'Leverage' season finale exclusive first look: Elisabetta Canalis returns as The Italian

Leverage fans, you are without a doubt a very patient bunch. You’ve been without new episodes since September, and that’s not a hiatus to be taken lightly. Luckily, your virtue will be rewarded with three new episodes starting Dec. 12 (as if the date wasn’t already circled in your calendars with hearts and tiny fists drawn around it). I could leave you stewing in your anticipation until then, but I will show you mercy in the form of three sneak peeks at the finale, which will feature the return of the The Italian, played by Elisabetta Canalis (that’s “George Clooney’s girlfriend,” to you and me), and an appearance from ER alum Goran Viscnijc.

In the two-part finale (airing Dec. 19 at 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET), the team will find themselves closer than ever to nabbing ruthless international man of crime Damien Moreau (Visnijc), but as you might have guessed, all doesn’t go as planned. And judging by The Italian’s arm sling, she gets a good (likely well-deserved) ass kicking.

    YES!! I love this show! It never disappoints, always delivers a clever well written caper!

  • George Clooney

    She has the worst tattoo ever!

    • cousin

      Which one? She has quite a few! LOL!

      • George Clooney

        I’m thinking of the tribal band around her upper arm a la Pamela Anderson. A dreadful mark on her gorgeous body!

    • whaa???

      Who CARES if she is even ON THE SHOW???? This is leverage! She’s not even cute, let alone a part of the show..

  • maggie

    as a proud portlander, I’m happy that our beautiful city will be back on TV soon!! even though they’re supposed to be in boston

  • Bigbri

    If you guys like Leverage- You should see the BBC Series Hustle. I watched Hustle first and than caught Leverage. Very similar. I like both though.

    • ks

      YES!! I feel the same

  • Jenn

    Man, December 12th is SOOOO far away!!! This is my favorite show (Christian Kane.. oh YUMMMMY) and I have so missed it. This has been the best season yet and having Goran Viscnijc as Moreau, genius!!!! Can’t wait!

    • Sina

      Isn’t Christian Kane just sexy. With him and Goran Viscnijc on the screen at the same time, my eyes might pop out my head. I also can’t wait to see Parker jealous again. She knows she loves her some Hardison!

    • Melody

      Yes, yes, yes, this show has two wonderfully looking eye candy and I’m so grateful to the casting director for that gift. I’ve been eyeing Christian for years (thank you Angel for the introduction) and honestly he is why I started watching the show. I’m quite grateful it’s a fun ride.

      • Jenn

        I’ve been in love with CK for over 10 years and am so excited for all that’s going on in his career (only 19 more days till his CD is finally released.. so excited I could scream).. He’s just a ball full of yumminess! My dream is to one day be able to see him live.. someday that will become a reality!!! Love the rest of the Leverage gang but CK is near and dear to my heart :)

  • Courtney

    Wait, its coming back for 3 episodes. WTF?!

    • loligirl

      Yeah, that seems completely pointless. I thought we would be getting a whole ‘nother half season. Lame. Patience rewarded with crap, thanks TNT.

    • kate

      TNT and TBS are both terrible about dividing out the episodes. It makes it really easy to lose interest in their shows.

  • kate

    I love leverage, but could do without Elisabetta. The way she talks drives me crazy!!

    • whaa???

      I agree. Hate the hype, “george clooney’s girlfriend” WHO CARES? Her part does not make sense, not a good actress..can do without

  • jade

    Parker and Hardison-FTW

  • cousin

    I bet the cast cannot wait until Elisabrutta is done. Looks like poor Tim is the only one who will talk to her. LOL.

  • DS Turner

    I was an extra for the shooting of the two part finale (eps 316 & 317 I think)

    You are all in for some surprising twists

  • cousin

    Gorgeous body? I think not! Maybe if you’re into cocaine-snorting bowlegged midgets who’ve had plastic surgery on their ass.

    • Bob

      I’m sure you’re far more attractive than her….! Jealous much!

      • cousin

        As a matter of fact, I am more attractive than this thing. More importantly, I’m not an arrogant no-talent skank.

  • Sue1

    Love this show, glad to see some EW love.

  • whaa???

    I love leverage, but the hiatis did not work, lost interest. The hype around “George Clooney’s girlfriend” was too much. She is not even cute, not a good actress, and in turn the role just went to the toilet. This season of Leverage was very disappointing, and I for one am one lost fan.

    • Liz

      Be honest. You never was a fan of this series.

  • Melody

    Hell yeah, bring it on. Although they could with out the Italian chick, she just annoys me.

  • Miss Dragon

    Woo hoo – the hiatus has been too long!
