How real a deal is Wills new romance with sportswriter Tammy (played by Elizabeth Reaser)? Personally, I’m not quite feeling them yet.
Well, it’s a little hard to form opinions based on the few minutes that we’ve seen. But yeah, I think she’s here for a little while. I really enjoy the character, how they’re writing her and what it’s bringing out in Will. And I love how it adds complexity and obstacles for that part of the storyline while showing the audience a more playful side of Will. I don’t know how it all ends up yet, but I’ve been enjoying where it’s going.
I’ve been a fan of Elizabeth Reaser’s from her work on ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ the short-lived ‘‘The Ex List’....
She’s a great actor, really funny, and good to have around. I also like the dynamic that Tammy is a sportswriter, so she and Will connect on that level. It gives Will something that he can have on his own so it’s not sort of revolving around the triangle [with Alicia and Peter]. I think that’s real, and it’s believable. I think this dynamic is going to stay around for a while.
In the recent TV Guide cover story, the producers said Alicia would become “a bit jealous and possessive of Will as he enters this new relationship.” Is that something you have seen in the scripts?
Yeah, I would say that. It’s all about balance. You have a connection between two characters – one’s married and the other is sort of living the bachelor life – so this evolves that part of the show. That isn’t just plausible but it becomes implausible when you don’t have a character settling down with someone. It raises the stakes, which is a good thing.

“The Good Wife” star Josh Charles’ character Will Gardner declared his love for Alicia (Julianna Margulies) in the season premiere, but the voice mail in which he did so got deleted before she could hear it. Now a new woman has come into his life.
“At the end of the last episode, you met a sportswriter named Tami played by Elizabeth Reaser. Tami and Will’s relationship develops and you’ll see how that affects the dynamic between Will and Alicia,” Charles tells Zap2it.
“The whole dynamic progresses,” he continues. “Pretty soon here you’ll see that take a bit of a step in one direction. You’ll see stuff get dealt with little by little. I haven’t seen that episode myself yet, but I’m very excited to see how that turns out because I think it was handled really well. People are going to like it.”
A rep for the show tells that Reaser has at least two more episodes to air: “The hope is for many more.”
