The Bold Type: Sam Page Returning for Final Season — But Can Richard and Sutton Repair Their Marriage?
Another one of The Bold Type‘s significant others will be back for the Freeform drama’s fifth and final season. TVLine can exclusively confirm that Sam Page, who plays Sutton’s estranged husband Richard, will reprise his role during the show’s swan song. It is unclear how many installments he will appear in during the abbreviated six-episode final run.
As viewers will recall, Season 4 was a difficult one for Sutton and Richard, whose marriage fell apart after a miscarriage and Sutton’s confession that she doesn’t want children. Richard, however, very much desires to be a father and eventually left his wife as a result of their divide. In the de facto season finale — Season 4 wrapped up early because of the coronavirus production shutdown — Sutton ventured home for comfort after Richard’s departure, but instead found several bottles of booze in her alcoholic mother’s fridge. Then while drunkenly drowning her sorrows, Sutton hooked up with her married ex-boyfriend.
When Richard resurfaces in the final season, he and Sutton are still separated, but they cross paths when he returns to New York City. As for whether the pair can overcome their differences and reconcile, showrunner Wendy Straker Hauser previously told TVLine, “We love Sutton and Richard. They haven’t hit real, huge roadblocks before. I’m hopeful that they’ll get to know themselves better, and we’ll see. I certainly don’t think the door is closed forever.”
Premiering Wednesday, May 26 at 10/9c, the final season finds Jane, Kat and Sutton “on the brink of defining who they really are and how best to leave their mark on the world,” per the official synopsis. “Their futures are bright, and their love and support for each other will never change.” As previously announced, Nikohl Boosheri will also reprise her role as Kat’s ex-girlfriend Adena.
The Bold Type fans, are you relieved that Page is back? And are you rooting for Richard and Sutton to get back together?
Well, they certainly have their work cut out for them with just 6 episodes to clean up all the messes they made last season. But fingers crossed these two get the hard fought for happy ending they deserve. It’s only fair to them, and the fans, since they’ve been one of the series’ sole constants from day one.
I hated what they did to Richard & Sutton last season. Yes, I know they talked about the engagement being fast but it really did feel like a switch got flipped even faster. We didn’t actually get to see them ENJOY being married….
I agree.after she gets therapy she might want a baby x
🤞🏼 Maybe a small time jump will help??!! They definitely deserve to have that ending! They’ve been a constant like one person said on this feed! I love them together!
Agree!!!!
She’s probably pregnant by the married ex. I really want Richard and Sutton together as well as Kat and Adena I also need my Tiny Jane to be happy as well. Love this show.
Richard is too good for her
Sam page is hot
Oh I loved watched this TV series.
I hope Sutton will compromise and Richard and her can be good parents in years to come. Just a cute couple.
And may Adena and Kat will find each other back.
Can’t wait to watch the next episode.
I couldn’t even watch this past season.
so happy to hear Sam Page will be in the final season, I was really scared Richard wouldn’t be in the season at all.
They really need to repair all the damage from last season, I still can believe they had them separate after only 4 episodes after the marriage
Richar and Sutton were THE couple of TBT for me, and I really hope they will find a way to reconcile
I love Sutton and Richard and am waiting eagerly to see their romance in season 5. I wish the new season will be alot more entertaining, romantic and spiced up for all ladies who aspire to be bold and wish to leave their mark everywhere they go. Thank you for making this show as I just cant get enough of it
Love watching.
Sutton richy boy team they have gone tru a lot to be wer they are they can still do it
Richard and Sutton has to get back together if now wasted 5 season please back together
If I don’t see Sutton and Richard getting back together, imma be really disappointed! :(
The writers literally broke my heart by ruining their love story in the previous season.
I really hope Sutton & Richard get back together.
They better or we all will quit watching
I agree with you Linda. Im a huge fan of them 👍
Oh please! If this is the last season, can you make it happy ending for the couple? Everybody loves Richard and Sutton ❤
