Erika Christensen has provided some insights into whether Scott Foley‘s packed schedule could impact the onscreen relationship between her character, Angie, who is expecting, and Seth on the show Will Trent.

In an exclusive conversation with Us Weekly, Christensen, aged 43, discussed the implications of Foley’s new role in Wonder Project’s upcoming series, It’s Not Like That, on his involvement with Will Trent. She assured fans, “The filming timelines for both projects don’t clash.”

While Christensen was cautious about revealing too much about Angie and Seth’s storyline, she shared some thoughts on their future.

“I’m not entirely sure what I’m allowed to disclose, and honestly, I’m not fully aware of the direction it’s heading,” she confessed to Us. “What I can say is based on what we’ve observed. Angie is experiencing something truly special and different in her life. She has never had a healthy relationship before. It’s what she deserves—something positive—and for now, she has it.”

The show Will Trent left viewers with many unanswered questions regarding the fate of its main characters as it concluded its third season. Which cast members will return? Adapted from the book by Karin Slaughter, Will Trent follows a special agent from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation who was abandoned as an infant and raised in the bustling city of Atlanta.

Based on a book by Karin Slaughter, Will Trent follows a special agent at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation who was abandoned at birth and grew up in Atlanta’s overwhelmed foster care system. Will (Ramón Rodríguez) now relies on his unique perspective while pursuing justice, which leads to the highest clearance rate in the GBI.

Season 4 featured a time jump that showed Angie weeks away from giving birth to her and now-fiancé Seth’s baby.

“The whole pregnancy story line was out of the blue for me. I didn’t see that coming and she didn’t see that coming. She’s just such an independent person and she’s so used to her freedom. Angie is so used to taking everything at face value,” Christensen noted. “To have her soften or find new parts of herself and new willingness to be vulnerable is really interesting to me.”

The actress noted that she still doesn’t “know where it’s all going,” adding, “The time jump was very much a time of growth for her — mentally and emotionally. Because at the end of season 3, she was really struggling with losing her mom [despite] her mother being such a toxic presence in her life. She was such a selfish and awful person to raise a child. Then what’s being fed back to her from Seth comes with no judgment and comes with just fresh eyes on who she is now and not who what she’s been through. So it’s really bringing Angie to a more present outlook.”

Fan-favorite TV couples like 9-1-1’s Buck and Eddie, The Bear’s Sydney and Carmy and Tracker’s Colter and Reenie — or Billie — deserve to finally get together on screen in 2026. Based on Jeffery Deaver‘s novel The Never Game, Tracker has viewers tuning in each week to see their favorite fictional survivalist — a.k.a Colter […]

Christensen continued: “She’s still working full time, but I think she’s becoming a lot more comfortable with exploring these new aspects of herself and not laying down rules about what kind of parent she’s going to be. But it is about knowing what kind of parent she’s not going to be and what kind of wife she’s going to be. It’s new territory.”

As for Angie’s relationship with ex-boyfriend Will after over two decades of ups and downs?

“When Will is truly in danger at the beginning of this season, Angie tells Seth, ‘He’s my family.’ It’s actually so nice that there’s a word for it because the bond there is not a breakable bond. They are family,” Christensen told Us. “They could pretend like they’re not or they could try to not be but they’re family. That doesn’t put anything else onto it. That doesn’t mean that they have a good relationship or a bad relationship or a romantic relationship or not. It just means that this person is a part of me. This person is a part of my life. Ultimately, I think they both know that no matter what happens — if something good happens for the other — they should be happy for them. So I think that’s obvious. We’re going to work on that.”

Will Trent airs on ABC Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET before streaming the next day on Hulu.
