Speaking as he received the Freedom of the City of London at the Guildhall, Lewis commented that the unlikely romance is not "a story that has got legs".
He also added that the volatile couple would make for a very unstable marriage. He said: "They'd be in the divorce courts very quickly."
Lewis also mentioned what can be expected from the upcoming third season, he said fans of the show should expect "ambiguity, death, sex, intrigue - you know, another day on Homeland".
Cannot wait for season 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that the opinions regarding the divisive conclusion to season 2 have begun to pour in, executive producers Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa have already begun discussing where the series may be headed in season 3, and posited some intriguing possibilities as to where the characters who were left standing might be headed come the fall of 2013.
The pair recently took part in a conference call, and according to TVLine, tackled not only inquiries regarding the season 3 storyline, but they also managed to cover some of the lingering questions left unanswered, or made unclear by the finale.
Since it’s likely you have already watched ‘The Choice,’ you know that an enormous explosion ripped through CIA headquarters, claiming the lives of David Estes (David Harewood), Finn Walden (Timothée Chalamet) and his mother Cynthia (Talia Balsam). Additionally, the domestic terrorist attack left Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) presumed dead, but on the run, and Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) seemingly returning to Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin) and the CIA, after aiding in Brody’s escape.
Naturally, with Brody on the run, and his marriage having ended (Brody even gave Mike (Diego Klattenhoff) the green light to take care of his wife and children), the question becomes: How integral will Brody be come season 3, and will the rest of the Brody clan make an appearance? According to Gansa, that’s a question the writers and producers are asking themselves at the moment.
Gansa stated:
“[Those] are all open questions for us right now. We had a much clearer picture of what the first two seasons would be than we do of what the third season would be…. Damian’s involvement and [the actors who fill out Brody's family] is very much up in the air.”
The thought of a season’s storyline not hinging on Nicholas Brody, and his connection to the Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban) terrorist network would undoubtedly take the series into new, possibly even more divisive territory. Some would see this as a positive; a sign the series has played out the Brody/Carrie dynamic as best it could, and is now ready to explore other storylines. Meanwhile, many others seem to feel the show was already on a downward slide when it lost Vice President Walden (Jamey Sheridan), and then Nazir, so less Brody may not necessarily be seen as a good thing for those fans.
Besides, how is Brody going to maintain a low profile with his face likely running in a near-endless loop on cable news channels, while unquestionably popping up in all other forms of global media as well?
Gansa says:
“The investigators are going to believe that Brody was actually in his car when it exploded. Plus, Brody does have a head start of a couple of days, and he is privy to Carrie’s best contacts. He has the benefit of that network.”
Still, there are some who feel it was Brody’s plan to blow up his car all along, using Carrie’s feelings for him as a ticket out of the United States. While Gansa admits people are welcome to believe that as a possible avenue for a future Brody storyline, Gordon is quick to warn that scenario is not really what the writers had in mind.
“If you look back on the season, your brain would start hurting to understand why he did certain things if he was partially responsible for what happened.”
At any rate, in a separate interview with Entertainment Weekly, Gansa stated that the writers are keen on approaching season 3 with less emphasis on another catastrophic terrorist strike that Carrie and Saul will try to prevent. If the inference in what he’s saying is correct, then the series could be looking at a storyline that is smaller and more intimate.
“We know roughly what season 3 is. There’s some big muscular moves that we know will happen but there’s a lot to be filled in still. I think all of us on the writing staff would rather not do an impending attack that Carrie stops for the third year in a row. Having said that, we haven’t found that narrative engine that’s going to take us through the third season so I have to reserve judgment. We’re looking for something that’s smaller, that is sort of a little more John LeCarré.”
When you take into consideration the fact that there is still a mole in the CIA, who, according to Gansa may “have been responsible for moving [Brody's] car to in front of the auditorium,” and the underlying history and possible lack of trust between Saul and the enigmatic Dar Adal (F. Murray Abraham), it doesn’t take much to see a little Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy-like inter-agency battle of wits taking place. As such, the assumption at the end of ‘The Choice’ was that Saul might be in line for a larger decision-making role in the CIA, which would conceivably put him in a position to better weed out said mole, and possibly do more good than his predecessor.
There are still several months between now and when production on season 3 would be scheduled to begin, so much of what Gansa and Gordon have discussed could be subject to change. Hopefully, though, some of the more intriguing aspects they’ve brought up will bear fruit, as they sound like an intriguing way to continue the Homeland story.

