Exclusive: 'Weeds' high on Linda Hamilton

Tags: , , News, Scoop

linda-hamilton_weedsImage Credit: George Napolitano/FilmMagic.com; Inset: ShowtimeThis should go a long way in terminating the negative buzz surrounding Elizabeth Perkins’ Weeds exit: Linda Hamilton is joining the Showtime comedy for a multi-episode arc in season 6, sources confirm to me exclusively.

The original Sarah Connor will play Linda, an eco-conscious marijuana grower who, along with her life partner Fiona, helps Nancy’s endeavors in Seattle take bloom.

Weeds‘ sixth season, which premieres August 16, finds Nancy and Co. on the run after Shane whacked Pilar with a croquet mallet.

Also joining the cast for several episodes is Prison Break alum Peter Stormare. His character is described as a hot-tempered German chef who is anything but charmed by his new ambitious dishwasher, Andy (Justin Kirk).

    I’m going to be very disappointed if Pilar is still alive. I won’t miss Elizabeth Perkins though. I always hated her character.

    Perkins was the only saving grace last season. I’m not gonna watch this season.

  • I’ll be watching just to see if it can improve. The loss of Celia is a big blow, but Linda Hamilton’s a good actress and I think the change of scenery could do wonders.

      I disagree. Celia has done nothing in season 4 & 5. Complete waste of EP’s time. I will miss EP but not shed a tear for Celia or any of the other Hodes.

  • justin

    Linda works for me. I’ll miss Perkins (loved to hate her), but Hamilton is a good replacement to me.

    Entertainment Weekly, have you ever heard of a SPOILER WARNING? How the F were we supposed to know about Elizabeth Perkins leaving or Nancy being in Seattle BEFORE the season even started? DAMN! I’m kind of ticked that these details were spoiled, but I am LOVING the idea of Linda Hamilton on the show. I’ve loved her since the orignal Terminator! Sweet!
