‘All Rise’ star Wilson Bethel talks Lola’s “surprise” pregnancy.
Co-star Wilson Bethel (who plays Deputy District Attorney Mark Callan) opened up to Entertainment Tonight about Lola’s surprising pregnancy news on All Rise.
“It was a surprise to me,” he told the outlet. “And as soon as we got the first script, of course, I get to the last page and the first thing I did was text Simone. I think that’s a great development for the character and the show. I think it’ll offer a bunch of really new, interesting situations for Lola to be a mom.”
The Season 2 premiere saw a rift between the two characters following different opinions on racial injustices. Though their relationship has remained platonic, many fans were hoping the two development romantic feelings for one another. So, is this the end of their friendship?

“It’s a relationship between a Black woman and a white man who had very different experiences in the world, partly because of who they are,” Wilson told ET. “My inclination is to say, ‘Look, we should explore that. We should explore how who they are sometimes means that they run up against their own blind spots and they hurt each other.’ To me, that feels very real to a relationship like this.”
The Hart of Dixie actor added, “Because I don’t think it’s going to be too much of a spoiler alert to say, yeah, they’re going to figure it out, but it’s not without going through it a bit first.”
All Rise airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on CBS.
