Season 3 Scoop: Carina Returns!

What a timely bit of news to hit this week. We just watched “Chuck vs. the Wookie” on Chuck Me Monday, and now Chuck writer/producer Ali Adler announces that, “Carina the super sexy superagent will be making an appearance in Season 3!”

The Chuck writers have been at work on season 3 for a couple of weeks now, but this is the first confirmed piece of news to escape into the Interwebz. So what do you think? Are you looking forward to the return of Carina (Mini Anden) as Sarah’s sometime partner (and keeper of a certain secret involving Casey and Prague)?

  1. I like the idea, especially if there’s anything to the sister inference at the beginning of the Chuck versus the Wookie. I hope they can bring back some of the other things they’ve kind of let drop. One thing I’m thinking of specifically is the “everyone talks” thing that they kept hammering during Chuck versus the Beefcake. As much as they mentioned it during the episode, it seemed like more should have come of it. (sorry, that was a bit off topic but I just watched that episode last night and was reminded of it.)

  2. great news about carina’s return! i’m hoping it will fill in some more of sarah’s backstory, at least answering the question of whether carina is the sister referenced in the beginning of vs. the wookie or just a professional associate. maybe i’m wrong, but given the warm embrace sarah gives her at the end of vs. the wookie, i can’t help but think there’s more there than just a working relationship. i don’t think we’ve seen sarah show that kind of (platonic) affection to anybody else… i just wish we didn’t have to wait till march! 🙁 247 days and counting…

  3. Great! I would love to see Roan return also. Pretty much anyone except Cole Barker.

  4. As one character on the show might put – AWESOME.
    She had great interaction with the team (and Morgan) Having her in an episode (or more) will make for some very funny moments.
    I wonder if Casey has taken the clovers out of rotation.

  5. After watching Chuck vs. the Wookie this Monday, I was really hoping she would come back. Hopefully we can learn more about her past since she knows Sarah and Casey fairly well, so something could be revealed for both of them as well.

  6. It is AWESOME, maybe this could be the love triangle that has been mentioned in on of Josh’s interview!! Can’t wait….

  7. I think it’s great the Carina is coming back maybe we can see more back story for Sarah and made the will tie in Casey to. I would like to see Roan come back too. My opinion on Cole is tha I would mine if he came back. Sarah started to realize that she wanted Chuck even more that before and that see wouldn’t be able to leave him. Though I would have like if Chuck gave her a chance to talk sometimes an let her say how she is feeling. Maybe season 3.

  8. That maybe the love triangle. Carina, Anna,and Morgan.

  9. I really hope she’s not going to come between Chuck and Sarah, it would be more creative to base her storyline around the secret about Casey and Prague. Or possibly have her be involved with The Ring…

  10. Mike B; How about Carina, Morgan and Casey?

    This is great news. She was so good in “Wookie” that the return promises lots more comedy and some great action scenes. I too am hoping for the return of Roan Montgomery. He was TOO cool; What Bond might have become if he ‘aged out’ of the MI6. And while we’re at it, keep Cole and Bryce (Is he really dead?) out of the picture.

  11. Nice to see Carina’s character returning. I also agree Roan Montgomery coming back would be awesome! He was my favorite guest appearance.

  12. Carina coming back is good. Roan Montgomery as a “spy” teacher would work.

    Unlike most, I would have no problem having Cole back. In Vs The Lethal Weapon, Cole was actually mentoring Chuck a little. He was giving him credit, whereas Casey was, as usual casting sarcastic remarks.

    Don’t ever want to see Bryce again, nor Jill.

  13. For my part, between Chuck and Sarah is *right* where I want to see her go. She has plenty of motivation, and it might shock both of them into moving forwards.

    Remember: these are *TV writers*, folks…

  14. I am all for Carina coming back to try and steal Chuck from Sarah, only to discover that something has changed between those two since she last went on missions with them.

  15. Finally they bring Carina back. She was so good in Chuck vs. the Wookie. Now we can get answers as to whether or not she is Sarah’s sister and some for info on Sarah’s past and Casey’s. The love could be Carina, Morgan, Anna or Carina, Casey, Morgan or Carina, Chuck, Sarah. So many options but I’m sure the writers plan for her to be that triangle. 😉
    I sure hope Bryce and Cole dont come back. Jill (I hate her so much) I guess I would be ok for coming back. I dont really mind her because during the episodes she was with Chuck thats where Sarah first truly realized her feelings for Chuck. 🙂
    I think it would be great for Roan to come back. He was badass. Chuck’s dad should also return for a couple of episodes.
    Damn. Why is season 3 so far away? 🙁

  16. I do not mind Cole or Bryce coming back, but I don’t want to see Jill back. With Cole or Bryce, Sarah always kept her distance. Whereas with Jill, Chuck seemed to all but forget Sarah when Jill was around. I say no more Jill.

  17. Jill’s a B*tch. Carina is badass.

  18. I’m going to make a guess that Carina is a part of the “love triangle”…=/

  20. Great!
    Fantastic!
    Carina will surely shake things up between Chuck and Sarah, but in a fun way :+)

  21. Glad to hear Carina is coming back. I, too, would like to see repeat visits from any of the guest stars…except, of course, Cole Barker. I hope never to see him again! I wonder if Lou the Sandwich-maker will ever return?

  22. I’m really excited to see carinas coming back! I also agree that lou should come back, or maybe even lazlo…. I would also like to see nicole richie come back for another episode!

