As The Good Wife enters its final stretch of episodes, the cast and showrunners came together to discuss their favorite memories from the show and to tease its fast-approaching series finale, which airs May 8.

"It felt like a show that had to end," said co-creator Robert King at the Tribeca Film Festival's Good Wife farewell panel Sunday afternoon. "It didn't feel like a show you could keep having crazy things happen to you. At a certain point, you escape the realm of possibility."

The panel, which started after a special screening of Sunday's episode, also included Michelle King, co-creator and co-showrunner, and stars Julianna Margulies, Matt Czuchry and Cush Jumbo.

Here are the five most interesting things we learned during the event:

Josh Charles may or may not be returning for the finale

Late last week, it was reported that Josh Charles — whose character, Will Gardner, was killed off midway through the fifth season — would appear in the series finale. Obviously, the duo didn't give a definitive answer when they were asked if Charles would make an appearance or not.

"I've heard that rumor," said Michelle King. "I have also heard other rumors about the finale. I heard that Peter was going to be starting another affair. I heard that Alicia and Eli kissed. I heard that Alicia and Jason ran off happily together. And, I heard that Michelle Obama guest-starred."

She continued: "I will tell you that one of those is true."

Cush Jumbo was a Good Wife super fan before joining the show

Jumbo, who plays Lucca Quinn, is the show's newest cast member, joining at the beginning of the seventh and final season. But the British actress wasn't a stranger to the series when she booked her part.

She told the audience that she started watching Good Wife after drama school, sometimes when she had a hangover, and became addicted to it. "There is no other show that I have geeked out on other than this show, and then I happen to end up on that show," said Jumbo.

"I even recognized some of the extras," she said, recalling her first day there. "It was just embarrassing."

That's when Margulies chimed in: "She knew every judge."

The storyline that didn't turn out as well as they'd hoped

Though the Season 4 storyline involving Kalinda's husband was a letdown — one the producers have talked about plenty — the storyline the producers said their biggest regret involves the show's much-acclaimed fifth season.

Originally, the Kings planned for Damian Boyle, Jason O'Mara's character, to be a bad guy-turned-good who in light of Will's death would emerge as a source of comfort for Alicia. Instead, that honor went to Diane — because business got in the way.

"Fortunately for Jason O'Mara and unfortunately for us, he got a regular role in a series. So we no longer had him, and we had to wrap that storyline quicker than we hoped. It didn't really come to the conclusion we hoped," explained Michelle.

A scene explaining Alicia and Will's relationship at Georgetown was cut

Will and Alicia's relationship has always been about bad timing. Apparently, that's been the case since the beginning — and viewers were supposed to learn this in Season 7.

"It was a relationship where they were supposed to meet in a restaurant, and she thought she was on time when she was an hour early. He arrived, and it was one where they both felt kind of pissed off, like they had [each] been rejected by the other," said Robert.

This was supposed to be explained in "Iowa," the eleventh episode of the current season. But the line was cut, said Margulies.

Everyone has feelings about the series finale

The Good Wife wrapped production on the finale earlier this week. While they everyone was mum about what happens, the panelists did offer some teases.

"It was hard," said Margulies about reading the script for the first time. "I read it once, and I couldn't talk to anyone about it because I was emotionally confused."

She said that the Kings sent her bottle of red wine to help her through, with a note that said, "Alicia should be drinking while reading this." However, Margulies waited until her fourth read to open the bottle.

Reading the script and shooting the finale was also hard for Jumbo. "It's been very hard and emotional to start disconnecting from every character, because people wrap at different times and you don't get to say goodbye to everyone at the same time. That has been kind of heart-breaking," she said.

However, Jumbo promises that viewers will be satisfied with the finale.

"I think that they have to trust that when you love a show like this, they're not going to let you down. They're not going to just sleep with you and walk away. They're gonna cuddle you for awhile and then they're going to leave," Jumbo said.
