It’s going to be some time before we finally get to Season 4 of The Gilded Age, which we’ll eventually be able to watch with an HBO Max subscription. As I think about where the story could go, I keep coming back to one of my favorite characters: Ward McAllister. The partner-in-crime to society’s alpha figure, Mrs. Astor, is one of only a handful of characters on the show who are based on real people, and for McAllister, played by Nathan Lane, he has reached the end of the line, based on real history. Could this be the end of him on the show, too?
