Quantum Leap Star Caitlin Bassett Says Addison's Season 2 Storyline Is 'Best We've Done'

Quantum Leap is leaping back into action after its midseason break on Tuesday, Jan. 30, and it's bringing with it plenty of new developments. Ben's (Raymond Lee) leaps through time could be coming to an end thanks to a new discovery from Tom (Peter Gadiot), which is something Caitlin Bassett, who plays Addison, told PopCulture.com is "another giant chess piece" on the table when it comes to the future of the show.
"Just as we were starting to settle into something, boom, it changes again," Bassett said ahead of Tuesday's midseason premiere, teasing that viewers will get to watch as "all the characters are dealing with their respective part of that and what that means for them." The way the writers have handled this new twist is "brilliant," Bassett hinted, adding that "nobody's walking out of this without a giant change and everybody has to figure that out."
Having just wrapped filming for Season 2, Bassett teased "the ride of a lifetime" for the remaining five episodes - and an exciting setup for a possible Season 3 down the line. "The back half of the season is my favorite thing that we've ever done," she said. "You start seeing Addison make really proactive decisions. She's no longer in reaction mode. It's fun, it's empowered, it's emotional. ... It's the best we've done. And the finale, you're going to see how exciting the future of this show could be."
Quantum Leap returns from the midseason break on Tuesday, Jan. 30 at 10 p.m. ET on NBC.

I agree with her, having seen the final episode and scene, it was an unexpected shocker! Hoping for Season 3 to see what happens in this new direction.