  23. Another article about Carina coming back in S3. This one states it will be for “an” episode. So I guess just one.

  24. im not too sure…
    I mean Carina was there in the “Chuck doesn’t really trust Sarah” days so if hes put in the same situation again…?
    ahh what am i saying Chuck admitted that he is in love with Sarah so maybe they are going to put him in the same trust me over Sarah situation but this time he will be smart and say NOOOO!!!
    aha you never know.

  25. Oh and yeah i am really not going to miss jill,
    and cole and lou are NOT allowed to come back,
    and bryce died…so last time i checked zombies arent real.
    Bescides i remember them saying that he had died for good.
    *few

  27. Bring her on! She might still chase after Chuck, but I doubt he will show any interest- Sarah has his heart. Anyway, Carina is a “Casey” kind of girl – so I think it would be great to have she and Casey “involved” again. Clovers or no clovers.

  28. About darn time we get Carina back. I’ve been dying to konw what heppened to her since this episode. So much intrigue, and they just let her escape. Sorry, but that DEA agent can frisk me any time.

    Loved the banter with Charah and Carimorgan

    The reference to Prague were just classic. Casey needs someone to push him and having Carina back would be perfect.

  29. I’ve seen both seasons (1+2) and I would really HATE to see a awesome series like Chuck to go down the tube…

    Bring season 3 NOW!!!!!

  30. @Ashraven. Agreed 🙂

  31. Chuck vs. The Wookie was deffinitly one of the best episodes of the series. I cant wait to see Carina back so she can say i told you so to Chuck about Sarah wanting him.

  32. I am not into tweeting yet and I was wondering if anybody knows how Chuck ranked in tweets last week on Chuck Mondays?

    Just curious, thanks!

  33. Chuck Me Monday is tomorrow with vs the Sizzling Shrimp. I love the scene where Chuck orders the take out and has it delivered to the car while they are on a stakeout.

  34. OMG!!!!! carina is awesome i cant wait

  35. I love that she is coming back. I hope she is part of a triangle-maybe Carina-Casey-Alex Forrest. She did do well in pushing the relationship forward for Sarah and Chuck, so maybe she’ll push Sarah over the edge. Hurry up Season 3!!!

  36. FulllMetalCasey

    I wonder if Carina is really Sarah’s older sister.
    They seem to have that kind of chemistry.

  37. Wow, I’m very excited. I loved that character and I always wished she’d returned.

  38. With Mini Anden (Carina) on the show we have some tall people. I feel sorry for Morgan. Chuck 6’3″ , Casey 6’4″, Carina 5’10”, Sarah 5’9″.

  39. ya poor morgan he is like the only short one on the show

  40. YES! Carina is my favorite! I love her! I have such a girl crush on Mini Anden!
    I don’t if she’d be Sarah’s sister though. Carina is such a badass! Go Prague!

  41. Anna and Lester are short too.

  42. Little people. LOLZ

  43. Putting all the news from the site together… it would appear that Corina comes in and “wants what Sarah wants” sounds like a sister thing. But Casey wants Corina (he doesn’t pull out the clover briefs for anyone) This would give another dynamic between Casey and Chuck. NOW Chuck is on Casey’s level not only in skill but in getting the babes. Instead of babysitting Chuck now he is competing with him. Of course this would leave Sarah jealous and the odd “girl” out. So there you have the unstable emotional dynamic between the 4 while they are trying to save the world.

  44. I only have one word for this “Sweet”.

  45. DONT BRING BRYCE, COLE OR JILL BACK. THEY ALL HAVE PLAYED THEIR PART. KEEP CHUCK AND SARAH GOING IN THE DIRECTION THEIR GOING. I HOPE THERES MORE ON THE MYSTERY BEHIND CASEY

  46. How about a 2 arc episode. Roan and Carina together. Roan coaches Chuck and Carina together for a mission. Sara gets real jealous and because Chuck has his new abilities, he has to “take the shot!” Chuck could fall apart and Sara puts him back together. The offset between comedy and drama could be fantastic.

  47. Is it season 3 yet?

  48. I bet it’ll be like the situation when Bryce came back in Break Up. It’s to show progression. in Nemesis sarah wasn’t ovr bryce and was thinking of leaving w/ him. Then in break up she was clearly siding with Chuck but still warming up to Bryce. in the finale she told Bryce she wasn’t going with him and was staying with Chuck. Let’s remember that the last thing Carina said was
    Chuck: “Sarah doesn’t want me.”
    Carina: “You’re right. She probably doesn’t even know it herself yet. But, uh… I do.”
    hopefully S&C will be a couple by the time Carina rolls around and then with her essentially being the first person to know Sarah has feelings for Chuck, they’ll be able to be honest with her, assuming they keep it a secret from the government. I’ve wanted Carina to come back since Wookie. that episode really showed a different side to Sarah we don’t get to see often. only for a brief moment w/ anna in Best Friend

  49. I resently watched the episode with Carina and noticed that she speaks perfect swedish (“om jag kastar nycklarna till dig, fÃ¥ngar du dem dÃ¥?”). When american actors try to act swedish it just gets awkward in my opinion. I remember an episode of NCIS when this girl just keeps saying “Jaaaaaaa” in every damn sentence, whats up with that? 😀 So what I was wondering is if she is swedish, I have never seen on tv in sweden and I dont know her name or I would have googled her.
