Scoop: 'Gilmore' guy cast as Liam's dad

It’s about time 90210 showrunner Rebecca Sinclair started exploiting her Gilmore Girls connections…

Sinclair, a onetime Gilmore producer, has tapped Scott Paterson to play Liam’s biological father in at least two episodes, sources confirm.

Which Gilmore alum should Sinclair pursue next? My vote: Liza Weil. That girl’s been away from my TV set for too long.

    I can actually see him as Liam’s father . . . How about bringing in Liza Weil to play a sister he never knew he had?

  • Sue

    Awww, Scott Patterson…I miss him on my TV…

    • ShutUpRob

      Sinclair should be spending her (and Patterson’s) energies on helping Amy get the REAL GILMORE FINALE made.
      .
      And, at the very least, do something other than Anorexia 90210.

    Ooohhh, Liza would be great as a long lost sister!

    • castiella

      I’m sorry, but Liza Weil is WAY too good for 90210.

  • Luddite

    This would be very exciting if I watched 90210. I’ll just continue being excited about Lauren Graham on Parenthood.

    • James

      then I suggest you watch the show. 90210 has improved all season.

      • castiella

        It could improve 1000% and still be totally unwatchable.

  • shonna

    great casting! i think the woman who plays liam’s mom is bad casting though.

  • Betty

    I love Scott Paterson! I watch G.G. reruns jsut to see him and Lorelei. Just wish he was going to appear in a better show.

    I’m glad Luke from GG is back on tv! Paris, though, hasn’t been off for long… just on last season of GA and I saw her on something else recently I want to say…. but, I agree.. great actress!

  • nezo

    speaking of this guy, man…scott paterson used to be really really hot eh? I’m sure you groupies already know but he dated Elaine Benes on a episode of Seinfeld.

    One might even say he used to be Sponge-worthy… ;)

  • Zeppo

    This is TERRIBLE news this will take time away from him sitting by the phone constantly waiting for that call for the GG movie ! WHAT IF HE DOESN”T HAVE VOICEMAIL !!!!! I can’t even think about it !

    • Courtney
