Katie Holmes Returns To Television On ABC’s “Eli Stone”

Katie Holmes seems to be looking to expanding her acting career. She made her debut on TV, she’s done big Hollywood movies, she will step on a Broadway stage for the first time this fall and now we learn she is also ready to return to television.

ABC’s legal drama “Eli Stone” will have one certain special guest in October: former “Dawson’s Creek” star Katie Holmes, reports the Associated Press.

Katie Holmes’ return to the small screen will reunite her with Greg Berlanti, executive producer on “Dawson’s Creek” and co-creator and executive producer of “Eli Stone.”

Katie Holmes is reportedly scheduled to film the episode in July. It will air on Oct. 21. Not only will she guest star, portraying a non-profit attorney whose life crosses paths with that of Eli Stone, but she will also display her singing and dancing skills.

It will be the second episode of the season.

“Eli Stone” stars Jonny Lee Miller as the title character, a successful attorney whose life is completely changed once he discovers he has a brain aneurysm that is causing him hallucinations.

British singer George Michael was a guest star during the show’s first season and appeared to Eli Stone as an angel. Each episode was titled after one of his songs. Berlanti said it is likely for George Michael to return in the second season, possibly on a December episode.

Other members of the cast are Victor Garber, Natasha Henstridge and Loretta Devine.

As to Katie Holmes’ participation, it was Berlanti’s idea to invite her, as a way of attracting more viewers in this second year of the show. “I went and I begged her and she said, ‘I’d love to,’” Berlanti told a meeting of the Television Critics Association. He called Holmes “an incredible actress and a good friend.”

Katie Holmes is also preparing for her Broadway debut on Sept. 18, in a revival of Arthur Miller’s “All My Sons.” The cast includes John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest and Patrick Wilson. Simon McBurney, artistic director of the British theater company Complicite, will direct the revival. “All My Sons” was last performed on Broadway in 1987.
