“Oh my gosh, what a great song to exit with, right?”
Guillen tells EW with a laugh.
“But sometimes the universe is like, ‘No, I’ll take it from here.

It was so fun to put together.”
“He was so sweet and soft, and then he exits with such a bang.
It’s like, ‘No, I’m done with this.
[Laughs] It’s George, bitch!’
“He really wanted me to come back for episode 8 which they’re shooting right now.
That doesn’t mean Guillen won’t return toZoey’s Extraordinary Playlistat some point in the future.
As for what George’s potential return could look like?
“We were always talking story ideas,” Guillen says.
“Austin was like, ‘When you do come back, do you maybe have a boyfriend?’
There’s all these different layers that I’m like, wow, yeah!
[Laughs] I love that journey for him.
For now, Guillen is happy to leave on an inspiring note.
He wants viewers to learn from George that you should never underestimate the underdog.
I hope this brings people to that point of realization that I’m going to try something different.
I want to learn that from George.”
Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist2 airs Tuesdays on NBC.
