do in my walk-through closet in our brownstone,” Russell said. “I do a workout video and use my own music — whatever is inspiring to me at that time, like Alabama Shakes, The Cure, or Mumford and Sons.”

And the actress doesn’t starve herself, either.

“The perfect weekend for me right now is sleep, sleep, girlfriends, glass of wine and a delicious meal with lots of food,” Russell said. “I am crazy for dessert. I eat everything. No one should be denied anything…just don’t eat the whole thing.”

In fact, Russell came to her moderation scheme later in life. In her 20s, the star confesses, she wasn’t a big fan of salad.

“I don’t think I ate a green vegetable until I was 30,” the former “Felicity” star joked. “I didn’t grow up with a mom who enforced that at all.”

These days, the actress is focused on keeping a balance between her acting life and parenting her two children, Willa Lou and River.

“It’s tough,” Russell admitted. “I try to quell my guilt by saying I’m a better mom if I’m interested in my own life. I’m not resentful. I can be really engaged when I am there. I like the yin and the yang of both worlds, and I think it would be hard for me to give up either one.”
