Exclusive: Kari Matchett Invades ER!

As I first scooped in
Ask Ausiello,
ER has admitted the luminous
Kari Matchett (
Invasion,
24,
Heartland) to play County General's newest attending. Her character, Skye Wexler, is described as tough and outdoorsy and is moonlighting in the ER to raise money for her world travels. And although an interoffice romance would seem inevitable - c'mon,
look at her - a Peacock insider insists there are no immediate plans for Skye to bed any of her fellow docs. (The key word there being
immediate.)
Matchett's first airdate is Nov. 1, roughly one week after
Reiko Aylesworth shows up as the hospital's hot and hip new chaplain.
In related news, I
so wasn't planning to watch
ER this season, but these back-to-back casting coups are going to make it hard to resist. Am I right or am I right?
