'Manifest' Season 1 Review: Speculation is rife whether Matt Long's character Zeke will be a friend or an enemy

After Fiona Clarke left us on a dubious note, it is difficult to guess if the new character will be on the angel's side or be an evil one.

NBC's 'Manifest' has been breaking all records for the channel, and given its stupendous ratings it came as no surprise that the show was extended for three more episodes.

In another feather added to its crown, 'Manifest' will soon welcome 'Helix' star Matt Long to play a mysterious new character. Although none of his character's details, including his first appearance on the show, have been revealed, fans are already speculating that Long's character, Zeke, will be an addition to the Michaela-Jared-Lourdes triangle. 

The only description available about Zeke is that he is "a mysterious new character whose arrival triggers a new relationship triangle and upends the series’ mythology." Certainly, the first guess is attached to Michaela (played by Melissa Roxburgh) who is ironically acting as a third wheel between Jared (played by J.R.Ramirez) and Lourdes (played by Victoria Cartagena).
