Yellowstone star Kelly Reilly has revealed the one thing she won't miss about her character Beth Dutton.
The long-awaited second half of season five arrived on Paramount+ in the UK today (November 11), marking the conclusion of Taylor Sheridan's fan-favourite Western drama.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the New York City premiere of the final episodes on Friday (November 8), Reilly explained that she is relieved to see the back of Beth's "extreme" smoking habit.
"I hope she gives up smoking one day. She smokes these herbal cigarettes and I hate smoking them so much, there's just smoke going in your face and your throat," she said.

"But I want Beth to want to live, and smoking, the way she does it, is so extreme and it's just gonna kill her. So, I want her to find a reason to be like, 'I love my life, life is beautiful'."

Despite her aversions to Beth's smoking, Reilly went on to reveal that she has taken her character's lighter and cigarette box home, where she'll keep them in a "safe place just in case I need it again".
Elsewhere in the interview, the actor reflected on the years she spent filming Yellowstone, which she described as the "biggest adrenaline rush".

"I'm gonna miss the people. I'm gonna miss the people that I've had such a close bond with for the past seven years. We'll still see one another, we just won't be filming every day," she said.
"Going to work on Yellowstone is like the biggest adrenaline rush. Everyday feels like such an enormous task, especially this year. Some of the scenes I had to do were enormous and brutal.
"They're written so beautifully and so fiercely by Taylor Sheridan. It's an honour to go to work and I'm gonna miss it because nothing really compares."

Reilly concluded: "I've done other jobs over the years whilst doing Yellowstone and I always can't wait to get back to Yellowstone, because they're my people. There's something about the well-oiled machine of it."
Despite the show's end, recent reports have teased that a sixth season could be in the works. In the meantime, fans can look forward to the upcoming spin-off series The Madison, which is due to premiere next year.
Its star-studded cast includes Michelle Pfeiffer, Suits actor Patrick J Adams and Firefly Lane's Beau Garrett.
Yellowstone returned for season 5 part 2 on Sunday, November 10 in the US and on Monday, November 11 in the UK. It streams on Paramount+.
