He added: "I would say, check out season five and see if Mandy makes an appearance." Although a return of a former flame would no doubt be juicy, we can't help but worry about what it could mean for Jack and Mel!
Meanwhile, there have been other hints about the future plot revealed, including a potential change for Hope McCrea, who is portrayed by Annette O'Toole in the Netflix series.
Speaking to The List, the actress revealed that she'd like to see the show delve into real-life politics within Hope's career as mayor.

"I would like to see her — and I believe this is going to happen — be more of a mayor, be more involved in her work. We see her walking around, showing up, and she can go anywhere," she began.
"That's what she likes best about being mayor. 'Well, I can go here and I get free coffee because I'm your mayor. I'm your mayor, okay?' I would like to see what she does."
She added: "On a local level, that political scene, especially in our country right now [with] what's going on, we have to start."