Hmmm why do i get the feeling that my hope for an awesome season 3 may not come to pass, i am hoping i am wrong!!
But from what i read above series 3 def has the potential to untie some knots, iron out some unanswered questions.
Raising on the point of Brody's family and what role they would take, i def think that there could be some distance in the family story especially involving Brody's daughter Morgan Saylor did an excellent job portraying Dana.
Hesitant but feeling good with anticipation about S3.
David Marciano will not return as a series regular on Homeland, it has been revealed.
The 53-year-old plays surveillance expert Virgil in the Showtime drama, but will not return as a major player in season three, according to Deadline.
The report claims that he may yet return to the series in a guest starring capacity.
Marciano is currently developing a cable prison drama based on a real criminal enterprise that operates from jail.
He is working on the project with his writing partner Steven Pickman and producer Aaron Kaplan, but it is not being viewed as a starring vehicle for Marciano.
Earlier this year, it was announced that Diego Klattenhoff, who plays Nicholas Brody's long-time Marine friend and eventual love rival Mike Faber, would also not be returning to Homeland as a series regular.
However, it has been confirmed that Damian Lewis will return for the upcoming run as Brody, who was last seen crossing the US border into Canada.
Homeland is set to premiere its third season on Sunday, September 29 at 9pm on Showtime, and will air on Channel 4 in the UK.
.
Homeland has cast William Abadie in its upcoming third season.
The Gossip Girl actor will appear in multiple episodes of the Showtime drama's next run, according to Deadline.
Abadie will play an elusive but charming journalist named Alan Bernard. His past television work includes credits on Blue Bloods, 90210, Gossip Girl and Chuck.
Up in the Air actress Amy Morton, Boardwalk Empire's David Aaron Baker, Law and Order: SVU's Joanna Merlin and Prison Break's Tracy Letts are also among the new cast additions joining Homeland.
Exec producer Alex Gansa recently revealed that the new episodes will initially feature "perhaps not as much" of Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) as in previous seasons.
"He is the most wanted man on the planet," Gansa explained. "By definition, he's going to be hiding somewhere. And if he's hiding, that limits what he can do."
The first teaser trailer for Homeland's third season has been released.
The 30-second clip, titled 'Signals', is the first preview ahead of the show's US return on September 29.

In the teaser, various phone conversations are overheard, featuring the voices of Saul (Mandy Patinkin) and Brody (Damian Lewis).
Show executive Alex Gansa has hinted that viewers may see less of Brody during the upcoming season, after the explosive events of the season two finale made him "the world's most wanted terrorist".
Lead actress Claire Danes recently confessed that she nearly quit acting before winning a role on the drama.
She told Vogue: "It was grim. I was very hurt. Two years of not working was brutal. And a point came where I thought, 'I really like interior design'. Someone suggested, 'Maybe your real success is in your personal life'."
The show has won a host of awards since its premiere in 2011, including an Emmy and two Golden Globes for Danes.

The show's executive producer Alex Gansa recently described season four as a reboot following the departure of Damian Lewis.
Homeland's shift in direction also includes new cast members Corey Stoll, Suraj Sharma, Raza Jaffrey and Michael O'Keefe.
Homeland returns to Showtime on Sunday, October 5 at 9pm ET. Channel 4 airs the show in the UK.
Is anyone here watching Homeland? Last night's episode was a real stunner with such a shock ending that I don't think anyone saw coming. The series is on absolute top form at the moment.
I'm not watching this series. I enjoyed the first one but didn't like the second, so I stopped watching after that.Quote:

If you enjoyed the first series, Dazzle, you'll love this new series. It started a bit slowly in episodes one and two but has picked up and is now on absolute top form. It is much better than series two & three and right back to its best. Claire Daines and Mandy Patinkin are outstanding. As I said above, the latest episode was an absolute stunner and its shock ending was just incredible and so incredibly well done. I can't rate it highly enough...as you can probably see.
That's quite a recommendation! You're making me desperate to see it now lol. :D
Another really great episode this week. This series is by far the best. It's real nail biting stuff. If you get a chance to see it, I'd advise you all to do so....that means you, Dazzle! :)
Best thing on telly, Parkerman - by a country mile!
Heard about the series ,but unfortunately didn't follow it ,read your reviews ,ordered the 1-3 box set via Amazon ,very reasonably priced imo. So many 5 star ratings . Look forward to viewing, seems right up my street. Series 4 available soon on DVD.
I'm working on it... :ninja: :DQuote:

Very rare nowadays to see such sustained quality of acting and storyline imo. Deserved all the accolades it received. I'm hoping channel 4 will repeat series 4 , did they do this with the previous series ? Must avoid the final ep of series 4 on Sunday !
If you liked the first three series, Glen, you'll love the fourth. It is the best so far.
I'm halfway through the fourth series now and thoroughly enjoying it, so thanks for the recommendation Parkerman.
You watched series 1-3 very quickly Glen! You must have been binge watching it! :D
Hands up to that Dazzle, so engrossing and a natural inclination not to require much sleep ...:) Now need to decide whether to pick up series 4 at ep7 on More 4 TV and read the detailed accounts of ep's so far on wiki, or wait until Oct 2015 for the DVD. :hmm:Quote:

Many thanks Parkerman ,agree , lets say arrangements underway for a swift viewing resolution to the problem ..:)Quote:

What a shame. :(Quote:

Hopefully the ride will be entertaining, even if the destination's a bit blah.
I'll be interested to hear what you think of the ending, Dazzle. Also what do you think of it so far?
I've very much enjoyed the series so far. Lots of twists and turns and very few dull moments. I've preferred it withoutQuote:

Well I've finished series 4 now. I'll put my comments in spoiler tags for those who haven't seen it yet (don't peek Glen!! :nono:):

Finished viewing series 4, wow ...:clap: Just read yours Dazzle and Parkerman's hidden spoilers for ep.12. It does look like a lead into series 5. Apparently the relationship of Carrie and her mother to be taken further next time. Hope the writers don't spend too much time on it. Need to see Carrie operational. I think the Haqqani, Adal, Saul and Quinn plot will continue ,can't see the plot left up in the air, hope not...:)
