It seems both Steve McGarrett and Chin Ho are going to have a bit of relationship activity this coming sixth season of Hawaii Five-0. The show has just cast Julie Benz and Sarah Carter in recurring arc storylines.
Carter will recur as Lynn who is a nature enthsiast that stumbles upon some trouble while she is on an adventurous date with Steve McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin).
Fans of the show are likely wondering what happened to Catherine (Michelle Borth) who upon returning to Hawaii after bailing on her love a year prior to fight in Afghanistan, had an awkward, yet warm reunion with McGarrett in the series season 5 finale.
“We play that [Steve/Catherine] uncertainty in the first couple episodes,” showrunner Peter M. Lenkov told TVLine during a Fall Preview Q&A. He then added: “Theres a big change that’s going to happen in their relationship.”
Julie Benz, will be playing the recurring role of Jennifer, a detective from San Francisco who is heading up a task force modeled after Five-0. While visiting to complete her research, Jennifer builds a strong connection with Chin (Daniel Dae Kim).
“She’s on loan from the San Francisco Police Department and she’s going to end up, we think at least, having a relationship with Chin Ho,” showrunner Peter M. Lenkov told TVLine as part of an in-depth Fall Preview Q&A. “Maybe there’s going to be a romance there.”
Hawaii Five-0 Season 6 premieres on Friday, September 25, 2015 at 9/8c PM ET.
