Is
Rescue Me's Tommy Gavin about to suffer yet another personal tragedy? Reliable sources close to
Lost confirm to me exclusively that
Andrea Roth - aka Denis Leary's long-suffering spouse on
Rescue Me - is joining the cast in a recurring role. Details about her character are being kept under wraps, but a recent
Lost casting notice went out for a female character in her mid-thirties described as "a tough, no-nonsense and beautiful" therapist who has a tendancy to be "overly controlling and obsessive." Sounds like a no-brainer to me.
Although I haven't been able to confirm the exact number of
Lost episodes Roth will appear in, I imagine she'll be able to fulfill her commitment and still return to
Rescue Me - that is, if there is a
Rescue Me to return to. FX hasn't officially renewed the show for a fifth season. Assuming that it will be back, production will likely resume in early '08 - which would leave Roth plenty of time to squeeze in a juicy little arc on
Lost.
Thoughts? Is
Rescue Me's potential loss
Lost's gain? I vote "Yes!"
