"The Blacklist" season 2 spoilers show that the mystery surrounding the identity of Elizabeth Keen's father will have to wait before it unfolds, as Red supposedly remains the same person albeit under different circumstances.

James Spader teased "The Blacklist" season 2 spoilers to Boston Herald as he said that the producers and writers of the show have placed the big reveal on who Elizabeth's father in the backburner.

"That's something to just let percolate for a bit. Elizabeth Keen has spoken of a memory of being in a fire when she was a child, and somebody pulled her out of that fire," he said. "She may be assuming that it's her father, but we've never said whether it's her father or not."

While he understandably remains coy about giving away more "The Blacklist" season 2 spoilers, he did say that Red has changed his manner of operation in relation to his arrangements with the FBI.

"He's the same person, but the circumstances that he's putting himself into are certainly different than what has preceded [them]," he explained.

According to Inside Pulse, which dished out more "The Blacklist" season 2 spoilers, the burns on Reddington's back doesn't necessarily mean that he was there at the fire or he was the one who saved Elizabeth from being engulfed in the flames, as some fans have speculated.

"That story has not been extrapolated on," he said.

He added that the writers telling Liz's father would be taking the easy way out since there are other conflicts to pursue.

"If the route is circuitous enough, the destination becomes less and less important. I wonder whether that will continue to be the most important question that people ask as the show goes on, or whether the more immediate relationships and the nature of those relationships will eventually become more compelling," he said.

"Given our show and what our show is, I don't think anything is as simple as it appears," James Spader said.
