9-1-1: Lone Star actress Gina Torres shares her feelings about the Season 5 appearence 9-1-1: Lone Star Season five is gearing up for its upcoming finale, which airs on Monday, February 3 at 8 PM ET on FOX. While the end of the fifth season of 9-1-1: Lone Star edges nearer, it is indeed a heavy moment for everyone among the cast and the crew. The character of Tommy Vega, played by actress Gina Torres, has had it particularly rough throughout this entire season.
The fifth season of 9-1-1: Lone Star saw Tommy Vega being diagnosed with cancer. As she battled her ailment with rigor and resilience, her hopes were slowly crushed upon discovering that there was no treatment that could ameliorate her suffering. Eventually, Tommy had to resign herself to the fact that she was slowly nearing her end.
During the latest episode of 9-1-1: Lone Star, Tommy received some closure after having a heartfelt conversation with her dead husband Charles Vega, played by actor Derek Webster, as the latter comforted her crisis of being confronted by an uneasy sense of mortality. While speaking in a recent interview with TV Insider, Gina Torres opened up about feeling happy at the opportunity of sharing a scene with Webster once again. This was particularly fulfilling for her as she had been separated from most of the other cast members throughout the fifth season of 9-1-1: Lone Star.
