I can't help but think there is more to the addition of the new agent. I remember Bozer was supposed to be a recurring character and after fans responded positively, he was added full time. With Thornton's character, people didn't like her character so they wrote her out. I don't believe Peter Lenkov would add a new regular character without slowly introducing her. He knows people are going to speculate about being a love interest or potentially breaking up the bromance etc. She reminds me so much of Nikki I thought they would go in a different direction if they were incorporating a love interest. Plus now that they are filming episode 9, he would have to come up with a way to get rid of her if fans don't like her. Twitter had some mixed responses, but I heard from blogs and facebook, she was not well received.
They did no real press on her until 2 weeks before the season premiere. I just see something here but I am not sure exactly what. There was so much to explore from last season with each character, why add to the mix??
There is speculation based on the scene released by Justin of him lying on the ground looking like Mac did it and the mention on Justin's instagram of an "emotional scene" in what appears to be Jack's apartment that Mac becomes closer to Cage and it breaks up the team, but future scenes show all of them together especially Mac/Jack so I am not sure.
Isabel is a great actress, I just don't like her character here..She should be recurring if anything.
Would love to hear thoughts...
