New love interest?
Rumors suggest that a new character could possibly come between the fan-favorite "Quantico" couple.
It is already known that a colorful roster of new characters is coming its way on Season 2, as Alex makes her way into the Secret Service. First, there is Russell Tovey as the mysterious Harry Doyle, and then there is Pearl Thusi as Harvard lawyer Dayana Mampasi. Not to be forgotten is Blair Underwood as Owen Hall, and lastly, Tracy Ifeachor as prodigious actuary Lydia.
But the casting call for Harry Doyle's character calls attention to itself, as he is described as "just as likely to seduce your husband as he is to pick his pocket when it's over." Could this mean that the artful yet mischievous dodger Harry possibly be a new love interest between Alex and Ryan? (Not to mention, of course, that "Looking" star Tovey is quite a looker as well).
New dilemmas
Apart from the possible fallout in terms of her love life, Alex is also faced with a greater challenge: adjusting to the CIA life. In the "Quantico" universe, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (from where she came) and the CIA do not get along together. So fans can definitely expect several flashpoints between the two federal agencies in Season 2.
Apart from that, a new headache for Alex in the form of photojournalist Leon Velez can be anticipated in the next season. Velez is played by Aaron Diaz. Now, it seems like Alex will also have to dodge the press as well, as Velez's character is depicted as someone who is ready to get his hands dirty on the job.
Excited for the latest season of "Quantico" yet? Watch out for its season premiere on September 25, 10 p.m. ET., on ABC.
