The doctor is not only in, she’s staying and getting a promotion!
Gotham has formally upgraded Morena Baccarin to a series regular ahead of the show’s upcoming second season, TVLine has learned exclusively.
The Homeland alumna joined Fox’s Batman origin story in January in the the role of Dr. Leslie Thompkins, a love interest for Ben McKenzie’s James Gordon. The recurring gig included a Season 2 series-regular option, which the show has now decided to exercise.

Never saw that coming lol.
ReplyDeleteGood for her, she's a fantastic actress and I'm incredibly glad that she keeps landing these amazing gigs. However this is one show I won't follow her to, Gotham lost me in the middle of season 1. Just not my cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteShe's one of the best parts of Gotham :)
ReplyDeleteUgh.
ReplyDeleteThey are going to break-up anyway.
ReplyDeletetoo bad I just dropped the show.
ReplyDeleteat some point she has to meet Bruce Wayne
ReplyDeleteSame here. She was one of the few things I really liked.
ReplyDeleteOne of the only bright spots of the first season...so yay! Undecided if I wanna keep watching though.
ReplyDeleteNiiiice! And super expected... still...
ReplyDeleteTrue...
ReplyDeleteMy speculation is that come next season Barbara will be in Arkam and pregnant (from Jason), and Jim will want to adopt the baby (girl :D ) because he feels responsible and Leslie won't be able to deal with that and they'll break up...
And then if the show gets a S3, it will be Jim dealing with being a single dad and a police officer and still being in love with Lee, but putting duty and responsibility first kind of a thing...
And I'm clearly getting ahead of myself but I think it quite a plausible scenario.
YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
ReplyDeleteIt's the only plausible one.
ReplyDeleteI really understand that. But apparently I'm a glutton for punishment.
ReplyDeleteI am liking this!! But I was hoping for time jump.
ReplyDeleteYAY! I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking this is how it will play out.
ReplyDeleteDon't care about Gotham ruining Leslie Thompkins, but what does this mean for Morena in The Flash as Gideon?
ReplyDeleteNice, I thought they'll kill her on the finale since killing is the new norm in TV... Love her angelic face everytime she's on :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I thought she would leave or only be a guest star in S2 I think she can still can voice Gideon on The Flash also :) She could record the voice over phone if really busy :)
ReplyDeleteSo nice to hear this! My fellow Brazilian really is doing great on the show. Congrats, Morena!
ReplyDeleteKnew it.
ReplyDeletegreat news!
ReplyDeleteWhat a woman...
