Unfortunately, one of those shows isn’t Bombshell — at least for now. In the premiere, Karen (Katharine McPhee) had her former rival fired “to protect the work,” but the new Marilyn seemed to immediately regret her actions. Does that mean it’s possible Ivy could return? “There is a chance,” Hilty teased. “You know nothing is set in stone until they open on Broadway.” – Read more at TV Guide
