“We don’t yet have a plan to bring her back, but it’s not a closed door in any way,” Gero said. “She’s certainly busy because she’s so amazing. We love her, and we’d love to find a way to bring her back, but there’s no plan as of yet.”

In the May 17 finale, Shepherd’s plan to take over the U.S. government was foiled, and viewers last saw Hurd’s character getting interrogated by Archie Panjabi’s Nas.

No, not disappointed…that story line had run its course (judging by the ratings, maybe run too long!), and it’s time to get back to what made Blindspot the hit show it was in Season 1.

Glad they aren’t bringing her back. Hope they get back to the way it was in Season 1. I liked season 2, but it wasn’t up to par with season 1.

I almost think they should have ended it with Season 3. What can they do in Season 4?

Do you mean season 2? Season 3 is the upcoming season. I’m looking forward to it. I checked out of The Blacklist many seasons ago as I found Meagan Boone’s wooden acting to be unbearable and the stories simultaneously dull and frustrating (what a paradox), but I’ve never found that issue with Blindspot. Plus Patterson is all kinds of awesome!

You guys are both wrong as this past season was S4.

Eric H is wrong, Blindspot has only been on for two seasons. The new season with be #3.

Think the story has run its course. Time to move on. And yes, I found the first season more entertaining overall.

She’s the reason I stopped watching. Seems to be the only actress employable as she is in EVERYTHING!

Yes very disappointed she was a major part of the story line!!!!!

I never liked the Shepherd character, and felt the focus last season was very uninteresting. I never regularly watched The Blindspot last season; and like many other recent broadcast series, the first season was far & away the best. I doubt that they’ll do it, but the best thing the show’s writers could do is to re-watch EVERY episode of the first season, and analyze what was good about it–and try to use those elements going forward.

what happened tp her becoming a recurring character, like they said earlier? this is disappointing. i understand she won’t be a regular anymore as shepherd is no longer the main villain, but i think it would’ve made sense for to still appear from time to time, given that roman seems to be the main villain this season. too bad, i liked the actress.

Sandstorm was the worst story arc ever. Let’s hope Season 3 is better.
