Person of Interest - Big Plans for Amy Acker

During the Person of Interest Comic-Con panel yesterday, the producers didn't revealed much -- but did say that they have "big plans" for Amy Acker, who plays the character "Root" and appeared in the season one finale.

It was the big twist of the season, so I'm glad that there's going to be a follow up in a big way -- and hopefully not just a one episode resolution thing. It looks like even the cast have no idea what's the plans are as Taraji P. Henson said: "We have to be drunk to get stuff out of them."

From THR:

Fans looking for answers about Person of Interest's cliffhanger finale at the CBS drama's Comic-Con panel did not squeeze much out of creator Jonathan Nolan and showrunner Greg Plageman -- but the duo were confident about bringing back a recent guest.

"We had a great experience with Amy Acker and we have big plans for her," said Nolan, when asked if she would be reappearing in the sophomore season.

And that shouldn't come as a huge shock. The Dollhouse and Happy Town actress made her first appearance in the May finale as a psychologist determined to be a potential crime victim by the Machine. It was later revealed that she was actually "Root," the faceless hacker introduced earlier in the season. The episode left off with her killing Alicia (Elizabeth Marvel) and kidnapping Finch (Michael Emerson).
