'The Americans' Season 3 Cast News, Spoilers: Show's Big Revelation Coming Soon
Fans are getting more hooked in the unexpected twists and turns of the third season of the hit spy fiction TV drama series "The Americans."
Now that Philip Jennings (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth's (Keri Russel) secrets were already revealed to their daughter, Paige (Holly Taylor), it would only be a matter of time that their identities will be out in the open. And fans were quick to speculate that this could affect the younger Jennings' life.
Series creator Joe Weisberg told The New York Post that "it's going to take some time" for Paige to "digest" the idea about her family's real deal.

"How is she going to react? You've got three episodes to track this kid's response to this cataclysmic event in her life," Weisberg said.
Of course, Paige plays an important role in the whole espionage thing.
"The wild card was going to be Paige," Weisberg said. "She's a full, independent person with her own ideas for herself. Once we came up with the idea of her asking, it made her fit right into that psychological understanding of the family dynamic."
Meanwhile, a report from Franchise Herald tackles on the issue concerning Nina Segeevna's recent condition.
After being pardoned by the Soviet Union for her crime of leaking information to the United States, Nina must keep in mind that her status in the KGB is already tainted and that she has to be wary of her actions.
An interview with Annet Mahendru, who plays the character in question, indicates that the stakes are high for Nina.
"Nina has to be so careful and so honest in a weird way to survive. She can't afford to ever make a mistake, she can't be a goof. She's never just doing one thing, she's operating on a bunch of levels at once. It's exhausting. Sort of like family dinner. But not really," she said.
A synopsis for this week's segment titled "I Am Abassin Zadran" meanwhile indicates that Philip and Elizabeth "must work a formidable Mujahideen commander." Martha (Alison Wright), on the other hand, receives an "unexpected guest." Followers of the show will also see Paige making her move.
"The Americans" Season 3 airs Wednesday at 10 p.m. on FX.
