Bobby Cannavale On the 'Case'

***SPOILER ALERT!!!***


OK, you have been warned. TV Guide's Mike Ausiello is reporting that Third Watch alum Bobby Cannavale is joining CBS's Cold Case in a recurring role. He'll play Eddie Faccardo, Lilly's Rush's (Kathryn Morris) latest love interest on the PTR fave. Look for Cannavale to begin his role when CC kicks off its second batch of episodes beginning March 30th.

And thanks to the good folks at Look Again, PTR has a few details on some of those new episodes set to premiere later this month. Here's a quick rundown of the first few *NEW* episodes (NOTE: As usual, information including episode order is subject to change):

"Andy in C Minor" (scheduled as the 14th episode of the season) - Lilly and the gang reopen the 2006 missing person/murder case of a 16-year old piano player who attended the Philadelphia School of the Deaf. This episode is rumored to be using classical music from the likes of Bach and Chopin instead of the usual pop music fare. Meanwhile, Kat receives some unwanted phone calls.

"The Road" (scheduled as the 15th episode of the season) - Lilly and Scotty match wits with a murder suspect while they escort him back to Philly. He is accused of killing a young woman the night of her engagement party in 2007. Early reports have the interaction between this suspect and Lilly/Scotty as very creepy (reminiscent of season 2's serial killer George Marks), and there is a mention of Lil's shooting in last season's finale. This one has my interest piqued!

"Bad Reputation" (scheduled as the 16th episode of the season) - The gang reopens the 1997 murder of a man just released after spending 12 years in prison. This is also the episode where we're supposed to meet Cannavale's Det. Eddie Faccardo. According to early reports, he's a narcotics cop who likes to bend the rules in order to put the bad guys away. He has a strong sense of justice (like Lil) and he grew up in a tough neighborhood with a bad boy chip on his shoulder.

Again, this is all subject to change. Thanks again to the spoiler queens at Look Again for hunting down and sharing all of this information. The new episodes are set to begin in three weeks! Set your DVRs!

Interesting. So, another love interest for Lil' with a whole "bad boy" angle? Hmmm ... I don't know how I feel about this.

As much as I'm annoyed with how depressed and zombie-like Lilly has become, and how there is such a lack of personal development with her character for ... oh, let's see ... two plus seasons, they keep throwing in love interests that never go anywhere and/or they never have the guy stick around long enough to have it mean anything.

I'll reserve full judgment until I see how it plays out. Maybe it'll be different this time. I feel bad being nitpicky on this since I am the one lamenting the state of Lilly these days - LOL! If this gets her back on track, that'll be be good. :)

Yeah, they don't have the best history when it comes to love interests for Lil or any of the other characters. I'm not sure they know what to do with these sort of story lines. They kinda dropped the Scotty/ADA Thomas romance (which is fine with me) and Vera's adorable story with Toni, and those are only the recent examples.

I'm reserving judgement until I see it, but I have my fingers crossed that they do this one right. As in, it leads to more personal growth for Lilly and gets her out of the funk she has been in for the last 2+ seasons. It's a tall order for one guy, I know. ;0)

I'm also crossing my fingers, but I hoping that there isn't another love triangle this time. Just hope the writers don't add Ray into it which totally be repeating S4.

Maybe Lilly will in fact be happier either way the shooting did give her another chance at life..


Anyways I'm looking forward to that..
