Theories of RedTruth (7)

The highly-rated police procedural drama series by CBS, "The Mentalist," has been speculated to return to television somewhere in September or October as filming for the upcoming seventh season has already begun, according to reports.Show creator Bruno Heller revealed to The Hollywood Reporter some insights on what to expect in the forthcoming season, which will include a "satisfying conclusion."

"The pleasures of the show rests in the byplay between Robin [Tunney] and Simon [Baker]. Getting rid of Red John allowed us to focus on that human aspect of the show. Red John, as it turns out, was a convenience for Jane because it meant he didn't have to confront the rest of his life and what he's doing," he said.

With regards to the speculations whether fans could hear wedding bells for Simon Baker's Patrick Jane and Robin Tunney's Teresa Lisbon, the executive producer indicated that there will be resolution for those questions.

"After [Red John] goes, for both Lisbon and Jane, there is a palpable sense of 'What now? Do I really want to continue doing the same thing?' It left the two of them without an excuse to decide where that relationship was going. They had always been able to keep it separate. Those questions start bubbling up and the rest of the season was the resolution of those questions," Heller explained.

Meanwhile, Emily Swallow took to her social media to confirm the alleged news of her not returning to season 7.After appearing to 14 episodes in "The Mentalist," Swallow, who plays an FBI agent named Kim Fischer, will leave the team. The site also speculated that there's likely another female character to take Fischer's place in the story.Zap2It, on the other hand, indicated the return of Morena Baccarin as Erica Flynn, a matchmaker who murdered her husband. The character was last seen escaping from prison and later called Jane offering some information in exchange for pardon.

Erika has agreed to help Jane and the CIA in exchange for  a pardon on the murder charges she’s still facing and the chance to return to the U.S. But as always Erika has agendas of her own, one of which may, or may not, be inserting herself between Jane and Lisbon.”
