Martin delighted fans with a fun behind-the-scenes snap

Martin recently teased a major departure from the show in the new season. Speaking to Glamour, the actor revealed that Mel's pregnancy will continue to be a main plotline on the programme.

"The baby stuff gets really interesting," he admitted. "Obviously, I'm speaking without having read any of those actual scripts. A lot of stuff gets wrapped up and then there's a whole bunch of new beginnings, new storylines. I can't give too much away. I know someone might move away. Someone might leave. "

Fans will be relieved to know that it's unlikely to be Mel or Jack who leaves the Californian town as Martin teased the couple's growing relationship. "You're going to also see Mel and Jack get really close," he revealed. "Some of the stuff they're going to go through is really going to cement their bond. A lot of season four was stuff pushing them away, like Jack's drinking.

Season four arrived on Netflix in July

"I don't think there was true doubt about the relationship, but there was definitely some questions and bumps that was making their union kind of rocky. Hopefully that big proposal put an end to that."
