Memories from the 'Bones' Reunion

The lively panel discussion was a trip down memory lane for the cast, with castmate Emily Deschanel, 48, joining in the reminiscence. Although Deschanel didn't personally recall White's audacious quip, she expressed her admiration, acknowledging White's reputation for being a "legendary potty mouth." The conversation was moderated by PEOPLE's Sean Mandell and included insights from other cast members like T. J. Thyne and Tamara Taylor.

White, who guest-starred as Dr. Beth Mayer in two episodes of Bones, brought her endearing spark to the series in its 11th and 12th seasons. Beyond Bones, she graced the screen with roles on Ugly Betty, 30 Rock, and the animated hit SpongeBob SquarePants, charming audiences until her passing in December 2021.

Reflecting on the Series

The Bones series ran a successful 12 seasons from 2005 to 2017, garnering two Primetime Emmy nominations along the way. Cast members took the opportunity at the Televerse Festival to reflect on their experiences. Deschanel, who now co-hosts the rewatch podcast "Boneheads" with co-star Carla Gallo, shared her insights with PEOPLE, "It's been really interesting to see the show because all of them I hadn't watched for 20 years." She noted the fun and nostalgia in looking back at the episodes, appreciating the solid foundation of the beloved series.

As fans continue to enjoy reruns and revisit episodes, the delightful anecdotes from the set – like White's candid first impression – keep the spirit of Bones alive, celebrating both its legacy and the unforgettable moments shared by its cast.
