Who’s the new guy with Angela?
We all know that Angela and Hodgins are hard at work to secure a divorce from Angela’s husband as a result of a hot tropical vacation, but what we don’t know other than the brief descriptions we’ve been given, is who he is. Well, it looks like we won’t have to wait too long to find out. The character, or sorry, Grayson Birimbau - aka Mr. Angela - has been cast.
Sean Blakemore is scheduled to play the lucky guy - or not so lucky depending on how his encounter goes with Anglea after all these years. Hart Hanson said about the casting that “We’re gonna find the best guy in the world for Angela. Whoever we finally cast, Jack has to be completely and utterly cowed when this guy finally walks in.”
The guy seems to have it made - his character is described as “kind and brilliant, and hot and rich to boot,” which gives Hodgins not much up on him. Sounds like they’re pretty well evenly matched… Guess we’ll have to wait and see who Angela chooses.
Funny thing is that Michalea Conlin revealed in an interview recently that they were looking for someone like Djimon Hounsou to fill the shoes of her husband. In walks Sean Blakemore. I can’t speak for acting ability, but I do have to say Blakemore fits the bill for me better.
One of the interesting things to see with this new twist will be not only how Angela/Hodgins deals with the shake up, but how it holds the audience. With many fans still seething over the season finale, will it help or hurt those who are on the fence about whether or not to continue watching? Regardless of the crappy way Zack was written off, the show is still great, so hopefully this will only prove to be another redeeming storyline in an already-mostly-great show.

I was sorry that the Hodgins/Angela storyline was backburnered with the shortened season. I like the idea of bringing in the husband and continuing the storyline… as long as they don’t break up Hodgins/Angela!! They are so sweet together and I need to see Jack do something besides look at bugs. I’ll miss the Jack/Zach dynamic.
