Jada Pinkett Smith Returns to Gotham

Fish Mooney is coming back to the show for multiple episodes.

At the end of season one of Gotham, it seems as though Fish Mooney, a mobster climbing her way to the top of the criminal underground, met her end after falling into the water, never popping back up. However TVLine reports that Jada Pinkett Smith, who portrayed Mooney, signed on to reprise the role.

No Caption Provided

Showrunner Bruno Heller hinted after Mooney's apparent death that nothing is as it seems. Smith signed on for multiple episodes during the second half of season two, so chances of her appearance being a flashback are pretty slim. Mooney does have some unfinished business on Gotham as there are plenty of people who have wronged her, including Penguin and those in charge of running the experiments on Indian Hills.

There's no news yet on when Fish Mooney will reappear on the show, but the second half of season two of Gotham comes back to Fox on Monday, February 29.

That sucks, she was the worst part of season one. I quit watching it live so I could fast forward past her crap with the DVR.

@feartheliving: The weird thing is, the show didn't actually become watchable until they ditched Fish and the writers just decided to jump into the deep end of the cheese pool. Its still not good, its just an entertaining train wreck. In season one it was just bad and she was the stand out worst part of a bad show.

Haha. I thought she was the only part worth watching, and stopped when she was killed.

This show is gonna be even funnier with her shitty acting self back in it. Oh god, I'm just waiting for her to confront Penguin and he's like, "FISH? How? I killed you!" and she's like, "Oh, daaarliiing, you can't drown a fish"

Didn't like what they did to Jim's character last episode, and I don't like what they're planning to do now. The decision to bring Fish back just emboldens my resolve to ignore this show.

No thanks. I can't watch. I won't reward racism. It works both ways now, Jada.

@dngn4774: Seeing racism where none exists is after all racism. And then on top of that, trying to incite some kind of industry revolt is utterly despicable.

@washingtonputydc: Ok. You don't like her opinions on certain things, but if you boycott her show solely on that opinion please realize that you're no better than her. I'm not watching these episodes because her acting sucks, not because I'm pissed off that she's pissed off about the Oscars. Personal beliefs have nothing to do with acting ability and if you punish someone for thinking differently from you that just makes you a SJW.

@joshmightbe: I couldn't agree more. I swear she dragged out her words just to get more screen time. Like the show, cannot stand her character and find it laughable she moans about the Oscars, surely only someone who can act should have that right.

So Bruce Wayne is a whiny kid that keeps getting saved by everyone, Hugo Strange is now Asian for some reason, and Fish Freakin' Mooney is coming back.

I guess Jerome coming back now too is basically guaranteed.

Le sigh, Gotham.

This!^ I stopped watching because she left. Jada was the best part of the show. The best original character since Harley Quinn. I really feel the black community needed this.

Same. She was the best part of the entire show. She left a void in season 2 that was trying too hard to fill it after she left.
