[TV Line] It was one of the most contentious TV breakups in recent memory, so it stands to reason that the inevitable rebound will be equally as divisive.
But rumor has it that an unnamed drama series is finally giving the remaining half of the aforementioned fizzled-but-popular romance a brand-new love interest.
By all accounts, the incoming character, casting for which is now underway, is going to be a major addition to the ensemble (the words “series” and “regular” have been tossed around). It also sounds like this newcomer will fill a need that his/her predecessor could not, thus helping pave the way for a romantic connection.
What else can we divulge about this would-be, could-be courtship? Hmm…. The relationship would be interracial, possibly stymied by the new character’s own, recent breakup, and… I’ve probably said too much!

Unless I missed an article on the Toby character leaving the series, that announcement, since he has been there since day one, I predict a huge storyline of these two finding their way back to each other. An interracial story line sounds more GA. Although it would be interesting drama to play on in Kate having an African-American brother and this being discussed in the past, that identify facet.
Britneys Scrunchie says
I think this may be The Walking Dead, and the character who will get the new love interest is Michonne.
Since Andrew Lincoln (Rick) is leaving, his romance with Michonne will fizzle, leaving an opening for a new character. Danai Gurira (Michonne) is African-American, and Rick is white, so it’s been an interracial romance. Given how popular it’s been, I could see the show doing something similar with a new romance for her.

Grey’s Anatomy. Does anyone watch it without Dempsey?
Parade says
Who?
Gerseychick says
Dan Connor, the show will be cancelled..NO Roseanne NO show…
jrizzo says
This gives me a Grey’s Anatomy vibe? Maybe Jackson, since April just left, they were an interracial couple, and a lot of people (including myself) were upset when they broke up.
I don’t really know what Shonda Rhimes is trying to achieve at this point. She’s broken up every good couple on that show for virtually no reason, to the annoyance of everyone. She should’ve quit while she was ahead.
KatarinaJ says
That show NEEDS to be over.
Flanky says
No idea

Could this be a female cop to replace Clayne in Leathal weapon? a white cop?
Or this is a black woman to replace Roseanne Barr?
yashenny says
Nah, they’ve already casted Sean William Scott to take Clayne’s place.
BadBarbie says
Roseanne
Dan gets a girlfriend after they kill off Roseanne
Probably not but it could work :/
OhYeah says
An intriguing thought, but Roseanne isn’t a drama, it says they’re “finally” giving someone a new love interest after a contentious breakup. I don’t think this fits. 🙁
Kellikopter says
I really hope you’re right. It would be delicious to watch so many heads explode in response. Their target audience would absolutely riot!
Kellikopter says
But it says the show is a TV drama. A girl can dream though…
ILoveNutella says
@kellikopter. you calling roseanne’s audience trump loving racists? da hell. i have watched every episode and own the dvds and huge fan of the show and i am not white.
felicia says
Is Rosanne/The Conners a drama tho? 🤔🤔🤔
felicia says
Could be a love interest for Meredith but the rest of the clues don’t fit as well!
MadMaxTheLab says
Wanda Sykes or Whoopi Goldberg as a love interest for Dan Connor on The Connors aka Roseanne
Fortero says
If it’s Grey’s Anatomy I hope they’ll bring back Dr. Burke. That would be a huge intrigue since Meredith was bff with Yang
Kellikopter says
So I’ve been googling TV breakups and I believe the breakups that fans hated the most in the last year are Riverdale’s Betty and Jughead and Supergirl’s Alex and Maggie.
Riverdale has reverse-engineered fandom storylines before, and there’s a ton of Betty and Veronica ‘shippers, which would be interracial.
As far as Supergirl, Alex really wants a baby so maybe she’ll meet a girl that’s ready for a family or has kids. Batwoman is happening, and Kate Kane is openly lesbian and…
Kellikopter says
Continuing my comment from above, Batwoman is supposed to take place right after Kate Kane broke to with Maggie as well… That would tie the two together already.
Kellikopter says
Broke *up with Maggie
lober says
I think it’s a new love interest for Supergirl, but I have no idea who it might be.

Chicago Fire..Casey gets a new romantic partner since the lady that played Dawson has left the show. Good move??? Yes the Casey/Dawson relationship became stale and she became a shrew.
CSLear says
Getting smashed by a truck and dying can hardly be called a breakup, but it has been announced that Meredith Grey is getting a new love interest in the coming season.
Matt Casey on Chicago Fire is a possibility, as Gabby was apparently leaving to join Puerto Rico relief efforts at the end of last season, with Monica Raymund opting to exit the show instead of renewing her contract.

hate to bring it up but this is the ‘continuum’ of the PC forces that control the media. Most recent TV & Film productions have the co-stars being from both races (white/Afro-American) Oh, for the good old days before PC! (I know, I will be called out for being raciest and perhaps a white privileged troll!- So be it!)
