Lucy Hale has joined NBC's
Bionic Woman as Jaime Sommers' younger sister, replacing
Mae Whitman (who filled the role in the pilot). Hale is best known (by
me) as Robin's kid sis on
How I Met Your Mother. Definitely more of a "family resemblance" now. Also, as rumored and since confirmed in the
Ausiello Report,
the sibling is no longer deaf, and has also gained mad hacking skills.
Also per the
Reporter,
Julie White has been upped to series-regular status on ABC's
Cavemen, where she plays nice Cro-Mag Joel's (Bill English) prospective (and WASPy) mother-in-law, while
Drive's
Kristin Lehman has been cast as a police detective's wife in
Backyards & Bullets, an NBC pilot (formerly known as
The Watch) about a neighborhood-watch program gone extreme.
