Meryl Streep Thanks John Hoffman for Scene

Meryl Streep expressed heartfelt gratitude to John Hoffman, co-creator of 'Only Murders in the Building,' after filming a romantic scene in Season 3 with Martin Short. During a late-night shoot on a Manhattan ferry, Streep, visibly emotional, thanked Hoffman for the opportunity to portray such a role at her age, calling it 'the greatest thing ever.' Hoffman reflected on the moment as one of the most gratifying of his career, hoping audiences would fall in love with the couple as much as the cast did. Streep's character, Loretta, emerged as a romantic interest for Short's character, Oliver Putnam, and their storyline continued into the recently concluded Season 4. The show has been renewed for a fifth season, amid ongoing speculation about the off-screen relationship between Streep and Short, which both have denied. The finale of Season 4 is set to air on October 29.
