In the meantime, sate yourself with the following tidbits of TV trivia …
BAILEY RETURNS! Party of Five alum Scott Wolf — he was that liar-thief-drunk Bailey — has joined the cast of WB’s Everwood. He’ll play a California doctor who takes over Dr. Abbott’s old practice. “Dr. Abbott and Dr. Brown have gone into practice together, so Scott comes in as the new doctor across the street,” explains exec producer Mickey Liddell. “He starts stealing clients from Abbott and Brown [because] he’s the new, young doctor in town.” It’s those damn dimples, I tell ya.
LEGAL MANOEUVER: David E. Kelley has added Mark Valley (Keen Eddie) to the cast of his upcoming Practice spin-off Boston Legal. Valley will star opposite fellow legal eagles James Spader and William Shatner.
CHARMING FELLA: Mr. Jessica Simpson, Nick Lachey, joins Charmed: Lachey will guest-star in six episodes of The WB’s drama, which debuts Sunday, September 12. Lachey will play a man hired to ghost-write Phoebe’s (Alyssa Milano) newspaper column when she takes some time off. The two eventually begin a romance.
