Last night's episode of hit CBS drama "The Good Wife" left fans wondering how Alicia will cope with the death of Will. For spoilers from the actress who plays Alicia, read on.

Julianna Margulies plays Alicia on "The Good Wife" and the actress recently sat down for an interview with TV to discuss Alicia's future. She confirmed her character will have a hard time coping with Will's death.

"Of course there's going to be this hole in her life. But [it's about] how she fills it, and how she starts to question her choices: 'Why am I doing this and why am I representing these a--holes.' I think anything important that happens in someone's life is a game-changer, and it makes you, hopefully, a better person for it," the actress told TV Guide.

Margulies went on to say that it's not all bad news for her character Alicia. Though dealing with Will's death will be difficult, it will make Alicia stronger and more independent.

"I think you'll see this tremendous loss for her, but the choices she makes from then on are incredibly careful and mostly about her," she told TV Guide.
