Dylan Baker will be returning as Colin Sweeney in a 2015 episode and Laura Benanti will be returning as Sweeney's third wife Renata. Reports say that Colin will be returning to hire Florrick – or someone else – to sue a television show. On the other hand, Renata will be agreeing to testify against Colin in court.
"Colin Sweeney wants the firm to sue a TV show for defamation after the show steals his character, and makes it look like he killed his first wife. Laura Benanti also returns as his estranged third wife, Renata, who decides to testify against him in court," says co-creator Robert King.
In the meantime, the next episode of the series might be seeing the turning of tables against Alicia as Michael J. Fox will be returning to reprise his role as Louis Canning. The official synopsis of episode 8 reads: "Alicia is going to take on a college rape case, which pits her against Louis Canning when it moves from a university to a civil court."
