Syd's Bud Back on Alias
by Daniel R. Coleridge
SPOILERS!
So you've forgotten the past two years of your life. You're also a CIA spy surrounded by shifty foes. You need info! But who you gonna call? For Alias spy Sydney Bristow, the answer is her old buddy Will, who appears in Sunday's episode (9 pm/ET on ABC). And that means fan fave Bradley Cooper is back!
"It's crazy," he says. "More people stop me since I've been off the show. 'What happened? What happened? What's going on? You dead? You coming back?'"
Whatever did happen to Will? Oh, that's right, he was dating Allison — that evil beeyotch who posed as Francie — and she did him wrong. "He's been tortured, he's been stabbed in the aorta by his girlfriend who turned out to be a double... I mean, come on. My man's been through some s---." And yet, Alias fans, he survived...
"He woke up in the bathtub and [there was] the fire and, as he came into consciousness, the CIA had arrived," Cooper explains. "They took him to the hospital and they saved his life." Next, he began a new life in Witness Protection in Wisconsin — where Syd comes after him, looking for answers to combat her amnesia.
As you may recall, Will's love for Syd was unrequited. But look for him to finally get some amorous action. Call it some very friendly comfort between old friends. Oh, by the way, Will — who's learned kickboxing — also has a violent reunion with his fake ex, Allison. Laughs Cooper: "As Evil Francie says at one point, 'I see you've grown a pair.' He definitely has toughened up."
Oh, and we have one last surprise to share. "Will has definitely shaved his head," Cooper says. "It was my idea. I got clippers and clipped my whole head. I told [Alias boss J.J. Abrams] afterwards. The fans'll probably f---ing hate it!" — Additional reporting by Shawna Malcom
