Rob Lowe and John Owen Lowe on ‘Unstable’ Season 2, What Nepo Babies and the Brat Pack Have in Common, and Why Wrapping ‘9-1-1: Lone Star’ Feels Like the ‘End of an Era’


Rob Lowe and John Owen Lowe on 'Unstable' Season 2, 'reliving old patterns' through the show, 'nepo baby' issues — and the future of '9-1-1: Lone Star.'

And so, in Episode 7, titled “Ron Tabasco,” Ellis and Jackson end up crashing a small-town real-estate convention, where they adopt fake identities and are finally able to get to the root of the tension in their strained relationship. In a wide-ranging interview, the Lowes — who also serve as the show’s executive producers — open up about how their actual relationship has informed the writing and acting of “Unstable,” and weigh in on the ever-present “nepo baby” conversation. Rob: We used to get lucky on “The West Wing” a lot where Aaron Sorkin would write something, we would shoot it, it would be edited, it would sit in the can and it would finally air weeks or months later at the exact same time that that story is actually happening.
