Hey All,
The news isn’t too voluminous for once, making this update one of the shortest in a long time; but there is still some good news to share.
TELEVISION

John Glover will be back to reprise his role of Lionel Luthor for multiple episodes of Smallville’s final season. This will be interesting considering the last time he was seen in the show his son Lex pushed him out a window to his death. Glover is booked for at least two episodes, both of which are expected to air in November. He joins a growing list of Smallville alums rejoining the show in its final season, including John Schneider (Pa Kent), Laura Vandervoort (Supergirl), James Marsters (Brainiac), and Michael Shanks (Hawkman).

Diane Farr (Numb3rs and Rescue Me) will guest in an October episode of Grey’s Anatomy as a patient with Huntington’s disease. (Michael Ausiello at Entertainment Weekly)
TV SPECULATION
Longtime followers on Twitter will remember that I [that would be the Televisionary talking] pushed Josh Holloway for the role of Jim Rockford in NBC’s resurrected The Rockford Files back in the spring when I read the pilot script. Michael Ausiello is now pushing Holloway as well and reports that the former Lost star has been “mentioned in connection to the project, but [an unnamed] insider stresses that there are no serious talks going on at this time.” So it’s not like an offer has gone out to Holloway or anything but the project is still alive and kicking, even after an abysmal pilot that starred Dermot Mulroney in the role that James Garner made famous.
