• Former Battlestar Galactica toasters Tricia Helfer and Michael Hogan are staying in Sci Fi’s orbit, signing on to guest star on the net’s new paranormal dramedy Warehouse 13 (premiering July 7). Helfer will play a Chicago-based FBI agent, while Hogan has been cast as the father of Warehouse heroine Myka (Joanne Kelly). In a fun little twist, Hogan’s real-life wife, Susan, will play the role of Myka’s mom. And if that’s not enough BSG for you, Mark Sheppard (who portrayed the Fleet’s morally flexible lawyer, Romo Lampkin) will appear as enigmatic figure who represents the organization that controls the Warehouse.
• Everwood‘s Sarah Drew — whose ABC pilot Inside the Box didn’t make the cut for fall — is taking the crazy train over to Fox’s Glee. Sources confirm that the actress has landed the role of Suzy Pepper, an unstable senior who develops an obsessively creepy crush on her teacher. Drew is booked for one episode, but I hear there’s recurring potential.
• Rumer Willis is having a baby! At least she’ll be pretending to have one on The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Bruce and Demi’s actress-offspring will play a pregnant teen in an episode to air in mid-August. Secret Life‘s second season gets underway June 22.
• It sounds like the third season of Greek will be quite the religious experience. The show is casting the roles of a Mary-Elyse, a flirty Catholic girl who tries to recruit Cappie and Dale, and Pastor Dan, a laid-back minister who helps Dale get over his guilt issues. Season 3 kicks off Aug. 31.

Sarah Drew is way too old to play a high school student anymore. Is she trying to pull a Gabrielle Carteris or something?
You scared me for a second! Can you imagin Ashton Kutcher as (step) Grandpa?!! lol

Thank the gods we’ll be seeing Michael Hogan again! Was getting a little worried not to see any projects other the BSG: The Plan.
Rumer Willis is not nearly as attractive as her mother or father. The only reason she can get any part is because of family connections. It’s a shame that she is hired when there are thousands of starving actors who would be better.

What on Earth does how Rumor Willis looks have to do with anything? You’re saying because she may not be attractive by YOUR standards that she couldn’t possibly get a roll as a pregnant teenager unless her parents were attractive stars? WOW……SHALLOW MUCH???!!!!
YEA!!! I love Michael and Tricia
Susan Hogan is not only Mike’s wife, she played Captain Franks, a recurring role as a ship commander in Battlestar Galactica. That gives you one more connection to BSG. Now if only Mary McDonnell and Edward James Olmos sign on, Warehouse 13 could become cast reincarnation of BSG! lol
Another pregnant teen on Secret Life? Go figure. The show was alright, but honestly I don’t see it going much elsewhere now that she’s popped her bun out of the oven.
cregis: I agree with you. She’s like one of those Conan O’Brien, “If they mated…” pictures.
Hi! The bigger news for me is that Joe Flanigan from Stargate, Atlantis is going to be guest starring on Warehouse too!
Woot!
What kind of name is Rumer?

Warehouse 13 was sounding pretty good until you mentioned Mark Sheppard. Cannot stand that guy.
Isn’t Sarah Drew starting to look too old to play high school seniors? Most of her recent work has been adult characters which seems like a better fit to me.
It’s a shame Tricia Helfer can’t find better work. She is far too talented to be guesting on SyFy.
Joe Flanigan, Tricia Helfer… It sounds like SyFy is trying to prop their new show with guest stars from their popular (and cancelled) series. On the other hand, so did Sanctuary. Could go either way. I will definitely check it out.
