Treat Williams
Treat Williams wasn't sold right away when he was offered a guest-starring role on Law & Order: SVU.
"I read the first 10 pages and within the first 10 minutes, I am with two underage girls in a hotel room and I partially expose myself. I called my agent back and said, 'Are you guys sure? Do we want to do this,'" he tells TVGuide.com with a laugh. "My agent said, 'Just read the whole thing and shut up.' So I did and I realized it was one of the most extraordinary parts I've seen in years. It was deeply moving."

Will Mark and Lexie ever get back together on Grey's Anatomy? -- Jeannie
NATALIE: Just because Jackson and Lexie broke up doesn't mean that Lexie will go running back to Mark, particularly since he isn't single at the moment. Yes, Julia will still very much be in the picture when Grey's returns in January, though don't expect Lexie to throw any more softballs at her chest -- not literal softballs anyway.

Treat Williams in Heartland Andrew Eccles/TNT
TNT has taken Treat Williams' Heartland off the donor list after nine episodes. The med drama opened with poor retention of lead-in The Closer's audience, and only waned further when it got bumped to an 8 pm slot. Its audience also skewed a bit old for Madison Avenue's liking. Looking ahead, says Variety, TNT has greenlit production on Leverage, a pilot directed and produced by Dean Devlin (The Librarian) and concerning a team of high-tech thieves who target wealthy crooks, corrupt power brokers and slimy politicos. Ooh, it's as if Robin Hood watched those few episodes of Smith!

Question: Do you know the fate of Heartland on TNT? Although not outstanding, I enjoyed watching it, and this week was the final show. Is that it for Treat Williams and cast?
Answer: My gut tells me the show has flatlined. The writing was probably on the wall from the time TNT bounced it from its post-Closer slot in favor of Saving Grace. But as far as I know, no official word has come down yet ...

TVGuide.com invited Williams to preview what’s ahead for his new surgeon, as well as reflect on Everwood’s unfortunate fate.
TVGuide.com: First off, let’s talk to the Everwood fans out there. What will they find familiar about your new doc, and what will they find different?Treat Williams: Hmm, that’s a good question. Not too much familiar, a lot different. This is the guy that Andy Brown probably was in New York, five years before he came to Everwood — very caught up in a very high-stress environmen

Check your TV's thermostat. If the temperature's rising to alarming new levels, boiling over with riotous politically incorrect humor and scorching the screen with personal drama that's as wrenching as it is raunchy, you must be watching Rescue Me (Wednesdays, 10 pm/ET on FX).
In its fourth season, FX's bravely unsparing tragicomedy about a twisted brotherhood of New York firefighters is more obsessed than ever with outmoded codes of manliness. These flawed, funny antiheroes bust each other's chops at any sign of vulnerability, but the joke is almost always on them.
Not that Tommy Gavin (Denis Leary), the crew's No. 1 jokester, is in a laughing mood. He's under investigation for insurance fraud after last season's climactic beach fire, set by psycho Sheila (Callie Thorne
