What’s the best live tweet session you’ve seen from a TV show? The Good Wife writers produced a solid one last night. Follow them here. They stated the obvious — “You guys really love your Cary and Kalinda, don’t you?” and “No one can rock a purple shirt quite like Eli Gold….” — but they also gave some nice teases in response to fan questions, including that America Ferrera will be back for one more episode this season, on April 12 (I love seeing what she does to Eli); that Alicia will find out about Peter and Kalinda’s infidelity at some point before the end of the season; that if we want to know if that revelation will renew Alicia’s desire for Will, we should “STAY TUNED!” (all caps combined with “Don’t feel bad for Alicia. She’s stronger than ever… ” means yes, right?); that Will’s girlfriend Tammy returns next week (I still don’t like her); and, of course, that Sarah Silverman will be guest-starring in the season’s penultimate episode. Per CBS, Silverman will play “the smart, funny owner of a sexually-explicit website, devoted to connecting married people who are looking to have affairs. She’s sued by a woman who is convinced that her husband was murdered as a result of using the website, and must turn to Alicia (Julianna Margulies) and the firm for help.”
In addition to breaking the Silverman news, the writers also shared some background info, like two of the show’s scribes are former lawyers, and several of them have worked on law shows before (“No writers from Ally McBeal, but one from Boston Legal. #dennycrane“). They also dished on some personal hopes for the future: Two of their dream guest stars include Nathan Fillion and Jason Segel, and they’d love to introduce the former Mrs. Eli Gold. One of their dream picks: Sigourney Weaver. What do you think? She could definitely have the right amount of bite.

Definitely Sigourney Weaver. She’s both beautiful and talented. Love her.

I think you mean’t Parker Posey, unless there is someone else names Posey Parker I don’t know about!
Sogourney Weaver is too old to play this guy’s wife. I think, he’s much younger than her in life.
Sigourney Weaver = No…she’s like 62, and he’s only 46. Bebe Neuwirth could be great, and she’s closer in age.
It would have to be someone with a commanding presence. Someone who can put Eli in check and control him and make his actions seem cordial.
Go Broadway and go with Bebe Neuwirth. She might be small physically but she can do imposing. In a dream world it would be a SportsNight reunion for Josh Charles and get Felicity Huffman
Nice choice!
best idea ever
that was my choice!
Nice…
Maura Tierney would be a good choice (not to mention ironic casting). She could definitely give Eli a run for his money.
Love the suggestion of Maura Tierney but I am curious…why would that be ironic casting?
because she sort of took over for Juliana when she left “E.R.”
Getting a little worried about the fate of the show. The ratings last night night were a series low. I really wish they would let us know whether its going to be renewed or at least moved to Friday night something, anything to put me out of my misery…
Sigourney, absolutely!
Jennifer Jason Leigh
Yes! Drumming up the chemistry from the old “Anniversary Party” days, lol. Though I’d be happy with Parker Posey, too.
For some reason, I’ve always pictured Minnie Driver.
Oh, no are the ratings low? What a travesty. People will watch trash and let quality shows die. Please please renew The Good Wife.
I wish they were trying to get George Clooney to guest star opposite Juliana Margulies.
I had the same thought last night.
Sandra Bullock
Seriously, Mercedes Ruelh! I can see her going toe-to-toe with Eli, BIG TIME!!!
TV fave Maura Tierney would be perfect for the role, someone else mentioined Lisa Kudrow also a good choice!
Since he seems to be attracted to the America Ferrera character, how about someone like Salma Hayek or another wonderful Latina actress?
Nathan Lane, of course!
Talia Balsam (the ex Mrs Sterling)
