Viola Davis Reveals Alternate Ending of ‘HTGAWM’ Finale

Warning: HTGAWM finale spoilers ahead!

How to Get Away With Murder cast members Matt McGorry, Karla Souza, and Aja Naomi King stopped by ET Thursday to dish on the crime drama’s first season finale. While they couldn’t say much, they did reveal that the show actually shot multiple endings for the dramatic finale, and now, thanks to series star Viola Davis’ appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, we know what one of those alternate endings was.

The 49-year-old actress, who plays Annalise Keating on the show, joined Kimmel via video conference due to technical issues with her plane, and revealed that the episode almost ended with her character going down to her basement where she and her team were holding suspected murderer Rebecca captive, but instead found her bloodied and dead.

Instead, the show chose to reveal Rebecca’s death by having Annalise confront her associate Frank -- who we now know offed pregnant sorority girl Lila Stangard -- about who killed Rebecca, implying they were both already aware that the innocent girl had been killed.

It’s a satisfying alternative, though we would have preferred the big twist being that side-eye queen Bonnie was actually Lila’s killer. But that’s just us.
