Jeers to Law & Order: Special Victims Unit for casting another ridiculously glamorous actress as an assistant district attorney: Michaela McManus. Judging from her debut episode as hard-charging D.C. transplant Kim Grayleck, the One Tree Hill hottie may give Elisabeth Rohm a run for her money as the L&O franchise's stiffest ADA ever. And instead of 25-year-old Scarlett Johansson lookalikes like McManus, doesn't the New York City DA's office ever hire anybody who looks like, say, Sara Gilbert (who was great in a guest role as a rape victim who put her son in foster care)? Where do they find these ADAs - at the Wilhelmina School of Law?

Could it be that Lucas called and proposed to Lindsey? Many ruled her out once Michaela McManus got cast on SVU, but One Tree Hill's creator wants you to consider her still in the mix. "Michaela is returning, and for more than one episode," Mark Schwahn told me exclusively during an in-depth preview of the new season. "We'll see Lindsey throughout the year." To those who track spoilers/on-set sightings and profess to know who Lucas wound up calling, Schwahn argues, "If Lucas were to pick Lindsey, who's to say she'd pick him back? And if she does, who's to say it works out? A lot of people have eliminated her as a candidate because they know a lot about show biz, but I'm like, 'Hold on a second....'"Does that mean OTH's mighty love "rectangle" of Lucas, Brooke, Peyton and Linds is destined to continue on? "Not really, and not romantically," says Schwahn. "As you get older and more complex, how you love someone and what they mean to your life, that changes. So I think that romanticall...

It was the news that answered one burning question — "Who will replace Diane Neal?" — but left another in limbo: "Who did One Tree Hill's Lucas call?" Michaela McManus, whose Lindsey apparently is not on her way to a hasty Vegas wedding, started her summer by scoring a hot new job, playing Law & Order; SVU's new ADA. Surveying the drastic change in roles, McManus says, "It will definitely be challenging, but that's what's so thrilling about it. To play a woman who's unafraid to cross boundaries will be very liberating."To prepare for her gig as a legal eagle, McManus will check in with her cousin and brother-in-law, both of whom are lawyers ("They’ve offered whatever advice they can lend!"), as well as glue herself to the TV, "watching past episodes to get better acquainted with the SVU world." As for her OTH world, McManus calls her run "a fulfilling experience I will always treasure." But what of Linds? Just because Lucas didn't ring her, is she simply to vanish...
