The Good Wife Season 5 Spoilers: New Love Interest After Will Gardner Death? Producers Talk Alicia And Finn Romance As Josh Charles Opens Up About Leaving

As "The Good Wife" season 5 recovers from the death of Will Gardner, spoilers regarding a new love interest for Alicia have surfaced.

It is definitely no coincidence that Matthew Goode's character Finn was introduced during the episode of Will's demise, and executive producers Robert and Michelle King hinted at a bigger presence for the recurring character on "The Good Wife" season 5.

"He’s Alicia’s connection to Will’s last moments, because he was there [in the courtroom]. He was with Will. And it turns out he was fairly heroic in covering Will. And Finn was hit a few times with gunfire because of that. So Alicia feels a connection there," said Robert to TVLine.

"Josh created a great jolt of male energy in the show. We wanted an equivalent jolt once we knew Josh was leaving. So no matter what way Josh was leaving the show, we knew we needed to get more male energy."

But given the lack of a strong male lead and love interest for Alicia, spoilers confirm that it is possible Finn could become the new romantic lead on "The Good Wife" season 5.

“We’re not going there [yet],” continued Robert. ”A lot of what we do is watch the dailies and see what comes out. There is a lot of fun chemistry between Julianna [Margulies] and Matthew [Goode], but we can’t [address the potential for romance] until we react a little bit more to what’s being shot.”

Do you think Finn should become Alicia's new love interest? Or do you feel it's too soon?
