He went on to thank ABC and ABC Studios for “the opportunity and creative freedom,” and to the “brilliant cast, writers, and crew for dedicating themselves to the most rewarding experience of [my] career over the last six years,”. Nowalk made a point to personally thank the fans and viewers of the show and stated “the only reason the show exists is because of your loyalty and enthusiasm. I can’t wait for you all to see how it ends, with twists and turns and all the craziness we love to create every Thursday night. Buckle up.”
