Many fans of the Karin Slaughter books upon which Will Trent is based have been asking the same question for some time about the adaptation: Where is Sara Linton?
In the novels, the doctor character relates to Will (Ramón Rodríguez) on a very deep level thanks to her own history of trauma and heartache, and the two become a romantic item when things fall apart with Angie (Erika Christensen). Given the fact that Will and Angie haven’t been a romantic couple in two whole seasons at this point, it might seem inevitable that the TV series might finally introduce this top love interest at long last.
When asked whether the show is heading for a Will-Angie rekindling or perhaps to introduce Sara at long last, the showrunners couldn’t commit either way.
Liz Heldens said simply, “Angie and Will are the beating heart of this show… It is nice to have them close again. And, I mean, I have friends who were like, ‘I miss Will and Angie having scenes together. I miss them.’ And it is nice to get them really, really in each other’s orbit and helping each other and pulling each other through like they have been.” And Karine Rosenthal added, “We don’t need to rush to have the two of them be romantically involved anymore because they get to be together in a new way that we haven’t seen before.” Still, “Whether another person comes into the mix and then they have to navigate that again, or if it slowly leads to them trying again at some point, we’ll see.”
One thing that some fans have noted is that the show has diverged from the novel in one key way: Angie, on paper, is a terrible partner to Will in ways that we simply don’t see in the television version of the same. So the question becomes: Do you want to see Sara Linton join the fold in Will Trent Season 5? And why or why not?!
