Will Trent isn’t exactly known for having the most stable, long-lasting relationships, and the show might be losing another romance in season 4. The ABC police procedural TV series mostly revolves around GBI Special Agent Will Trent and the cases that he and his team investigate. However, the show also heavily explores the characters’ personal lives, including their love stories.
Throughout Will Trent, the couple at the center of it all has been Will and Angie. The childhood friends’ on-and-off relationship has been a source of a lot of the drama in the series. But following the events of the Will Trent season 2 finale, Will and Angie’s romance has become obsolete, opening the door for them to explore other connections.
Scott Foley’s Return As Seth In Will Trent Season 4 Is Still Unclear
Foley Isn’t Confirmed To Return
Unfortunately, for Angie, her latest romance might be dead in the water after Will Trent season 3. Ahead of season 4, it’s unknown in what capacity Scott Foley will appear, or if he’ll return at all. Foley plays Dr. Seth McDale, Angie’s love interest in Will Trent, and the two ended things in a promising place at the end of season 3.
However, ABC hasn’t confirmed that Foley will reprise his role as Seth in Will Trent season 4. The hope is that he will come back, of course, but nothing is for certain. According to TVLine, Foley is working on a Prime Video TV series (It’s Not Like That) that could interfere with the filming schedule for Will Trent season 4.
The good news is that It’s Not Like That‘s production is based in Atlanta, which is where Will Trent also films. Consequently, co-showrunner Liz Heldens seems confident that Foley can pop in now and then as Seth in the ABC crime drama. Following the season 3 finale, Heldens told TVLine:
“We can shoot [Foley] in and out of our show pretty easily — like, in a day for an episode, so we’ll see how that all unfolds.”
Why Seth & Angie Can’t Be In A Relationship Without Foley’s Will Trent Season 4’s Regular Appearance
Angie Is Pregnant
Angie decided to keep her and Seth’s baby in the Will Trent season 3 finale. She was hesitant at first because she was raised by an abusive mother. However, after fighting off terrorists and being scared out of her mind that she had had a miscarriage (and learned that she didn’t), Angie realized she wanted to be a mom.
Seth assured Angie that he would be on board with any decision she made concerning their baby. But, after finding out that Angie was going to keep it, Seth was clearly over the moon. So, the two Will Trent characters are preparing to have a baby together heading into season 4, meaning Foley has to be present for the narrative.
It won’t make much sense if Angie and Seth stay together if he’s not around to support her through her pregnancy. Becoming a mother is a huge development for Angie. Her childhood was turbulent, to say the least, and her own mom was a monster. As such, Angie’s going to need Seth to help her navigate this next step in her story.
If Foley is regularly missing, that might mean Angie and Seth are in for a breakup in Will Trent season 4. Given Foley’s character, though, it would take a lot of convincing to make their split believable. Seth has been great for Angie, and it would be confusing if he abruptly left her in the ABC police procedural series.
What Angie & Seth’s Possible Break-Up Means For Will Trent Season 4
Angie Might Become A Single Mother
If Angie and Seth break up in Will Trent season 4, we can just add that to the long list of Angie’s heartbreaks. She has been through so much already, and it would be so satisfying to see her in a relationship that isn’t toxic and can go the distance. Will can’t provide that for her; they have too much history.
Meanwhile, Seth is such a breath of fresh air. He comes with baggage, of course, but he appears to be in a great place, having healed from his past pains. Someone like that is ideal for Angie, who is also on her own road to recovery. So, if Seth were to leave her, Angie might hit rock bottom once again.
The best case scenario is if Foley returns as Seth in Will Trent season 4, and he and Angie continue their story.
