As part of a recent live Twitter Q&A with fans, Carrie Preston addressed the question of her return as Elsbeth in season 7 of The Good Wife.

Critics Unforgiving Of Controversial Season 6 Finale Scene Of The Good Wife  

When asked what fans can expect from her character in the next chapter, Preston did not confirm her role, but stated that of the showrunners do call her back, she didn't "know how they'll top penguins in my head, treadmill desks" and making out with Kyle MacLachlan in her office. It would be very interesting to see Elsbeth return and lighten things up on the legal drama, which had gotten quite tense lately. It also seems very likely that Preston will be coming back, as the next chapter will reportedly focus on the legal aspect of the show and take things back to the court room, which will give plenty opportunity for Elsbeth's quirks to take over.

Another fan also asked Preston about how much fun it was for her to film the 'Call Me Maybe' scenes in The Good Wife. "That song is STILL in my head LOL. I had a ball.. the writers give me such wonderful things to do on #TheGoodWife," she tweeted in response.
