A recent TVLine spoiler report shed some light on Grace's (Makenzie Vega) character arc in season 7 of The Good Wife.

Some fans of the CBS legal drama were concerned about Grace not returning for the next chapter and start vanishing like her brother Zach in season 6. Showrunner Robert and Michelle King assured fans that Grace would be just as present as she was in the previous season.

"You're going to see exactly as much of Grace as you would any other season," Michelle King said. "She will be as involved in Alicia's life as any teenager of her age would be."

In fact Grace will be taking on a new role in season 7 as Alicia's (Julianna Margulies) assistant. Robert revealed that we will get to see more layers to Grace.

"We're going to see a new side of Grace," Robert said, "not just the religious side."

The fact that Grace will be stepping into Alicia's office had been hinted at previously. Margulies had posted images from the set of her new office in July, and Vega was spotted in one of the pics. She also captioned the image in an endearing way:

"Friday was the first day back to work. Season 7 has started filming! Here is a picture of Alicia's new office, Alicia's beautiful daughter, Grace, and a photo of my real grandmother who has been put in a frame and placed on Alicia's desk. She was one of the first to graduate NYU Law School in 1924. What an inspiration."

Season 7 will premiere on October 4.

The season 6 finale, entitled 'Wanna Partner?' aired on CBS on May 10.
