American legal drama hit series has introduced a new love interest for its eccentric, passionate lawyer Louis Litt. Carly Pope's Tara Messer, in the show's last episode seems to have brought about a whole new level of adoration on Louis' part.
In their first meeting, the pair are "seeing eye-to-eye without even realizing that they're seeing eye-to-eye," Pope teased.
"Louis is complaining that if someone wants a job, they should be here half an hour prior — and she shows up right behind him."
Pope also revealed that the new pairing will help Louis be "on his best behavior," particularly around his new love interest.
"A lot of the Louis that we know as an audience is kept at bay with Tara, for better or worse," Pope acknowledges. "She doesn't see the Littisms that everybody else sees."
"Tara draws out in Louis a genuine honesty that maybe we don't see as often as we should," she adds. "They bring out the best in one another."
For Louis' part, Rick Hoffman calls the interplay with Tara "some of my favorite scenes so far this [season]. They've given me a lot of fun stuff again this year, but these scenes with Carly, just because [Louis is] never really into the whole lovey dovey thing, have been really fun."
After his dramatic relationship, and brief engagement, with Sheila Sazs ended last season, has Louis finally met "the one"?
