Maddie (JoAnna Garcia Swisher) and Cal (Justin Bruening) have proven they can get through just about anything over the course of Sweet Magnolias. Season 5 gave the a couple a bit of a break from turmoil, and Swisher is looking ahead to what the future could hold for them. (Warning: Spoilers for Sweet Magnolias Season 5 ahead.)
Swisher tells Swooon that she believes the future is “bright” for Maddie and Cal after he accepted the job of general manager for a new independent baseball team coming to Serenity. And while Cal has stepped in as a stepfather to Maddie’s three children, there’s still a possibility that they have a child of their own.
