‘The Blacklist’ season 2 spoilers: How could Tom Keen return?
Ryan Eggold may be a series regular on “The Blacklist,” but we imagine that one of the challenges that the show is having right now is pretty simple: Trying to figure out how in the world they want to use the Tom Keen character on the show the rest of the way. After all, we already know that he is a guy who Reddington has told to stay away. At the same time, he is so important to Liz Keen’s history, and now that we know that he and Red have been working together this whole time, it makes a little more sense that he would pop back in eventually.
As for how it would happen, remember what happened between Tom and the harbormaster at the end of the fall season? Well, executive producer John Eisendrath tells Entertainment Weekly that this could be one of the major reasons why we eventually see Tom pop up once again in this world:
“Tom killed that guy and Liz was there … The residual effect of that is going to come back and be something that will haunt both of them, and in fact, might put Liz in some jeopardy and require Tom to decide whether or not he’s going to assist in helping Liz get out of the trouble that he, in many ways, put her in.”
Obviously, we’d like to see Tom back, and almost in a more evil role than anything we’ve seen so far (which is saying something). Liz cannot expect that you’re going to lock someone up forever and assume that they are going to be reasonably okay with it!
What do you want to see from Tom if and when he comes back on the series? Let us know with a comment.

Just hope the show’s writers don’t write Tom out of the show. Next to Spader, he’s the best part. His relationship with Liz has to evolve and mature. What happened to the baby that they were going to adopt? He really wanted to adopt the baby girl. Did he go it alone? Was it a coincidence that the baby’s mother’s name was Jenny and Red’s daughter’s name is Jennifer? That would make for an amazing story arc. Liz and Tom need to continue to work on their relationship. He was so in love with her. Perhaps the Task Force will need to recruit his services as a teacher in future to infiltrate a private school to prevent the students from becoming terrorists or selling state secrets from their influential parents.

J m totally agree with you. Tom is in love with liz.. Liz, j think, loves Tom too but it is very difficult for her to imagine that she is always in love with him after all what he made her, the lies.. She held him.. She had her revenge, it was normal… Tom to show his love for her, if his love always exists, is necessary help her…

J m agree with you… Tom loves liz Enormously . Tom lied to liz . Liz by holding him, she took revenge in a way… She deserves that he helps her, especially if he really loves her.. Tom has to help her.

I’m really looking forward to Tom being back. He adds alot to the show.
I don’t want to see him more evil, but much less. Maybe have some justification for his bad deeds. He treated Liz terribly! but he seems to be in love with her, and she still has deep feeling for him. After all, locking him up for three months gave her some revenge. Also Megan Boone does well in her scenes with Tom.

About Tom more evil … it is just an idea or bet, not a real spoiler. Megan Boone said something about some justification ( but in her opinion is not enough to come back to each other)
I agree with you about Tom and Liz!
