ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: We now have some details about Gold Star.
What more can you tell me about this person?
Rossi is reeling from his near-death experience in the hands of Voit, who keeps popping up via hallucinations.

What will their dynamic look like this season?
Rossi’s experienced that kind of hallucination before, so it’s not out of the ordinary.
And Zach is so good that I didn’t want him just sitting in a cell the whole season.
Their dynamic [will be] similar to the hallucination dynamic, which is very adversary.
You want Rossi to punch him.
That’s just how you feel about it.
Voit doesn’t let Rossi get under his skin and Rossi lets Voit get under his skin.
Well soon meet Felicity Huffmans Dr. Jill Gideon, a new franchise character with a connection to Rossi.
How will she shake things up?
Is she central to the Gold Star mystery?
She’s hesitant because she has a complicated past with Rossi.
So it’s a complicated relationship.
What were the circumstances surrounding his exit?
We tried to make a deal and it didnt happen, and thats all I really know.
The way this seasons worked out, it’s such a fast ball.
He whispers something about how Prentiss knows something detrimental [that] she’s never told the team about.
So why would Voit know this, right?
[Luke] is so angry in that moment, but also, is it true?
So you see him in the very next episode talking to Prentiss about it.
Hes not going to let it stew.
But he’s mad that Voit would have any intel about the team to get under his skin.
What are you most excited for viewers to see this season?
Its just another interesting layer that our heroes get to have this season.
I always attempt to approach it from our heroes perspective.
