Nip/Tuck's tame finale at least left fans with a sense of closure after the show's seven-season run: Sean is off to do pro bono work in Bucharest, Matt is starting a family with his manipulative transgendered partner Ava (returning guest star Famke Janssen) and Christian is still a manwhore.

Now that McNamara/Troy has officially disbanded, TVGuide.com caught up with star Dylan Walsh to find out what he thought of the finale, why he thinks fans weren't necessarily rooting for Sean by the end and what he'll miss most about working on the FX drama.Nip/Tuck

TVGuide.com: What did you think of the finale?
Dylan Walsh: It's been a strange thing for seven years to be waiting for the fate of Sean McNamara — my fate essentially. I remember when I was reading the script, I was thinking, "Wow, I would have expected more from Ryan — more fireworks, more insanity." And he clearly made the choice that he didn't need to do that, but instead just to find where these guys go. It always was what he wanted it to be, which was a love story between two heterosexual men. It was going to take something extremely righteous and good for Sean to pursuade him to get out of that marriage.

TVGuide.com: Were you hoping for more fireworks and insanity?
Walsh: I wouldn't say hoping. I've trained myself to be ready to do the craziest circus acts and also some of the best written scenes. The range was so wide that I long since dispensed with hoping. [Laughs] I think having the finale have a different tone than you would expect was a smart way to go.Nip/Tuck

TVGuide.com: Do you think fans will be disappointed that the doctor duo split?
Walsh: I feel like while you've been watching the show all these years, the people at one point wished Sean would go off and do something good and fulfilling and get away from all the angst with Christian. So then when you deliver it, there's a somber kind of recognition like, "Oh, I don't know, it was pretty good — like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers." That last shot, with me walking away with this baby to Bucharest, was a little odd. It wasn't the kind of shot that makes you happy and jubilant. I think it's a smart way to end it because you're not necessarily cheering for him....
