Will Luke Grimes’ Kayce Dutton Find Love In Season 2 Of Marshals ?
Warning: there are a few spoilers ahead for plot points in both seasons of Marshals .
When Season 1 premiered, we learned that Kayce’s wife, Monica, had died of cancer. Because of that, romance seemed to be the last thing Kayce was looking for in the show’s first season.
As the season progressed, Kayce grew closer to Dolly Weaver (played by Ellyn Jameson ), and it seemed like the show was setting her up as a potential love interest. However, Dolly died in the Season 2 premiere after her father, Tom Weaver, drove their vehicle over a cliff, killing Dolly in the accident.
After so much loss, will Kayce Dutton ever find love again? Luke Grimes thinks he will , once telling Entertainment Weekly , “ Yeah, I think so — obviously slowly and cautiously .”
Many fans have speculated that he’ll find that spark with Andrea. Ash Santos is well-aware of these conversations, and she has hinted at a deepening bond between Kayce and Andrea in Season 2.
