'The Good Wife' Season 7 Spoilers: Alan Cumming Reveals The End Of The Show Is An 'Explosive' Experience [VIDEO]
Amongst various other things about the show, fans are sure going to miss Eli Gold (Alan Cumming) from The Good Wife.
Cumming delivered the perfect meld of serious and funny, emotional and withholding, as Peter Florrick's campaign manager through the show. In a recent interview Cumming spoke about the CBS legal drama's coming to an end and how he feels about it.
Speaking to CBC radio, he revealed that the realization that the series was actually getting over happened gradually. Cumming said that seeing his fictional on screen daughter Marissa Gold (Sarah Steele) say her final lines made it sink in.
"Oh, that's her last line she'll ever say in the series," he said.
Interestingly Cumming didn't have expectations of the show continuing for another season from before, but now that the end is actually nigh with The Good Wife, he says seeing the end was an "explosive" experience.
Looking back, Cumming also spoke about getting the part in the series and originally feeling it was an odd casting choice to make as his roles in the past were vastly different from Eli.
"Everyone thought [the casting directors] were nuts," Cumming said.
"Suddenly, I embraced my middle aged man," he added.
Recently even Christine Baranski, who plays Diane on the show, also had a thing or two to say about the conclusion of her character arc.
Baranski spoke with E!Online said that bidding adieu to the show will obviously be hard on her, especially given what a great show it was when it came to the female characters and the writing.
"When people ask if I'm sad, I understand it's ending, but when you have something that's that well-written and great clothes, great dialogue and great characters, especially when it's female characters," she said. "You don't know what awaits because the Kings really know how to write smart girls, smart ladies."
Baranski also told the media website that she wants to see Diane's exit to be on a positive note and live "happily ever after" in the finale of Season 7.
Here's the official synopsis for the next episode of The Good Wife, entitled "Shoot":
"In a defamation suit over a billboard he put up describing a gun store owner as a murderer. Also, a romantic rendezvous between Alicia and Jason is interrupted when Alicia learns that Grace is being accused of plagiarizing her college entrance essay."
The episode will air on March 20.
