Why The Blacklist's Amir Arison Is 'Absolutely Loving' Season 7 (Even Though He's Mad At Aram)
Amir Arison has been on The Blacklist since the first season, and he still loves the show in Season 7. It has been an eventful one for Arison’s fan-favorite character, Aram Mojtabai. Following the tragic end of his relationship with Samar Navabi, Aram has started seeing someone. A very mysterious someone, who has been pushing Aram to act recklessly.
It turns out that not everyone is a fan of Aram’s actions in Season 7. Amir Arison opened up about Aram’s current storyline, which has him torn personally and loving it professionally. Of Aram’s latest storyline on The Blacklist, Arison told 4 NBC New York:
The relationship that Amir Arison is referring to is Aram and Elodie Radcliffe’s, which has been going on for most of Season 7. She is a relatively new character for The Blacklist, having been introduced early in the season. Aram met Elodie during the Task Force’s chase for a Blacklister, and as was mentioned above, she is married.
Her husband was seriously injured during a game of “thrill-seeking,” which resulted in a deadly scenario for a participant. Despite her husband's injuries, Elodie has continued pushing the envelope, and tried to recruit Aram in playing along. As of The Blacklist’s fall finale, Aram is still in a relationship with her.
Questions have personally abounded about their relationship, which feels a bit out of character for Aram. Regardless of the romance, Amir Arison is still in love with doing The Blacklist. A show that’s longevity is something he is well-aware of. Speaking about his run on the crime drama, Arison said:
Amir Arison has done a tremendous job bringing Aram to life over the years, in my opinion. He should have gotten an Emmy nomination for his performance last season. Aram is one of my favorite characters, and as The Blacklist has progressed, he has gotten to get more and more involved with the story.
After years as the Task Force’s go-to computer whiz, Aram is still that with the bonus of getting to do more in the field. Amir Arison noted the evolution that Aram has gone through between his beginning on The Blacklist up until Season 7. Arison said:

The Blacklist will be back in March, and according to what has been teased, some exciting episodes are coming up! While the drama has been revealed to be heading towards its endgame, I am ready to watch Aram, and his fellow cast of characters continue indefinitely.
