Boston Legal Fodder

Holy Cast Cuts!

According to ABC, several key members of Boston Legal have been dropped from the show because "their contract options were not picked up." The cast members include a lot of major characters, including Brad (Mark Valley), Denise (Julie Bowen), Clare (Constance Zimmer) and Paul (Rene Auberjonois).

I've heard Mark Valley was shooting a pilot, but all the others are a complete shock to me. Obviouslly, Brad and Denise are probably on their honeymoon/maternity leave, so their absences are easily explained, but Clare has been involved heavily in relationship with Clarence, while Paul is seen practically holding up the place. How these characters' absences will be dealt with is a mystery to me - though I wonder if Paul's will deal with a nervous breakdown!

On the good side, Boston Legal will get an old school legal TV favorite - Night Court's John Larroquette, who will portray a senior partner, most likely Paul's replacement. Let's just how he doesn't get ground up and spit back like Craig Bierko. Also, Tara Summers from "Dirt" will join the cast as a young associate - I just hope she doesn't disapper into the background like Justin Mentell and Ryan Michelle Bathe - such characters really deserved at least an exit from the show.

But probably the best news is that, not surprisingly, Christian Clemenson, aka Jerry "Hands" Espenson, has been added offically to the cast. Given the Emmy winners' number of appearances last season, this seems more of a token change, but none the less a welcome one.

I'll keep you posted on any other details of the fourth season of Boston Legal as they come.
