TVLine Readers' Wish List For 2016

scandal-olivia-fitz-break-up

"...Scandal to finally stop focusing on Olivia and Fitz and get back to Gladiating. The first half of the season was boring and not at all what made me love the show in the first place."

agents-of-shield-fitzsimmons

"...S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons to not have something terrible and life-altering happen to one of them right after they take a step forward in their relationship."

crazy-ex-girlfriend-rebecca-josh

"...Rebecca from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend to finally realize Josh isn't that great. (Although I realize she won't, because part of the appeal of this show is how deliciously crazy yet cringe-inducingly relatable they've let Rebecca become.)"

halt-catch-fire-season-3

"...Halt and Catch Fire to get a lot more attention in Season 3, both from the audience and the media, and I also hope the creators and producers of this show won't change their storytelling style. I love that it's a character-driven drama in a way that makes it stand out from the rest of TV nowadays."

elementary-season-4

"...a new Elementary showrunner (preferably a woman). Elementary is such an infuriating waste of potential. [I want] more character narrative and much more Watson and Holmes, in that order, and much less of anything and everything else."

empire-jamal-skye-kiss

"...Empire to address the LGBT storylines that they jacked up. The married lesbian having a threesome with Lucious? Jamal hooking up with a straight woman? I just feel like they've taken from those characters what made them unique and strong to make the mainstream audience like them better, and they've made them Iess relatable to many LGBT [viewers]."

once-upon-a-time-sheriff-graham

"...Sheriff Graham [played by Jamie Dornan] to be in the Underworld on Once Upon a Time. If anyone has unfinished business, it's him."

the-vampire-diaries-bonnie-damon-bamon

"...Bamon on The Vampire Diaries! It's been seven seasons of 'shipping, hoping, wishing and now that Elena's gone, it's their time. I mean, did you see 1994 Bamon?! Iconic stuff."

mr-robot-darlene

"...some backstory on the other members of fsociety on Mr. Robot, maybe even some flashbacks showing how "Mr. Robot" recruited each of them."

ncis-tony-dinozzo

"...NCIS to stop wasting good [potential] and finally move Tony DiNozzo forward. Get him out from Gibbs' shadow and get him a woman who actually cares about and gets him. He's been in Pause mode too long now. Time to move forward and leave the past behind."

castle-season-8

"...Castle to regain its dignity and end strong. I really want to love that show again."

eliza-coupe-the-mindy-project

"...Eliza Coupe [to] gain enough star power from her 2015 guest spots [on The Mindy Project, Quantico and Casual] to demand a new season of Happy Endings on Hulu or Netflix."

chicago-fire-dawson-casey

"...Casey and Dawson to have some fun in 2016 on Chicago Fire. They've had an awful lot of sadness and hard times this year (especially losing their baby) and they deserve a good storyline that allows their flirtatious and ornery sides to come out for a while."

arrow-olicity-wedding

"...Oliver and Felicity to get married on Arrow. We need a lavish ceremony (with plenty of Arrow-style hijinks before the event to keep us on our toes) to celebrate this epic pairing!"

jane-the-virgin-michael-rafael

"...Jane Villanueva to either pick a man or pick no one for a while. Yes, she's technically been single for months in TV time, but we didn't get to see it. She needs to work it out with Michael or Rafael, or just free herself from relationships for now."

hannibal-cancelled

"...Hannibal to continue on in some way, whether that be another
season or a movie. I don't need the new content in 2016, just official word that it will be coming."

jon-stewart-late-show-stephen-colbert

"...Jon Stewart to make regular appearances on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in the new year. I love both of them separately, but I find nothing quite as delightful as seeing these two goofing off together."

rick-cosnett-quantico-the-flash

"...Rick Cosnett to have a role where he survives Season 1, at the very least. After getting killed in The Vampire Diaries and committing suicide in both The Flash and Quantico, let's not make him into the Sean Bean of TV."

the-good-wife-season-7

"...[Season 7] to be the final season of The Good Wife. While the show is still one of my favorites, it's time for the show to end on a high note. Diane and Alicia need to make up, and we need some loose threads addressed."

scorpion-megan-dies

"...Sylvester to find love again after losing his wife on Scorpion. I liked that his character was the first to get married among the geniuses and don't want him to recede into who he was."

pretty-little-liars-final-season

"...Pretty Little Liars to finally come to an end, because the show doesn't make any sense."

the-originals-cami-dies

"...Cami to come back [to The Originals]. She can't be dead, right? The show just wouldn't be the same without our Brave Bartender."

person-of-interest-season-5

"...my Person of Interest back! I want to know when and I want more than a 13-episode final season. This show is too good for this fate."

the-100-clarke-lexa

"...Clarke and Lexa working together to protect both their people in Season 3 of The 100. Lexa has become one of the most interesting parts of the show, and her chemistry and tension with Clarke opens up so many possibilities for the show moving forward."

quantico-bomber

"...the bombing storyline [on Quantico] to get tied up by season's end, and that next season we get to see all of the NATs as full-fledged agents solving crimes together."

klaus-caroline-klaroline

"...Caroline and Klaus [of The Vampire Diaries and The Originals] to reunite and share scenes in the upcoming TV year. It has been way too long since they've last interacted, and we have waited so very, very long to see them again — however long it takes!"

shameless-mickey-noel-fisher

"...Mickey to return to Shameless. His lack of screentime has turned me off from the show."

wildfire-abc-family

"...I wish ABC Family/Freeform would bring Wildfire back. There is so much more that could be done with the show. Perhaps a spinoff or reunion show or movie."

supernatural-castiel

"...Supernatural to kill off Castiel once and for all — and all the other angels and their boring, boardroom, suit-wearing talking head scenes — and get back to just the boys fighting monsters and evil."

the-librarians-jake-cassandra

"...The Librarians to spend some time on Jake Stone and Cassandra Cillian next season. Love those two."
