‘Power’ Season 6 Spoilers: Series Creator Teases Angela’s Return Following Violent Finale

Fans are still reeling from the last few minutes of the “Power” Season 5 finale, which appeared to tease the death of Ghost’s longtime love, Angela Valdes. In the shocking cliffhanger, Angela appeared to be dying in Ghost’s arms after she saw a gun pointing towards them and moved him out of the way, taking a bullet to the chest.

While many viewers thought they finally saw the end of the federal attorney, series creator Courtney Kemp shut down fans who assumed Angela (Lela Loren) was dead after being shot by Ghost’s (Omari Hardwick) best friend Tommy (Joseph Sikora).

On Tuesday, Kemp shared a photo on Instagram to quiet fans who began arguing about Angela’s fate following the finale. “Angela is not dead #PowerTV #Season6,” the post read.

“Stop the debates. #tunein #season6 #powertv,” she captioned the photo.

Kemp’s post about the controversial character comes after she told Entertainment Weekly Angela was only injured in the finale. “Angela’s not dead. She’s just shot,” she explained.

Although Angela will be around in Season 6, risking her life for Ghost may not be enough to keep them together. Prior to taking a bullet for the love of her life, Angela asked Ghost if he killed Terry Silver (Brandon Victor Dixon) and he denied murdering the attorney.

However, it was revealed that the kingpin actually killed Silver after he saw him making love to Tasha (Naturi Naughton). While the crime may not rock Angela and Ghost’s relationship, it appears the reason why could destroy them.

“Silver didn’t need to be killed for the scheme to work. He didn’t need to be dead. So the actual issue is, the only reason to kill him had to do with Ghost still having feelings for Tasha. In episode 7, Angie asks him, ‘Why are you upset about this? Are you upset because of Tasha, or are you upset because it affects Tariq?’ And he says, ‘Oh, blah, blah, it doesn’t affect me at all,’ Kemp said.

“But when he’s watching Tasha have sex with Silver, he’s not mad because she lied to him about meeting up with the guy. He’s not mad about that. He has a visceral reaction to someone else putting their hands on his wife. And that’s something that he can’t confess to Angela in that moment.”

While fans aren’t thrilled about having to wait to see if Ghost and Angela will be able to move past everything that has happened, they may be happy to know the cast will come back together starting Sept. 17 to begin shooting new episodes.

“Power” Season 6 is expected to premiere in 2019.
