Smith said in a recent interview that his character is done with Penguin. The mayor ruined whatever they had by killing Isabella and there is no turning back. He also hinted that Nygma's transformation as the Riddler may be happening soon.
"I don't think there's anything he can do. It's much more than Isabella. Ed fell for her so quickly and it really felt like what Kringle represented — this normal life. I think there's a part of him that knows he's good at scheming, and he could be this criminal, but there's an option [that was there]. ... The way that he hated himself for ruining it with Kristen, the second time he finds normalcy and it is taken from him. It was his best friend who betrayed him, and that's tough! It feels like any chance that he has of being normal is over now," Smith said.
"Gotham" season 3 airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on FOX.
