I’ll tell you who we won’t be seeing: Sandy Rivers. (Insert crying here.) But Alexis Denisof, who as you know is married to Alyson Hannigan, hopes to be back next season. “I love that character. He’s such a goofball,” he tells us. “I feel like from what they were saying that maybe you haven’t seen the end of Sandy Rivers.” Thank goodness. And in fact, Denisof sees a bright future for Sandy, however his story should end in next season’s series finale. “I feel like Sandy Rivers could go out and conquer his own network given a chance. He should be reading the news for NBC, don’t you think?,” he adds with a laugh. “But that’s obviously a fantastic show. My favorite actress is on that show, so I’m always happy when I get the chance to do a spot on her show.” All together now: D’awww.
