Matrix star Carrie-Anne Moss has signed on for a multi-episode arc on the spy series' fifth and final season, TV Line reports. The actress will play Gertrude Verbanski, an ex-spy who runs Verbanski Corp, the top competitor of Chuck's new company. She's ruthless, but also has a soft spot for her old rival, Casey (Adam Baldwin).
"I would say that as a fan of Adam Baldwin, I am most excited for the idea of having him in a torrid romance," co-creator Chris Fedak told TVGuide.com this month.
