Orla Brady guest starring on 'Fringe'
Fringe
  The Bishop family unit is complete!

Irish actress Orla Brady — you may remember her as James Woods’ ex on Shark — has nabbed the pivotal role of Walter’s other half and mother to Peter, sources confirm to me exclusively.

The character — described in the initial casting breakdown as strong, smart, and likable — will debut in early ‘10.

Thoughts? She kind of has a Lena Olin vibe going for her, no?

CBS cancels soap 'As the World Turns'
  And then there were six.

The ailing soap industry took another hit this morning with the announcement that CBS has canceled As the World Turns. The show will end its 54-year run in September.

The move, which comes just three months after CBS bid adieu to Guiding Light, will leave just six soaps on the air. The number could soon shrink to five if ABC axes One Life to Live, as has been rumored.

“We are disappointed and saddened by the news that the show is not being renewed,” said ATW...

Danica McKellar guest stars on 'Big Bang'
The Big Bang Theory
  Former Wonder Years darling Danica McKellar, who played Kevin’s neighbor crush, Winnie Cooper, has grown up to be a gorgeous nerd, with a best-selling line of math books. So what better home for her than showing up on CBS’ nerd-filled Big Bang Theory? Look for Danica on the Jan. 11 episode.

“I play Abby, a grad student at Cal Tech," teases the actress, who turns 35 on Jan. 10. "She's the love interest for one of the characters.”

Who? I'll give you a hint - it's not Penny.

Bones/Lie to Me crossover on horizon?
Bones
  Here’s further proof that brain tumor-afflicted Booth will be on the mend this fall on Bones: The next Fox character who visits him will be a flesh-and-blood human, not an animated talking baby.

Sources confirm that Fox is toying with the idea of staging a crossover next season that would find Booth and Brennan working on a case with Tim Roth’s Lie to Me doc Lightman. The insider cautions that it’s in the very early stages and “may not even happen,” which is e...

Grant Bowler to return to 'Ugly Betty'
Ugly Betty
  I didn’t think he’d stay away for long, and goshdarnit, I was right: Grant Bowler has inked a deal with Ugly Betty to reprise his role as Wilhelmina’s crooked ex, Connor, for multiple episodes, sources confirm to me exclusively.

Last seen at the end of season 3, Connor fled town after Betty discovered that he had embezzled millions from Meade Publications. Willie spent the rest of the season mending her broken heart — a process I’m guessing will spill over i...

Adrianne Palicki returns to 'Supernatural'
Supernatural
  This should take some of the sting out of Adrianne Palicki's impending Friday Night Lights departure: The actress has signed on to reprise her role as Sam's ill-fated ex, Jessica, on Supernatural!

As you know, Jessica was whacked by a demon in the Supernatural pilot. She reappeared at the end of season 2 during Dean's genie-granting alternate reality head-trip, but hasn't been seen or heard from since.

Glee
  And you thought the Glee kids were happy before: R&B supastar Eve has just inked a deal to appear in two episodes of the Fox musical as a no-nonsense girls' choir director from a rival school, sources confirm to me exclusively.

As I previously reported, Glee producers were considering Whitney Houston for the part. But when she turned it down, Eve stepped up. (Who says no to the most buzzed-about series since... um, since I can remember?)

So what do you think? Do you agree that, especia...

Bryan Fuller exits 'Heroes'
Heroes
  Heroes-Bryan-Fuller_l Just as Heroes was gaining some creative momentum comes word of another setback: Bryan Fuller has vacated his post as consulting producer.

The acclaimed Pushing Daisies auteur tells me that he left to focus on developing new projects for NBC, and not (as some have speculated) due to creative differences with series creator Tim Kring.

"I'm crafting two pilots right now and it's a lot of work," admits Fuller, who has an overall deal with NBC. "It was jus...

Stephanie March staying on 'Law and Order:SVU'
Cougar Town
  One down, two to go.

With so much attention focused on the Chris Meloni and Mariska Hargitay talks, I nearly forgot about the up-in-the-air fate of another Law & Order: SVU vet: Stephanie March.

I say nearly because I just did some snooping and learned that the actress has quietly inked a new contract to continue playing ADA Alex Cabot.

How lengthy is her commitment? Read on and find out...

Showtime renews 'Nurse Jackie' for a second season
  Record ratings for Showtime's "Nurse Jackie" premiere last night -- 1.35 million viewers -- has earned the series a second season pickup.
Though the number is the combined total of its two Monday airings, that's still better than the premiere numbers for "Weeds," "Dexter," "Californication" and "The Tudors."

The season premiere of "Weeds" did pretty well too, drawing a combined 1.68 million people in its two airings. That's a 25 p...

Robert Buckley of "Lipstick Jungle" and "Privileged" fame is going to fill it.

Yep, Buckley will play a brash sports agent who becomes close pals with Nathan, advising him on both career and personal matters come next season.
