Ryan Eggold leaves "The Blacklist"


EDIT:

Ryan Eggold tweeted "I love you" to fans of "The Blacklist" tonight, therefore confirming the death of his longtime character, Tom Keen.

Tom Keen has been effectively killed off in tonight's finale. Totally didn't expect something like this to happen at all. Liz nearly died in the same episode too, but was in a coma for about 10 months before she woke up in a hospital bed with Red by her side.

New episodes return January 2018!

Thoughts?

Maybe his death was staged by Red and the FBI to lure someone out.

I feel like this is just going to be some Reddington trickery.Maybe making Tom appear dead and then shipping him off somewhere to keep the truth about the suite case contents from Lizzie.

Good point horrofan000.

You raise some very good points! As I mentioned to the above poster, this reminded me of when they "killed" Liz only for us to find out that she never really died.

Tom came very close to revealing to Liz what was in the suitcase, only for both of them (Tom and Liz) to get ambushed before Tom could make the revelation.

The biggest concerns I have at this point, however, is the cadaver tag that they put over Tom's toe, along with putting his body in one of those storage containers...all indications that he could possibly be dead at this point, or just barely alive.

I guess we'll have to find out in a few months!

The suite case??

BTW, I wouldn't put it past the writers to resurrect Tom. They've written even more improbable things, like almost every week.

I thought he had his own spin off? I quit watching when Liz came back from the dead.

reply

He had his own spinoff, but it unfortunately never got a following and didn't last long. BUT - it was enjoyable imo. I've long thought that he would move on to bigger and better things. He's a good action hero type and I expect to see more of him. Still, I thought his sudden death was a little too sudden for good story pacing.

reply

As dt123 said, the spinoff was cancelled...after just one season. Scottie Hargrave ended up going to prison too while her husband took over her business.

Ryan Eggold's character Tom, however, has since been killed off from the show entirely and isn't coming back.
