‘The Good Wife’ season 6 spoilers: The latest on Kalinda’s exit plan

It is no secret at this point that Archie Panjabi is leaving “The Good Wife” at the end of season 6. It’s been common knowledge for months. The only part of this that has remained in some way a mystery is figuring out just how the character is going to go. We hope that it is in some way triumphant, and a victorious way for the character to move forward. We’re not going to name names, but this is not the sort of exit where you have to kill her off because it would change the entire perception of the character if they were to just up and leave.

It seems as though those behind the scenes of the show are reasonably aware that Kalinda has been in some ways suffering as of late, and maybe there will be a change with that before the story ends. This is at least suggested in what executive producer Robert King said recently to TVLine:

“Hopefully, what you see is a renewed Kalinda. Obviously, everybody knows we’re heading towards a divide of some sort, because Archie’s leaving the show, but also Kalinda is in deeper water than she’s ever been before. The real question is whether she brings herself back from the exhaustion [she is currently feeling], and that, I think, is true. Archie is always the most fun as an actress when she does that — when you see that spark in her eye, like, ‘OK, now I know what I need to do.'”

In the end, we feel like the best for Kalinda this season is still to come, and we’re very appreciative of that given that we know what Panjabi can do, and we feel like this is a character who has not exactly had the same momentum in years that she had in the early days.
