Vine Report revealed that "The Vampire Diaries" alum Kendrick Sampson has been confirmed to join the cast in a recurring role. It was speculated that Sampson's character will be substantial in the plot of the upcoming season.

She was last seen in the basement of Annalise Keating's house, and Annalise, played by Emmy-nominated actress Viola Davis, vowed that she had nothing to do with the murder of the student.
When Davis appeared on the show "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on the night of the Season 1 finale, she revealed that they shot an alternate ending where Annalise found Rebecca dead while she was still tied to the chair. This revelation sparked rumors that it may be true that Annalise did not kill Rebecca and it was possible that one of her students and Rebecca's boyfriend, Wes, (Alfred Enoch) killed Rebecca out of his anger with her.
