We finally have character details about Danielle Savre's role in Found

Found has finally unveiled a look at Danielle Savre’s character who may play a big role in the show!

Found has been hitting new creative highs in its second season. While still trying to find missing people, the team is reeling from Gabi (Shanola Hampton) revealing she had kept Sir (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) prisoner for months to use him for information to other abductors. Each member of the team is having trouble handling that, especially Laci (Gabrielle Walsh), when she realizes Sir abducted her as a “companion” for Gabi. 

The team is doing their best, but complications include how their police detective ally, Mark (Brett Dalton), no longer trusts them and even wants to arrest Gabi for what she did. He was forced to cut Zeke (Arlen Escarpeta) off from his computers, his only connection to the world. 

The midseason finale ended with Gabi heading to her old high school and a showdown with Sir. We don’t know how that’ll end, but TVLine has revealed exclusive details on how Station 19 veteran Danielle Savre will enter the show!

Who will Danielle Savre play in Found season 2?

She’ll debut as Heather Tollin, a mysterious and ambitious attorney somehow interacting with the team. Found showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll talked about the actress and her character.

“We’ve loved having her on the show, and she’s loved playing it. I think [Danielle] pretty much interacts with almost everyone on the show, which has been such a beautiful, fun energy to bring in. And she’s such an incredible talent. I leave it to the audience to decide how they feel about her [character]. But for me, it’s been pure joy.”

It looks good, but how does Heather fit into the show?

Is Heather working for Sir?

The big question is if Heather is Sir’s secret accomplice. Since his escape, Sir has been shown communicating with someone, and the team is suspicious he has a person aiding him. While his half-brother Christian seems a likely choice, a confrontation confirms Christian wants nothing to do with Sir or his crimes. 

The arrival of this new figure is a bit suspicious, and it is possible that Heather is Sir’s secret accomplice. She could be the classic case of a woman falling for a dashing and charming criminal and wanting to help him while deluding herself that they’re in love. That makes it more obvious she’s working to manipulate Gabi and her team. 

There’s also the chance Heather isn’t working for Sir and is hired by Gabi to handle the inevitable criminal charges she’ll face for Sir’s abduction. While she's skating by it for now, Gabi knows the cops won't ignore her kidnapping and interference in the police hunt for Sir and sooner or later they're coming after her. Gabi is also going to have to deal with the media fallout and keep the firm going and Heather can aid with that. Yet there are hints there’s more to this woman’s past than there seems to complicate matters.

Savre is a good choice for the role, thanks to her turn as Station 19’s Maya, showing great grit and depth. That should make her turn on Found a good one and continue to spark this NBC hit.

Found Season 2 returns on Thursday, Jan. 16 at 10/9c on NBC.
