ABC's hit drama "How to Get Away with Murder" is not only a show about murder and court trials, it is also about finding love and comfort. Throughout the first half of its first season, the Shonda Rhimes produced show has featured a lot of flings and romance between each character. There's Viola Davis' Annalise Keating with Billy Brown's Detective Nate Lahey, Tom Verica's Sam with Lila, Aflred Enoch's Wes Gibbins affair with Katie Findlay's Rebecca Sutter and Jack Falahee with numerous guys who holds information he needs.
"How to Get Away with Murder" is currently on a break and will return on January 29. The last episode, titled "Kill Me Kill Me Kill Me," finally revealed that the one who killed Sam is Wes Gibbins who was just trying to protect his girlfriend Rebecca. With more than one month between the show's two episodes, fans have dug up every episode to check minor details that could come back and provide huge impact in the next episodes. One of which are the connections between major and minor characters. While the flings mentioned above have had significance, one partnership seems to be of no purpose.
In one "How To Get Away with Murder" episode, Liza Weil's Bonnie Winterbottom went to a bar to find comfort and hooked up with a patron (Pat Healy). It was just a brief relationship between the two but fans cannot rest the idea that that guy might return in the most shocking fashion.
"How to Get Away with Murder" showrunner Peter Nowalk addressed fans queries regarding Bonnie's sad moment and it seems that fans can finally calm down.
"He only serves a significance in showing how sad Bonnie was that night, and desperate for some sort of connection," executive producer Pete Nowalk said in an interview with the Entertainment Weekly. "She tried to get it from him. In a way, a lot of people can relate to when you just need to feel something. You need to feel alive in some way. You can sometimes do very sad, gross things that you wouldn't normally do in the bright light of day."
So, that "Bar Guy" will not come back. He will not return in any "How to Get Away with Murder" episodes to screw things even more.
