Nikita‘s been on fire! Scoop, please? — Kate
Well, I do have news. But Mikita fans (Michael + Nikita) might not like it. Shane West (Michael) tells me: “You’re going to see Michael and Nikita grow apart, but you’re also going to see them grow back together in ways I can’t explain.” Oh, you’ll explain, Shane. You will explain, or I won’t plug the Twitter account you just created (@shanewest_1). “Nikita and Michael are always connected,” he says. “Regardless if they’re on speaking terms or not, they will continue to run into each other. You’re going to see them work again together. You’re going to see Michael be a lot more harsh and insensitive to Nikita, but you’re also going to see reality come back in that they still do care for each other. And they’re going to have to do one last crazy missions with some people who I don’t want to tease. And you’re going to see a lot of flashbacks potentially from when Michael and Nikita were together.”
That’s better.

Got any Nikita scoop on Michael and Alex? — Emily
Erm. Again, nothing you want to hear. West essentially thinks that the pairing is très creepy. And you can’t blame him. “If you think about it, beyond the fact that Michael and Alex might look cute together, it really cheapens Michael as a human being. Does it mean he did that with a bunch of other girls? Does he hit on all the young girl recruits who remind him of Nikita?” he says, laughing. “Inherently, Michael is looking at Alex like a father figure.” Especially, he says, when it comes to Alex’s new neighbor Nathan (who I spoke with last week). “He’s not going to be jealous of the neighbor Nathan. It’s more that he’s going to be wary, and worried that Alex might go off the reservation so to speak as Nikita tried to do,” he says.
