“Hawaii Five-O” EP Peter Lenkov teases that there will be more of Steve McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) and Catherine Rollins’ (Michelle Borth) relationship in the coming episodes of Season 7. This, after fans thought the relationship had its closure in the previous episode. Lenkov also hinted that the mid-season finale will have a cliffhanger which he claims has never been done in the show before.
According to Lenkov’s recent interview with TV Guide, they are not looking at the McGarrett and Rollins romance as totally over but a story the show is telling along the way. Fans either love or hate Catherine and both sides have been very vocal about it. The showrunner added that they see Catherine as being a part of the entire arc of the “Hawaii Five-O” franchise.
Lenkov’s comments seem to run contrary to O’Loughlin’s previous declaration that the two characters’ breakup is for good and finally found its closure in the previous “Hawaii Five-O” episode. The actor also said that McGarrett really likes his present girlfriend whom he described as a great girl. O’Loughlin added that McGarrett will be an idiot to just jump back into a relationship with Catherine.
Meanwhile, ever since the beginning of “Hawaii Five-O”, it has always been known to have major mid-season finales where one of its main characters is always left in impossible situations. It will be the same this year according to Lenkov in his interview but this time with a big cliffhanger.
In episode 10 of “Hawaii Five-O” Season 7, the sister of Danny “Danno” Williams (Scott Caan) will come to Hawaii for a company trip. Lenkov said that Danny and his sister (Missy Peregrym) will be seen in some heavy drama scenes reports Broadway World.
As for the mid-season finale for “Hawaii Five-O” Season 11, Lenkov teased that they are building to a big cliffhanger in episode 11. For the first time in the show’s history, the show will sort of end on a cliffhanger midseason. The showrunner further revealed that Chin Ho Kelly (Daniel Dae Kim) will be mainly involved in the mid-season cliffhanger.
