Fans of CBS‘ FBI soon will meet Isobel’s “secret” husband — and just as the Special Agent in Charge is prompted to contemplate her professional future.
The fact that Isobel (played by franchise vet Alana de la Garza) has a husband was revealed in the Feb. 11 episode “Shelter,” where in a private convo with OA (Zeeko Zaki) about keeping work and home life separate, she confided, “I’m married.”
Phillip, whom she’d wed two months ago at the time, “has three daughters, so I now have three daughters,” she added with a bit of amazement.
Filling the role of de la Garza’s on-screen mate, as TVLine first reported, will be Tom Cavanagh, best known to TV fans for his title role in the 2000 NBC sitcom Ed and of course his many roles on The Flash and the extended Arrowverse.
On The Flash alone, Cavanagh played Harrison Wells (of Earth-1), Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash (disguised as Harrison Wells), “Harry” Wells (of Earth-2), “H.R.” Wells (of Earth-19), every member of “the Council of Wells” (and “the Council of Harrisons”), Sherloque Wells (of Earth-221) and Harrison Nash Wells aka Pariah.
The affable actor’s TV credits also include Love Monkey, Eli Stone, Royal Pains, Scrubs, Trust Me and, most recently, guest spots on Blue Bloods and in the Superman & Lois series finale (though not as any Wells).
Viewers will first meet Phillip in the Tuesday, April 8 episode, as seen in the exclusive photos above and below.
In that episode, titled “Lineage,” when a famous rapper and two teen fans are gunned down on his tour bus, the team discovers there may be more to the story than his feud with another rapper. Meanwhile, “Isobel hits a major milestone that has her contemplating her future at the Bureau.”
