"The Good Wife" season 6 cast Juliana Marguiles is torn between being an actor and being a producer at the same time, as she looks forward to 18 more years of the series.

In an interview with TVLine, "The Good Wife" season 6 cast Juliana Marguiles replied in an answer to the question whether the actress and producer roles she play have been at odds with each other.

"There are definitely times that I have to put my producer hat on and let go of being an actor, and there are things that maybe I would complain about but because I'm the producer I don't," she said.

As to how long she expects the show to go on after a successful five-season run, she exclaimed: "Eighteen years. [Laughs] Robert's always said he had seven years of this show in him, and my feeling is, I want to do it as long as the writer feels he has something to write... Alicia is basically in every scene.

"The Good Wife" season 6 cast Juliana Margulies added: "Characters can come and go on the show, but she can't. So as long as they're happy to write for Alicia, I'm happy to play her. My guess is we'll go seven seasons."

Earlier, Carrie Preston has confirmed that she will be back to reprise her role as Elsbeth Tascioni.

Carrie Preston dished out "The Good Wife" season 6 spoilers in a chat with Gold Derby as she said: "They're saying they're going to bring me back for a couple episodes. They're not giving me [a series regular position], but hopefully there are gonna be a couple episodes."

Although she plays a recurring role in HBO's "True Blood," Carrie Preston won the Emmy for guesting in "The Good Wife" and she's again being considered for the Emmy this year for the same show. She is married to actor Michael Emerson, who himself also won an Emmy for "The Practice" and "Lost."
