Keep reading to find out more… TV Line reveals that Taye will return in the upcoming May 20th episode of The CW series, but details are currently unknown about how his character will be included in the story. “There’s no All American without Billy Baker, and there’s no All American universe without Taye Diggs,” showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll previously shared. “He’s always welcome back and was the first person to be like, ‘I will happily come back whenever you want me to.’ If there are organic moments, and when there are moments that it feels right for Billy to return, that is absolutely something that both Taye and the show would love to make happen.

We’re not closing the door on anything or anyone.” Taye‘s upcoming appearance will be in the 99th episode of All American, just one week before the show celebrates its 100th!
