Apparently, it was a network decision because of the warm reception and critical acclaim that “The Blacklist” has been receiving through all of its three seasons on the air.
According to reports, NBC is planning a “The Blacklist” spinoff TV series which could possibly star Famke Janssen. The veteran Hollywood actress will make her debut in episode 21 of “The Blacklist” to air on May 5.
Janssen shall reportedly take on the role of Susan ‘Scottie’ Halstead, which could possibly be the mother of Tom Keen.
Subsequently, the spinoff TV series will air one week later or on May 12. In addition to Janssen, Edi Gathegi, who plays Solomon in “The Blacklist,” shall also make his way to the spinoff TV according to reports. Solomon is a Cabal operative who is trying to hunt down Raymond Reddington as well as Tom and Liz Keen.
Based on initial reports, Edi Gathegi has already signed a deal to co-star on the spinoff TV show.
And because Janssen’s character is to be his character’s mother, reports also have it that Ryan Eggold may likely become part of the brand new series and he and Janssen will have to team up the way Red and Liz Keen are doing in “The Blacklist.”
Actually, reddington is liz’s mother…remember that episode where the blacklister can change people’s appearances and make them disappear? Cape May episode showed us that because of Red’s grief, he’s having flashbacks of his past..that woman also played the same song on the piano that Red plays. All through the episode, they’re actually giving us clues to support my theory…like in the last part where the woman touched red’s face and said that he chose well. I think she meant he chose a good face, as a disguise. ;-)
It is pretty obvious, Mr. Kaplan decided that Red was endangering Liz over and over. Now, the baby. So, when Liz makes Red leave the room, the doctor, who still carries a torch for Liz, gives her a drug that slows her heart. Kaplan wisks her body away somewhere she and Tom can be safe from Reds enemies. This gives Megan Boone time to have her real baby and return in the next season. I can;t wait to see what Red does when he finds out.
Please say she is DEAD. Watching the show is like watching a returning champ on jeopardy playing against Turd Ferguson. Reddington is brilliant and her character is completely useless. They should call her Agent Dunsel.
I just hope she is not dead coz she is my fav. character so far,,,I so love Agent Keen people!
