The Good Wife's Carrie Preston on an Elsbeth Spin-Off: "I'm Open to Anything"

The Good Wife will end without Kalinda, but it certainly could not wrap up without one final appearance from everyone's favorite quirky lawyer:

What to expect in the final episodes

Because of her upcoming NBC comedy Crowded, Preston was only available for one episode of The Good Wife.

Per usual, Elsbeth deploys her idiosyncratic methods to uncover the truth.

[...] coming into in the picture is Elsbeth's heretofore unseen ex-husband and fellow attorney Mike (Will Patton), who Preston says will illuminate Elsbeth in a new way for fans.

Discovering new aspects about the mercurial attorney is why Preston loves playing her -- and why she believes Elsbeth has been a fan favorite since her first appearance at the end of Season 1.

People, I think, want to see things on TV that they don't expect, Preston says.

Knowing exactly how her brain works now, you can use your own imagination of what images would be flying through her head [in Sunday's episode].

[...] memorable and beloved is Elsbeth that creators Robert and Michelle King have specifically mentioned her for a possible spin-off.
