T10 WHATS UP! October 28 - November 3, 2018 the ferocious dismay of many fans, her story permanently concluded in season 5 when she succumbed to the disease and Malcomson departed the show. The season 5 finale set up an unresolved cliffhanger as Ray, reacting to the loss of his wife, took a plunge off of a 10-story building into New York's East River, leaving fans to specu- late whether it was some sort of dream sequence or a literal turn of events in the narrative. Promotional material for sea- son 6 reveals that Ray did in- deed attempt suicide but was unsuccessful. Previews show Ray being rescued from his act of desperation by the timely in- tervention of an NYPD patrol- man, Sean (Mac) McGrath (Do- menick Lombardozzi, "The Wire"), who pulls Ray from the East River and engages the dev- astated man in an unexpected brawl to keep him from wading back in to his doom. Ray's fateful encounter with Mac and his new association with the sometimes corrupt fraternity of the New York Po- lice Department will be a ma- jor part of season 6, and anoth- er accomplished character ac- tor joins the cast to play a dif- ferent police officer: Tony Curran ("Doctor Who") will portray Sgt. Mikey (Rad) Radulovic and will offer an- other point of entry for Ray as he becomes entangled within the culture and affairs of the NYPD. Susan Sarandon ("Thelma & Louise," 1991) reprises the role of studio exec and media mogul Samantha Winslow, who became a major client of Ray's in season 5 and will con- tinue to provide him with work this year. Winslow of- fers Ray some direction and distraction in the aftermath of his suicide attempt by retain- ing his services to extricate mayoral candidate Anita No- vak, portrayed by series new- comer Lola Glaudini ("The Sopranos"), from a compro- mising sequence of events that involve harassment, as- sault and a dead body in need of disposal and coverup. As Ray injects himself into the machinations of the NYC underbelly, family members from L.A. begin to trickle into the city, and the inevitable re- turn of Mickey (who was sent to prison through Ray's plot- ting during season 5) will spark some midseason fireworks as the seasoned crook looks to wreak vengeance once again upon his estranged scions. The combination of the fresh New York setting, the absence of a major character in Abby, and the unresolved pain of the characters she left behind means season 6 of "Ray Dono- van" represents a serious shakeup. Ray will have to make his way in a new town without the benefit of his dependable Los Angeles resources and con- nections, and the alliances he begins to form in NYC may turn out to have competing in- terests. Watch "Ray Donovan" conquer the Big Apple on Sun- day, Oct. 28, on Showtime.
