We saw this coming and now it is confirmed that Seth Gabel is not a series regular anymore when Fringe returns for its fifth season.

 

 

According to TV Line, Seth Gabel will not be back as a series regular.

 

In a recent interview with TVLine, Fringe‘s leading lady, Anna Torv, noted that the odds of Gabel returning were slim.

 

“I don’t think [we'll see Lincoln again],” she lamented. “Unless we go to the other side, no” — a prospect made less likely by the season-ending closing of the bridge between the two worlds.

 

A Fringe insider, however, isn’t ruling out a guest appearance or two by Gabel during the final 13 episodes.

After the satisfying and series-finale like season 4 finale of Fringe, it is time to look forward and see what to expect on the fifth season.

 

 

Here is the interview with  executive producers J.H. Wyman and Jeff Pinkner by TV Guide:

 

First about the statement “They are coming!,” does “they”  means the Observers? 

J.H. Wyman: Yes.

That is inline with the 2036 plot.

 

About the mix of the current timeline and the futuristic one:

Wyman: Well, let’s say that basically 2036 is extremely important to Season 5. It’s crucial, but having said that, everything that you have seen in Fringe from Season 1 all the way to 4 is really, really, really, really important to what’s going on in Season 5, and 2036 is part of that. It’s a 13-episode sprint; there’s no filler episodes. It answers some very bold questions. It culminates with a very satisfying type of crescendo that really is so important for the fans, that’s the biggest thing. That’s the only thing that’s really important is to make sure that they feel absolutely satiated.

 

 

Now that Olivia already died and was brought to life again, is there any possibility that she would die again in season 5?

Wyman: At the end of every season, we close a chapter, and you’ve heard us say that before, but this chapter being closed is a gentle closing for a reason. We wanted to allow the characters to be in the emotions that they fought for and deserved and allow them to experience a little bit of peace and understand where they are.

Jeff Pinkner: Part of the answer to your question is yes, Olivia healed because of all the cortexiphan. At the end of Season 4, as Walter said on the screen, because of the wildly activated cortexiphan in her body, this experiment to heal her brain tissue would work. Because that’s not constantly the case, because that’s just a fleeting condition, absolutely, she could be killed.

Wyman: They don’t know if anything is over. So they’ve been given that warning. I think that it’s best to have the audience not know either and be with them in that trepidation of going forward, going, “Well, maybe.” That’s more like real life, isn’t it?

 

Let’s go back with and relate the ‘X-Man’ that we saw before in the animated episode of Fringe.

Wyman: Basically, when Walter was going through the Nanites. From that episode when she was in William’s head, she said, “I know that’s the man who’s going to kill me.” She had a feeling that when she was in William Bell’s head, that there was a man and it manifested itself as a character in William Bell’s head in the comic that they’re experiencing and it had that emblem on it.

 

Then, ultimately, in this episode, you saw in the in the Nanites they had the emblem on it. When Walter recognized that that was William Bell’s creation by that mark, because that was the mark that William used to mark things with. So really, in a sense, it was William Bell who killed Olivia. You could argue, saying when she came out of William Bell’s head, she said, “That’s the man who’s going to kill me,” it was actually William Bell.

 

 

About the possibility of the two universes to be bridged back again.

Wyman: We really appreciate you saying that because I think, no secret, that it was a really tough endeavor for us to actually introduce that. We fell in love with them and we were hoping that the fans would and we’re so glad to hear when people say that they missed them.

Pinker: We had a conversation with Fox earlier in the season while we were closing the door, one of our Fox executive partners said, “I was so sad. I had tears in my eyes when we closed the door, and we said, “Yeah, these were characters that you never wanted us to introduce in the first place because you were afraid that nobody would care about them.” She said, “I was so wrong.”

Wyman: Everything is a possibility on Fringe.

 

 

And lastly, what can fans expect from season 5 of Fringe?

Wyman: We’re so thankful. Four years of everybody working incredibly hard, people have put their heart and soul in this show, and by some amazing miracle, we get a chance to get more canvas to paint on, and it’s like the biggest thrill and honor, and we’re just going into it knowing that we’re very fortunate.

 

The main concern is in no way shape or form are our fans going to be let down. That makes us feel really good that they’re going to be able to see a conclusion that is emotional, that is epic, that is going to make sense, that they can emote with and go through our characters and watch them on their final journey and put this show away in a manner that is worthy to all the hours they’ve invested in our characters. The only thing it does is make the pencil be a little bit more sharp, that’s all.

Fringe was renewed for a 13-episode season 5. But before having the said season, recent scoops have already told us what to expect: a possible William Bell’s return, Lincoln Lee’s future and what was 2036 all about. Read the spoilers below from EPs Jeff Pinkner and Joel Wyman.

 

 

As for Bell’s possible return, the producers are optimistic about it but there is still no go signal from the former.

