The soulful, but emotionally-scarred Spencer Dutton entered the “1923” narrative early in the first season, doing so about as far from Montana as he could get. While he was clearly not happy killing lions and drinking away war memories on the African continent, things began to look up when Alexandra entered his life. But he was eventually called home by his dear Aunt Cara to help protect his family’s coveted ranching lands, and that journey got more than a little complicated.
As Mirren told Deadline, Spencer’s storyline was truly one of the best throughout the first season of “1923,” saying, “I got the sense that Taylor was really imaginatively attracted to Spencer’s adventures, which were great for the audience, I thought.” She went on to add, “He made a great storyline, which was really beautiful to watch.” Still, if one were looking to read the proverbial tea leaves in regards to the first part of that quote, it seems even Mirren thought Sheridan might have gotten a little carried away with Spencer’s troubled homeward journey.
She went on to tell Deadline in no uncertain terms, “I hope Spencer comes home soon, though.” Even as effective as Cara’s beautifully narrated letters are on the show, Mirren is partially hoping Spencer finds his way home soon so the show can get away from that trope, quipping, “I dunno how many more letters I’ve got in me.” But for now, it seems she’ll have to wait like the rest of us for Spencer’s highly-anticipated homecoming.
