Characters come and go on shows all the time, and while some manage to return, there are others that never get a call back for various reasons. But when it came to Iris Blake, there were a number of fascinating factors that led to her triumphant return to "9-1-1: Lonestar."
While it may seem like the character's storyline wrapped up nicely, the fact that her sister, Michelle Blake, was no longer part of the show also could have been a solid indicator that Lyndsy Fonseca's time on the show was over. But co-creator Tim Menear had a different opinion on that matter. "And we felt like that Iris story never quite got its full resolution [when Liv Tyler left the show at the end of season 1], so maybe there's more to be played there," Minear said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "And Lyndsy Fonseca is so lovely and so wonderful and so funny and such a great dramatic actress, so it just felt like there was a reservoir of talent there that we could tap. And boy, were we right, she is fabulous."
While she may not be a main player on the show, Fonseca's efforts are appreciated by those behind the camera and presumably those watching "9-1-1: Lone Star" at home. Regarding her character's future in the series, fans will just have to be patient to see what could be in store for Iris Blake down the road.
