One-time LOST star Cynthia Watros is setting up House as her post-Lost career. The actress has been cast as the first of Wilson’s three ex-wives, and word has it that when Watros joins the show in April, she’ll be on board for several episodes as… his new girlfriend.

Watros becomes the first Wilson romantic interest since the death of Amber a couple years ago, a season finale that sent both House and Wilson spinning all through last season and much of this season.

So get out your plasma mounts and DVRs… House is worth getting Lost in!

Following a couple of flirtations with becoming the titular mother on How I Met Your Mother, actress Sarah Chalke now has her post-SCRUBS career lined up; she’ll star as a freshman congresswoman who is politically successful but unlucky in love in the new ABC comedy FRESHMEN.

The role is not all political backroom deals and Paris vacations; the comedy will place Chalke at odds with the imbalance between her personal and political life. The show is the product of left-wing political blogger Arianna Huffington and former FRIENDS scribe Greg Malins.

Despite that origin, with the appealing Chalke in the lead role, once can only hope the focus of the show is more on the funny and less on the political stances.
