Wowza, Shannon’s back….

Producers of LOST have confirmed to EW that everyones favorite dead girl will appear before the end of the season.

“We’re really excited about having her back on the show,” says Cuse, “and we have a good story for her.” The producers would not specify how many episodes she would appear in. An original cast member, Grace exited the show in season 2 when her character — the spoiled stepsister of Boone — was killed off, though she did resurface in a season 3 episode.

Martha Kent is back in the Hizz-ouse.

Sources are reporting that Annette O’ Toole has signed on to reprise her role as Clark Kent’s mother in an episode to be aired later on this season.

Rumor has it that the episode will air during May sweeps and there is apparently a few twists and turns included.

I’ve got a feeling that it wont take much longer for Serena to find out who her dad is….considering we already know!

Former Dirty Sexy Money star Billy Baldwin (yup, one of the Baldwins, look at the picture to know which one) has signed on to guest star as the William van der Woodsen, Serena and Eric’s estranged father.

Baldwin will be in a handful of episodes, the first of which is ser to air in April.

Now that didn’t take long, did it?

EW’s Ausiello Files has confirmed that House veteran Jennifer Morrison is returning to the show later on this season. Details of the return are not yet known.

So what do you think? It’s not like Morrison has too much time on her hands, she’s just signed on to a Broadway revival of The Miracle Worker. This maybe gives her and the character a little closure too, it seemed like she was rushed out the door…

The Oscar Nominee is guest starring in an episode to be directed by the shows star, Hugh Laurie.

“He’s a patient who has scenes with Dr. House,” explains executive producer Katie Jacobs. “I’m excited to [watch] the two of them in a room together.”

Strathairn, who scored an Oscar nomination for the role of Edward R. Morrow in Good Night, and Good Luck will be in the shows 17th episode of this season.

According to series co-creator, Josh Schwartz’ twitter, the Quantum Leap and Star Trek star will be back….

The tweet in question read:

Very excited #ScottBakula will be back on #Chuck as Dad. Nicest man on planet. And storyline will be epic!! 36(ish) Hours til premiere!

Here’s possibly the 200th Chuck promo of the season.

Not that i’m complaining. The Chuck season 3 premiere is on Jan 10 @ 9pm/8c (two-hour special) and returns to its regular Monday @ 8pm/ 7c the following day.

According to a rep for Haaz Sleiman, producers felt that “the characters storyline ran its course”.

Sleiman was much loved for his performance as Muhammed “Mo-Mo” De La Cruz and apparently there wasn’t much indication this was coming. His rep also said “We were surprised. It came out of left field”.

Nurse Jackie returns on March 22. Apparently there is no reference to why Mo-Mo is missing in the first two eps of the season…

Eliza Dushku’s real life BF, Rick Fox, has booked himself a cameo on Dollhouse.

The Basketball star-turned-actor will appear as an Active who has been given his personality back and release into the wild in the January 8 episode of the canceled FOX drama.

You may remember Fox as Dante, the shady game fixer in One Tree Hill or as Wilhemina’s (Vanessa Williams) love interest in Ugly Betty. You may, of course, remember him as a Small Forward in the NBA for the Celtics or Lakers…

In a solid move, The Vampire Diaries has recruited L Word and 24 alum Mia Kirshner on a recurring basis.

The actress will make her debut in the Jan. 21 episode in the role of Isobel, the sweet but dangerous wife of Alaric (Matt Davis).

Looking forward to it? I am.
