Chyler Leigh Talks Alex’s Wedding Planning on ‘Supergirl’ Season 3

At the end of last season’s Supergirl finale Alex proposed to Maggie and though we don’t see Maggie say yes, we do see her smile. Now Chyler Leigh reveals that fans will see Alex planning her wedding in season three.

Leigh recently told Entertainment Weekly that when the show returns wedding planning is in full swing but Alex isn’t enjoying it as much as one might think.

“When we come back, they’re in the process of planning the wedding,” Leigh says. “It becomes quite an uncomfortable position for Alex, because obviously when you’re planning a wedding, you’re talking about inviting family and one of the most important people to her is her dad, and he’s not going to be there. So, for her it’s bittersweet.”

Alex isn’t the only one with father issues. Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg has said that Maggie’s (Floriana Lima) father will also be a factor.

“Episode 3 is all about Maggie and her dad, played by Carlos Bernard, and it’s some of the most heartbreaking stuff I’ve ever done on anything I’ve ever done,” Kreisberg said.

With Maggie’s situation with her father being described as heartbreaking it sounds like Maggie will be put in a difficult situation and while we don’t know exactly what leads to the end of the “Sanvers” relationship that Kreisberg has teased, Leigh said Alex has her own challenges as well.

“You see them work through quite a few things where you have your worlds colliding, where they’re continually learning new things about each other,” she said. “For the first several episodes, Alex is figuring out more and more who she is, and what she wants.”

Hopefully what Alex wants won’t be too hard for Sanvers fans to handle.

Supergirl returns to The CW on Monday, October 9.
