‘The Good Wife’ season 6 spoilers: Boss on Archie Panjabi’s future, more

Sunday night’s season finale for “The Good Wife” contained quite a few surprising moments, but to us one of the biggest ones is simply going to be Diane dropping the gauntlet, and her and Kalinda making the decision to fight back rather than just giving in to Louis Canning and company. This was not just a powerful moment, but one that is also going to inevitably shift and leave its mark over the course of next season.

So can you make the assumption right now that Archie Panjabi and Christine Baranski are going to be spending a whole lot more time working together? It sure sounds like it, at least based on some of the comments that co-creator Robert King had to TVLine:

“Yes, we can conclude that. First of all, the actresses [Archie Panjabi and Christine Baranski]love working together. One of our worries was what the loss of Josh [Charles] would do to Jules’ [Julianna Margulies] character and Christine’s character. But actually, a second worry was that Archie and Josh played very well together, you know, in these bar scenes they would have. It was really nice to see when we put Christine and Archie closer together, how even though their acting styles are incredibly different, there was a real chemistry there too, which I guess we’d always played it a little cooler up until then. Now, it makes sense in the reality of the show that these two are hitting it off.”

Is this inevitably going to lead to some more good stuff for both Kalinda and Alicia together? We have to think that this is the hope, but such things are not going to happen overnight with the baggage that they have.
