ABC confirmed this morning at the summer TCA tour that Katie Holmes will be guest-starring on its quirky hit Eli Stone when it returns this fall. Holmes, who began filming her episode yesterday, plays an attorney and will be in a sizable portion of the episode (the second episode of the season, airing Oct. 21). In a tantalizing note, it was revealed that she will be singing and dancing, but no details are being offered by executive producer Greg Berlanti (who also worked with Holmes when he executive produced Dawson’s Creek).
Speaking of singing, George Michael has expressed interest in returning to the show for appearances. He is on tour right now, but producers are looking at possibly having him in a Christmas-themed episode.
Executive producer Marc Guggenheim said he hopes that “guest star begets guest star” as other notable actors discover the show and notice the names who are already appearing on it. He also hasn’t ruled out having some personalities from fellow ABC hit Dancing With the Stars pop in, and they are talking with the network about it.
