Katie Holmes Returns to TV

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories:

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.

Singer George Michael To Appear on ABC Show

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC

Almost 10 years after his infamous public bathroom arrest, George Michael will once again be appearing on American television sets—but this time, he won’t be the subject of a news report.  The singer is scheduled to appear in ABC’s mid-season drama, Eli Stone.

Stone stars Jonny Lee Miller (a.k.a. Angelina Jolie’s ex-husband #1) as a man who suffers hallucinations and believes he might be a prophet.  (Seeing visions of George Michael singing ‘Faith’ will do that to a guy.)  Although Michael was originally scheduled to be in the pilot only, the producers have since asked him to sing and act in two more episodes.

Interestingly enough, George told the BBC recently that he has been unsuccessful in giving up his marijuana habit.  I wonder what ABC’s parent company (Disney) will think about that news…

Victor Garber to Star in ABC Legal Drama

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Daytime, Prime Time, ABC

Oh, Mr. Victor Garber, is there nothing you can’t do? Man, this guy seems to get deal after deal. Case in point, his latest gig on the ABC legal drama pilot Eli Stone. The show will also star Jonny Lee Miller, an attorney at a top San Francisco law firm. Oh yeah, and Miller’s character discovers that he might be a prophet. Garber is on hand as the senior partner at the firm and father to Eli Stone’s fiancee. Garber is fresh off the cancelled show Justice—also a legal drama. And, of course, who could forget him for his role on the ABC hit Alias? Garber has been nominated for six Emmys, three of which were for his role as Jack Bristow on Alias. And, oh my gosh, have you ever seen him as Daddy Warbucks in the 1999 TV movie Annie? Genius.
