For those who first “met” her on The Good Wife, the latest Elsbeth casting news is exciting.
Ever since Elsbeth got her own spinoff, we’ve been speculating whether anyone from The Good Wife would appear on The Good Wife . New show.
Cary Argos was mentioned in the pilot, but that’s the only connection to The Good Wife so far.
No, Cary Agos won’t return to Elsbeth, but others will
The Elsbeth casting news has nothing to do with Cary, although he was once mentioned as someone who could investigate Captain Wagner in Elsbeth’s stead.
Instead, Christian Borle will reprise his role as Carter Schmidt, a lawyer and frequent adversary to Alicia on The Good Wife.
He was a relatively minor character, first appearing in season five; I don’t remember him at all, so don’t feel bad if you don’t!
What was Carter doing in New York?
It’s possible that an actor from The Good Wife was a guest star who turned out to be the killer, but that seems unlikely since the synopsis for the episode mentions someone Elsbeth suspected, but it wasn’t him.
When a billionaire dies in a freak accident during a space training simulation, Elsbeth suspects Neil (Robert Riegel), another embittered tycoon and wannabe astronaut, to be the culprit. Elsewhere, Elsbeth’s day turns upside down when she reunites with a former co-worker in Chicago.
– Elsbeth Season 2 Episode 2 Synopsis
Elsbeth is never wrong, so if she thinks the guy played by Rob Riegel is the killer, he probably is.
Elsbeth’s encounter with Carter bored her, but why?
Elsbeth casting news includes the idea that Elsbeth will be cast aside for meeting Carter.
Elsbeth is usually one of the biggest optimists on television and mostly treats unexpected events as surprises, so why is Carter looking for her?
I don’t remember if she ever went up against him on The Good Wife or The Good Fight, but if she did lose to him, his presence might put her off.
Elsbeth is not one to dwell on the past or let it control her, but despite her unorthodox approach to the law, she rarely fails, so defeating her opponents is likely to leave a lasting impression.
Of course, it’s possible that she just didn’t expect to see him in New York.
It’s a big city, so even if he had a legitimate reason to be there, it seemed like a huge coincidence that she met him.
This Elsbeth casting news doesn’t contain any information about Carter other than his existence, but it’s also possible that he could be a rival investigator, especially if Elsbeth is supposed to investigate another potential Dirty cop words.
Whatever the reason, this is an exciting development for Elsbeth Season 2.
Over to you, Elsbeth fanatics!
