Three of the best shows on television will be returning soon, but this time they will be down a few cast members. Is it the economy, scheduling conflicts, or creative decisions? I don't know, but it certainly won't be the same without them.
Chuck returns in January, and Anna Wu, played by Julia Ling, will no longer be at the Buy More. This is hugely disappointing to the fans, especially those rooting for her character and Morgan to work out. Chris Fedak, co-creator of the show, gave a glimmer of hope, however, when he mentioned to Ausiello that although she is not in the original order of thirteen episodes this year, six more were picked up and they are still being written, so there's always a chance.
Scrubs has undergone a complete makeover, and will be missing practically the entire cast. Only Drs. Cox (John C. McGinley) and Turk (Donald Faison) will be starring in the new year, which is moving to med school, with only an occasional visit to Sacred Heart, the hospital the show has taken place at up til now. Judy Reyes, who played Carla, only wanted to return full time, and because of the new setting, it was decided not to honor that. She is not currently signed to return at all. The show will even get a new narrator, with Zach Braff being reduced to a handful of appearances. Fear not though, most of the former cast will pop up from time to time, and there are plenty of new faces that will hopefully continue on the very funny tradition.
The most disturbing shakeup has been for Lost. Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond) and Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet) are out, the latter currently starring in V. They are both set to appear a little, along with former cast members Ian Somerhalder (Boone), Rebecca Mader (Charlotte), Dominic Monaghan (Charlie), and the recurring Katey Sagal (Helen), and likely more. But Desmond was arguably the best character on the show, and he already had only limited screen time last season, being off the island but not with the Oceanic Six. Also, he was added later in the show. Very disappointing. The enjoyable Jeremy Davies is also gone, and not yet signed to return at all. The bright spot, however, is who was added. Joining Jack, Sawyer, Kate, Locke, Sun, Jin, Hurley, Ben, Miles, and Sayid this year as full time cast members will be Jeff Fahey (Frank) and Nestor Carbonell (Richard Alpert). Emilie de Ravin will also star, after taking last season off, as will Zuleikha Robinson, who played Ilana last year. This final season is a complete mystery to fans, but it should be nothing if not interesting.
