The Good Wife Exclusive: Fringe's John Noble Books Return Appearance

It looks like Alicia (Julianna Margulies) will be getting a blast from the past this season on The Good Wife — but there's a (creepy) twist!

Fringe alum John Noble, who first appeared on the CBS legal drama last season, will return this year, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

Scoop on The Good Wife and more returning fall shows

Noble played Matthew Ashbaugh, one of Alicia's very rich and eccentric clients who was murdered last season. (Kalinda later solved the crime, natch.) Considering Noble appeared almost solely in flashbacks in his debut episode, only time will tell just how Ashbaugh will return. Noble's episode is set to air sometime in the first half of the season.

Best known for his role as Walter Bishop on Fringe, Noble is just one of several Good Wife guest stars returning to the acclaimed drama for Season 5. Carrie Preston, America Ferrera and Gary Cole will also be coming back.

The new season of The Good Wife premieres on Sunday, Sept. 29 at 9/8c on CBS. Are you excited for Noble's return?
