Viewers who miss Reacher and Roscoe’s romance fromReacherseason 1 must check out an upcomingWilla Fitzgerald series that is only weeks away from release. Many factors contributed toReacherseason 1’s success on Prime Video. While many commended its loyalty to the originalLee ChildJack Reacherbooks, others could not help but appreciate it for its perfect casting choices. Even the show’s action choreography and cast performances received high acclaim, making it one of Prime Video’s most valuable television IPs.
Unfortunately, even though viewers grew attached toReacherseason 1’s cast and characters, the show, like the books, avoided featuring most of them again. Similar to its source material,Reacherseason 2 marked the beginning of a new journey for Jack Reacher, where he encountered new enemies and allies while leaving the old ones behind. Owing to this, Reacher’s romance with Roscoe remained an unfinished story. Although Reacher and Roscoe’s romance may always remain unresolved, viewers who miss the two characters' chemistry must watch Willa Fitzgerald’s new show.
Willa Fitzgerald’s Pulse Gives Her Another Tricky Romance After Leaving Reacher
Pulse Will Likely Repeat Many Aspects Of Her Dynamic With Reacher
Pulseis an upcoming medical drama on Netflix, featuring Willa Fitzgerald as one of its leads, Danielle Simms. As the show’s name suggests, it will follow the ups and downs, highs and lows of doctors and staff members who work hard every day at a Miami trauma center. The show’s primary narrative will also be driven by the complex romance between Willa Fitzgerald’s Danielle and Colin Woodell’s Xander.
Pulse creator Zoe Robyn called (viaTudum) Danny and Xander’s relationship the “heart of the season,” which is exactly what Roscoe and Reacher’s relationship was in the Amazon Prime Video detective series' season 1.
While dealing with the day-to-day pressures of their workplace, the two characters will try to figure out where they stand romantically. AlthoughPulsesounds nothing like Prime Video’sReacherand is also not based on a book series,it seems like Willa Fitzgerald’s role in its narrative will be reminiscent ofReacher’s Roscoe in more ways than one.
InReacherseason 1, theAlan Ritchson characterand Roscoe also got romantically involved with one another but struggled to give their relationship a formal label. Owing to Reacher’s lifestyle choices and the high stakes of his season 1 mission, he and Roscoe never had the opportunity to move their relationship forward.Pulse’s Danielle and Xander will seemingly experience something similar.
Will Willa Fitzgerald’s Roscoe Ever Appear In Reacher Again?
Her Return Seems Unlikely For Now
Prime Video’sReacherhas not shied away from drifting away from its source material and featuring surprising character cameos. For instance, even though Finlay does not show up inLee Child’sBad Luck and Trouble,Reacherseason 2 gave him a brief role.Reacherseason 1, too, featured Neagley in its final arc even though she is not a part ofLee Child’sKilling Floor. Even the show’s third installment treads a similar path by marking Neagley’s return in a relatively small capacity even though she does not appear in Lee Child’sPersuader.
Does Neagley Love Reacher? Why They Never Get Together
Amazon’s Reacher may not explicitly mention whether Reacher and Neagley are in love but some details in the show reveal what they think of each other.
Owing to these deviations from the source material inReacher, Willa Fitzgerald’s return as Roscoe is still within the realm of possibility. However, sinceReacherseems to have a new romantic interest in each new season (as he does in every new Lee Child book), it seems unlikely that she will be seen again in the series.Reacherseason 2 dropped her subtle reference to her characterization, butthe show seems to have moved on significantly farther from the titular character’s romance plot with Roscoe. Since her return seems unlikely, viewers would be better off adjusting their expectations.
