'The Good Wife' Season 6 Spoilers: Kalinda And Cary's Relationship To 'Become Tedious' And 'Turn Gray?' [VIDEO]
As season 5 of The Good Wife recently wrapped, spoilers for the next chapter of the CBS legal drama have already started to do the rounds and the producers of the show dished about the fate of Cary (Matt Czuchry) and Kalinda's (Archie Panjabi) relationship on the show.
Alicia And Peter's Marriage 'Not Dead,' Show Set To 'Explore' The Non-Traditional Relationship?
Michelle and Robert King recently spoke about the tensions between the duo to TVLine. While the finale of the CBS legal drama focussed on many things, one of the important storylines that was teased out was Cary finding out about how Kalinda has been manipulating him via the leaked teleconference at the Lockhart/Gardner. Speaking about all that went down, Michelle suggested that the fact that the betrayal was out in the open and a known fact amongst colleagues now.
"I don't think it plays so much as surprise as mortification to have these things not only said aloud, but witnessed by your colleagues," she said. "That's what really crashed upon Cary. Will their relationship continue in some way? Probably, but is there going to be less trust? Sure."

Robert also suggested that Cary might've been particularly hit by the fact that Diane (Christine Baranski) was in the know and the fact that she so "boldly" brought it up with the partners was disconcerting.
"One other thing that makes it hard on Cary is to have Diane talk about it, and this is a tool they have had at their disposal. It's one thing if Kalinda and Cary know they're using each other," he said "It's another thing to have it so boldly discussed in the [Lockhart-Gardner] boardroom: "Oh, we've used this technique before, manipulating Cary." Whether Cary and Kalinda can survive is a really good question. It's a relationship we enjoy, but one of the things we found with relationships on our show is, when they're too close to happiness for too long, they actually become tedious, and they kind of turn into gray. It's like a salt that's lost its taste."
The highlight of the finale was Eli Gould (Alan Cumming) proposing Alicia (Julianna Margulies) becomea candidate for State's Attorney. The cliffhanger obviously had to do with the big decision Alicia will have to take now.
The finale, titled A Weird Year, aired on May 18.
