In September 2010, Lauren Conrad revealed that she and Brody had filmed an alternate ending to the series.[12] | ||||
Aftershow
At the beginning of the season, there was much speculation that original cast member Lauren Conrad (who left the series after Season 5, Part 1) would make an appearance this season, given that it is the last. Despite the crew's effort to persuade her to appear, Conrad confirmed that she would not be appearing on the series, saying, "I really liked how I got to leave the show. I felt like it was on a positive note and I feel like they wrapped up my storyline."[14]
However, MTV later announced that the entire Hills cast from the beginning would reunite on a one-hour live special, The Hills Live: A Hollywood Ending. The event followed the series' finale and its spin-off show The City's series finale. Despite being advertised that the whole cast would appear on the special, Heidi Montag did not appear on the special.[15]