 

As Pinkner said, “We basically erected a sign outside of Leonard’s house that says, ‘Please come back to Fringe,’ and we are hoping that by Season 5 he says yes.”

 

Also, the 2036 episode brought the possible plot for the fifth season. But would the final season be all about us vs the observers?

 

The EPs stopped short of confirming buzz that Season 5 would heavily involve the year 2036 seen in Episode 19: “That future is important to our storytelling, but it’s the not the be all and end all.”

 

And lastly, is Lee out of the show already since the bridge was closed last episode?

 

Pinkner stepped carefully around that question, but did go on to note that the inter-universe bridge “is closed because of the problems that David Robert Jones is causing, so if our team can somehow dispense with Jones, there is absolutely a possibility of that door being open again.” And on the Gabel topic itself, “Seth is spectacular and awesome … but as for his standing going forward, to say anything about that would be also to reveal things that are coming ahead,” Pinkner hedged.

 

Note: This article is written before the season 4 finale of Fringe. As of the moment, Lincoln Lee’s fate is still undecided.

Fringe was renewed for a fifth season and additional 13 episodes, according to Fox.

 

 

“Fringe is a remarkably creative series that has set the bar as one of television’s most imaginative dramas. Bringing it back for a final 13 allows us to provide the climactic conclusion that its passionate and loyal fans deserve,” said Fox entertainment chief Kevin Reilly. “The amazing work the producers, writers and the incredibly talented cast and crew have delivered the last four seasons has literally been out of this world. Although the end is bittersweet, it’s going to be a very exciting final chapter.”

 

“I mean 88 [episodes] is good, but 100 is better,” executive producer J.H. Wyman told THR in February of his desire to see the series continue. “We would never want to continue unless we felt that we had something incredibly creative to say and to do. We do and if the powers that be deem it a plausible solution to go forward, then we’re thrilled,” Wyman added.

 

Finally, a season five for Fringe! I think the short season will already suffice for the closure of the series. Nice move Fox!

We finally met Henrietta “Etta” Bishop on Fringe season 4 episode 19 titled “Letters of Transit.” *Warning* Do not continue reading if you haven’t watched “Letters of Transit.” Spoilers ahead.

 

 

Etta, played by Georgina Haig,  and Simon ((Henry Ian Cusick) are members of the new Fringe team. They released Walter Bishop from the amber. Later in the episode, another two members of the team were saved, Astrid and Peter. With the settings set on 2036, Etta and Simon were trying to release the former Fringe team to save the world from The Observers takeover.

 

What happened in the past was described in the opening scene:

 

They came from the future.

 

At first, they only watched.

 

Arriving at key moments in human history.

 

We called them OBSERVERS.

 

But in 2015 they stopped watching… and seized control.

 

Citizen uprisings proved bloody and futile.

Those who survived became known as “Natives.”

 

In an attempt to show their allegiance some Native factions became “Loyalists” and were marked by the Observers.

 

The original FRINGE TEAM fought the invasion but was quickly defeated.

 

FRINGE DIVISION was allowed to continue at a reduced capacity, but only to police the Natives.

 

The resistance was quickly overcome… or so they thought.

 

 

So can we now call Etta The Daughter?

 

By the way William Bell is back but not for long as he was in amber and Walter sliced his hand. There is also a new key Observer named “Windmark.” And about Broyles, I think he is still on the side of the natives and he still sees hope especially upon seeing Walter’s candy.

 

What about the dented bullet attached on Etta’s necklace? Is that the bullet that killed Olivia? Is Olivia even dead or just in amber? I think let us just wait for the next episodes of Fringe season 4.

Here are some spoiler snippets about the season 4 finale of Fringe.

 

 

“We’ve shot two [endings],” John Noble told TVLine at the opening of the Beverly Hills Paley Center’s “Television: Out of the Box” exhibit, which was created in conjunction with Warner Bros. TV.

 

Noble says many “big questions” will be answered in the season finale airing May 11 — including the matter of Olivia being fated to die (and whether the animated episode’s “Mr. X” figures into it) and Walter shouldering the burden of responsibility for the warring universes. Viewers also can expect a surprise on the villainy front (David Robert Jones plays “a very big part, but not as big as you think,” Noble teased. “There’s something bigger.”)

 

With the series season 5 chances still in 50-50 chances, here are the comments of Peter and Broyles.

 

But as Joshua Jackson told us Thursday night, “The writers have given themselves a device by which we can tell a fifth-season story without having to leave this season’s story open.”

Although Lance Reddick, who plays Broyles, could not elaborate on the alternate endings, he did affirm, “The way [Season 4] ends could function as a series finale, but there’s one storyline left open that could end up as a cliffhanger for the beginning of the fifth season…. We’ll see what airs depending on what [Fox and WBTV] decide.”
