In addition, previous interviews with the cast and crew of “Person of Interest” fuelled speculations that the TV series is due for axing soon, although fans are hopeful and optimistic that another network would rescue the show from dire straits.
Meanwhile, same-sex relationship has certainly gained a breakthrough last year with the decision of the US Supreme Court to recognize and allow same-sex marriage. It has no longer become a contentious issue in America but a fact and a way of life that even TV series are now incorporating the idea to their subplots.
“Person of Interest” is no exception as its upcoming Season 5 will highlight the lesbian love between Samantha ‘Sam’ Grooves, whose hacker name is Root, played by Amy Acker, and Sameen Shaw, played by Sarah Shahi.
During the recent ComicCon, Amy Acker confirmed that there will be more Root and Shaw romance in the upcoming fifth season of “Person of Interest” when it finally premieres on CBS on May 3.
She added however that her character Root will continue to struggle with choosing between Shaw and the Machine. She explained that both are priorities to Root.
She recalled that at the end of last year, Root had to decide that if she did not do everything to save the Machine, there is also no purpose on saving Shaw.
I can’t wait…So sad it won’t go past this season but we do need closure of it all. LOVE PERSON OF INTEREST.
