Bridget Regan was cast as "Rebecca Lowe, a rare book scholar and, ultimately, a new love interest for Matt Bomer’s Neal." Source. She will be in 9 to 10 episodes. This together with Jeff Eastin hinting at Neal reaching his final stage or goal or his endgame or something like that, don't remember the exact words, makes me think that S5 will be the last. They obviously found Neal The One in her, what with her being in 10 episodes, so...

Honestly? I don't mind. As long as she isn't Sara 2.0, that would suck. Please, no snippy, bitchy Mary Sue. As Sara proved, first impressions are important, don't introduce her to take Neal down a peg like Sara did from the get-go. That's not a good way to make people like someone - see SPN's Bela. Just... don't make me wish you have stuck with Sara, show? That would be adding insult to injury.
