The cop drama concluded rather ambiguously, with desk duty-bound officer John Cooper being shot by the police after he brutally assaulted his neighbor. While the screen faded to black, leaving John’s fate unknown, executive producer Jonathan Lisco told TVLine that viewers should not assume the worst. “John has rebounded from so many challenges over the seasons, so it’s very possible that he could come back in some capacity, and even as a policeman,” Lisco said, adding that if the cop is “guilty of anything, [it’s] not being aware of how much pain he was in, not seeking help.

A fourth season of TNT’s revival would have picked up six months after Christopher’s fatal car explosion, with “flashbacks to things like the funeral and the graveyard” filling in the emotional blanks, executive producer Cynthia Cidre tells TVLine. In addition to revealing the father of Elena’s baby, the premiere would also find John Ross connecting with his long-lost sister, only to discover that she’s “very different from [J.R.’s] other spawns.” Meanwhile, Tracey (played by Melinda Clarke) would stick around as a frequent scene partner for Bobby — and presumably a thorn in Ann’s side.
