Fans would undoubtedly like to see if that decision works out for him, considering that the finale also revealed Cole interrupted Alison’s funeral service by stealing and then running away with her ashes.
Joshua Jackson’s exit could provide somewhat of an unsatisfying end to the character of Cole Lockhart, who was going through a lot of things in The Affair’s Season 4 finale.
Cole was just about to end his marriage to reunite with his ex-wife, but, ultimately, decided to reconcile with his current wife following Alison’s death.
The move would appear to hint that moving on won’t be as simple for Cole as some of the others coping with Alison’s passing, but if Jackson isn’t up to return for more episodes, it might just be how the series decides to leave it.
