Five years after moving on from Joey Potter, Katie Holmes has decided to make a more mature return to TV. On ABC’s Eli Stone, the actress will play a non-profit lawyer who eventually connects with Jonny Lee Miller. The one-episode stint will reunite Holmes with exec producer Greg Berlanti, another Dawson’s Creek vet.

Katie’s small screen role won’t be the only non-film project for her this year. She is currently in rehearsals for her September Broadway debut.

I guess it’s in Holmes’ best interest to keep busy. Otherwise, she’ll sit around wondering why she didn’t participate in The Dark Knight.
