Uh oh guys! I'm only posting this not because I want this theory to be true but I read this article and it kinda freaked me out. Say it isn't true. Tell me I'm just reading way too much into it. I want VanPelt or Rigsby to have NOTHING to do with Red John because that is like a slap in the face to Lisbon and the team for the past 5 years! ---- Anyway, this article is from cartermatt.com and this excerpt is discussing the introduction of the two new characters who will be replacing Grace and Rigsby. :
The information below comes to us via TVLine: 1. Kim Fischer – A former homicide detective from Dallas who is in her thirties, and is both intelligent and attractive. Is it a possible love interest for someone? You can never rule it out.2. Nick Abbott – A veteran from the Iraq war, and an African-American graduate from West Point who is a very good guy to have on your side … but not a good guy by any means to make angry.One of the other reasons for these new castings are that they merely represent a major jump into the future for the show. The plan right now is to finally close the book on the Red John story after so many years, which means (thankfully) that there will be some other people set for some much-deserved time in the spotlight. [b]The exits of these two fan favorites, based on at least some initial claims, is going to be tied to the Red John story in some way.[/b]
It doesn't sound like they just walk away to get married now does it?
