    I've forgotten the character name as i haven't watched for a few years or so, but how come you didn't include the obvious choice... The actor who played the team's boss who got fired from the show for causing trouble? I realize because of that issue it makes it highly unlikely, but if anyone who "should" return it's him. Or did they kill his character off? I can't remember.

      You're thinking of Aaron Hotchner-"Hotch", played by Thomas Gibson. I agree, he should be brought back, at least to visit, like Derek Morgan does. Maybe for David Rossi's wedding?

    Are we still not allowed to speak of Hotch?

      Agree! He should definitely be involved in the final season. As well as his son Jack. We need an update!

    I would love to see all former team members who can make it pop back in, even if only for a brief scene in the final episode or something of that sort. Not only would it be nice to see them again in and of itself, but it'd be cool if they could manage to get a big ol' BAU reunion with people from throughout the series together. Some of these team members never got a chance to meet or work together, and it'd be neat to see them interact and whatnot.

    I'd also like to see Reid's mom return, if for no other reason than so we know what the hell's been happening with her since the events of season 12. It doesn't seem like she's living with Reid anymore, so where is she now? And yes, it would be nice to see a happy story involving the two of them for a change.

    What about Elle? I know she left on bad terms, but she could come back as a vigilante unsub or as a consultant of some form?

    Would definitely love to see Kevin Lynch & Derek Morgan return. And Reid's mom. Will really miss this show.
