In April 2020, Sutter opened up about watching his wife's time on SOA come to an end, a moment that left many fans speechless and remains a hot topic among loyal fans of the show. Responding to a fan how it felt to see his wife film a scene in which she dies, Sutter joked, "Umm... no, because we didn't actually kill anyone. It was all make-believe. Katey is at home right now. But thanks for looking out."

Although Sagal's time on SOA has come and gone, she is still adding credits to her name. The actress currently stars as Louise, the girlfriend of Dan Conner, on ABC's The Conners. She is also set to star in Rebel, an ABC drama written by Grey's Anatomy showrunner Krista Vernoff and inspired by the life of activist Erin Brockovich. The series was given a straight-to-series order by the network back in September.

With several shows currently in the works, Sagal will be going back to work amid the coronavirus pandemic. Opening up about his wife resuming work during these difficult times, Sutter admitted, "I think about that all the time, about the vulnerability for everybody." Noting at the time that Sagal would likely be resuming work sometime in September, he said he thought it was "doable," adding that "the are levels of protocol put in place that make people feel safe."
