Yeah it's strange to wonder what it could be, I keep seeing spec that it's all because Archie won the Emmy in her first year, but I really think it must be something more personal than that for the actors to not even be able to be in the same room together? Getting professionally competitive is one thing, but this seems to be more than that...
And I totally agree, I don't see the point of going to all the time and expense of filming the scene separately after they had already worked around not giving them scenes together for two years. My guess is that the King's scripted it in the hopes that it might pressure the actresses to relent and agree to work together for one last scene? It seemed in interviews that the Alicia and Kalinda friendship was something that they saw as the heart of the show in the first three seasons, so I can understand them wanting to do something more with them before Kalinda left, it's just too bad that personal issues couldn't have been put aside long enough to get the filming down. (I mean geez it's not like they even had to speak to one another, they could have just done the whole thing in character, then gone their separate ways!) The King's should have never hyped up the scene so much
