A new report speculated the return of Johnny Elfman (Steven Pasquale) on The Good Wife after his emotional exit in the latest episode of season 6.

Could George Clooney Guest Star In The Good Wife? 

E!Online got the showrunners of the CBS legal drama to weigh in on the love triangle among Alicia (Julianna Margulies), Finn Polmar (Matthew Goode) and Johnny. An inside source also dished about Elfman's return on the show.

Through this season, Alicia is seen drawn to both Finn and Johnny but she gets physically intimate with her handler over Finn as Goode's character would remind her of Will Gardner (Josh Charles) a bit too much. Co-creator Robert King told E!Online that they were pretty sure they wanted to avoid a triangle this time around.

"We wanted to do something this year that avoided the love triangle aspect that are fun, but also become a trap for the series," he said.

After Alicia's great win, Elfman seemed to silently take his leave as he saw her celebrating with her husband Peter Florrick (Chris Noth). He seemed to be leaving for good as he tells Marissa Gold (Sarah Steele) to wish Alicia luck, as he moves on. There defintiely semes to be a connection between Elfman and Alicia, even though she tries to resist it.

An inside source told the publication that the return of Elfman pretty much depends on schedules, this means the show does want him back and fans want to see more of him, so he will most likey return.
