Jeffrey Dean Morgan Joins "The Good Wife" as Series Regular

The verdict is in: Alicia will soon be guilty of having her sexual needs met.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is joining "The Good Wife" in the series-regular role of Alex, a calm and experienced hourly investigator whom Julianna Margulies’ Alicia hires (presumably) to work at her new firm, CBS confirms.

Although there’s no official confirmation that Alex and Alicia will mix pleasure with business, it’s a logical leap to take — especially in light of Matthew Goode’s departure as Finn (not to mention Alicia’s continued estrangement from hubby Peter).

“We’ve loved and admired Jeffrey Dean Morgan for years,” said executive producers Robert and Michelle King in a statement. “And we were thrilled to hear that Julianna did too, so it was a no-brainer to ask him to join our troupe.”

Makenzie Vega No Longer a Series Regular on "The Good Wife"
by Michael Ausiello

"The Good Wife" may be lacking a little Grace when it returns this fall. TVLine has confirmed that Makenzie Vega — who plays the onscreen daughter of Julianna Margulies’ Alicia — is no longer a series regular.

The CBS drama is now down three series regulars as it heads into Season 7. In addition to Vega, Archie Panjabi and Matthew Goode also lost their full-time status at the end of Season 6.

However, unlike Panjabi and Goode, Vega will maintain a presence on the show (much the same way her sibling Graham Phillips has in recent seasons). According to an insider, the status change ties into the show’s continuing efforts to work around its cast’s schedules while also sustaining storylines.

To help fill the voids left by Goode and Panjabi, "The Good Wife" has added Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Cush Jumbo (Torchwood) to the Season 7 cast.

"The Good Wife‘s" seventh season bows Sunday, Oct. 4 at 9/8c.

But the Extant star adds jokingly of his other CBS co-star: "Halle's going to get pissed though! She's going to get mad!...It's not a bad issue. I feel like it's an OK issue in my life!"
