Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’s Scott Michael Foster has teased that we should get ready to see a whole new Rebecca in the final season of the show.

Literally. There’s a massive chance that there might be a new Rebecca at some point in the show.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk, Scott – who plays Nathaniel Plimpton III on the show – discussed the confusion and backlash the show received when it was revealed that Rebecca’s ex-love interest Greg was recast for the upcoming episodes.

But he was eager to reassure that it was all part of the plan, and that leading lady herself Rebecca could also be getting a new face for a while.




He told us: ‘I think that they’re going to play around with Greg might not even recognise Rebecca, and the differences she’s made in her life.

‘I don’t know if they’re going to do this, but they’ve toyed with whenever you see her from his perspective, she might look different. I don’t think she’s going to be a different person, but she’ll look different to him.’

Santino Fontana played Rebecca’s damaged love interested Greg for the first two seasons, before the alcoholic disappeared for a new life away from West Covina.

When he returns, he will be played by Pitch Perfect star Skylar Astin, and that will obviously set Rebecca into a spin as she tries to keep her borderline personality disorder on lock.

‘I think the idea is, you know, when someone changes – emotionally and maybe spiritually – they go through a metamorphosis,’ explained Nathaniel.

‘So Greg left to go work on himself right? So when he comes back, he’s unrecognisable to Rebecca and I think in a physical way, sure, but also that’s going to be explained by he’s unrecognisable as a person. Just actions and choices he makes.

‘So Rebecca won’t recognise the choices he makes and so that, in turn, is going to be portrayed by another person. It’s going to be the differences that have happened in Greg.’

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend airs on The CW in the US on Fridays, and Netflix in the UK on Saturdays.
