Smash star Megan Hilty reveals Ivy’s fate after the season finale saw her character getting ready to down a bottle of pills. Spoilers ahead!

 “She lives,” Hilty told HollywoodLife.com. “I actually have a meeting with the new show runner [Josh Safran] soon, so I’ll find out exactly what he has planned for me.”

She didn’t reveal any more details about what’s to come for her character in season 2, but Hilty said she’s hoping for happier times for Ivy. She is also determined to bring West Wing and Hairspray star Allison Janney to Smash.

“She can do no wrong, and she can sing and dance,” Hilty said. “She’s also the greatest person on the planet, so to have her on the show would be win-win for everybody. She could be Ivy’s manager, and that’s me being selfish, because then we’d have all of our scenes together.”

What are your hopes for Ivy in season 2? Would you like to see Allison Janney join the cast?
