After the dramatic showdown -- which is set to continue in the midseason premiere -- between Alicia (Julianna Margulies) and Eli (Alan Cumming), speculation is rife about this spurring Eli's exit, on The Good Wife.

Could Hillary Clinton Guest Star In An Upcoming Episode?

In a recent interview with TVLine co-creator, Robert King, put to rest rumors about the fate of Eli. When asked if this will be the end of Eli, King reassured fans that that was nowhere near the truth. "No, not at all. Alan Cumming is in all the episodes this season. Life will be very difficult, but Eli is a survivor," he said.

As Eli is unravelling and in some form of confession mode, fans are also wondering if he will come completely clean with Alicia about Peter's (Chris Noth) hand in rigging the election as well. King suggested that it was very unlikely that Eli would go there again.

"To quote the Great McGinty, Eli had his "one crazy minute of honesty." He was vulnerable, and guilt-ridden, and self-pitying, and he divulged something he didn't have to," he said. "And now he'll pay for it. Honesty, unfortunately, isn't really the best policy on our show. It will be very hard for Eli to be honest again."

The midseason premiere episode, titled 'Iowa,' will actually show Alicia being forced to work in close quarters with Eli as the duo set off to campaign for Peter in Iowa.

Season 7 will return on January 10.
