Well, this doesn't bode well for ol' Major Frank: Army Wives has cast General Hospital alum Seamus Dever - he was Ian Devlin, doctor by day, hit man by night - as a new love interest for Catherine Bell's Denise.

The actor, who's also guested on NCIS and JAG, will appear in at least four episodes of the Lifetime soap's second season (which kicks off June 8) as hot doc Getti at Mercer Hospital. You know the type... funny and flirtatious, with a motorcycle in the parking lot to boot. (No word yet on whether this doc is also a closet hit man.)

So do you think this means Frank's going to die overseas? Or is Getti just a passing fancy, someone whose bedside manner distracts Denise from her injuries after that pesky explosion in the season finale? Weigh in below. -- Additional reporting by Ben Katner
