Subject: I just got an e-mail about DJE starting on the "Close To Home"


I only saw that show once but I liked it. I hope he plays a character that is totally different from Harm, though. Or else, I´ll find myself wondering 'what the heck is Harm doing there?? And where´s Mac???' LOLOL

I´ll post the news bit inside ...

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - David James Elliott is joining the cast of CBS' "Close to Home" as a regular.

On the legal drama, Elliott will play D.A. Conlon, a smart, ambitious and charming big-city prosecutor from Manhattan who joins suburban prosecutors Annabeth Chase (Jennifer Finnigan) and Maureen Scofield (Kimberly Elise). He will make his debut in the show's second-season premiere in the fall.

John Carroll Lynch, who played D.A. Steve Sharpe in Season 1, is leaving the series along with Christian Kane, whose character, Chase's husband Jack, was killed off in the Season 1 finale.

TV law is familiar territory for Elliott, who for 10 yearsplayed pilot-turned-lawyer Lt. Harmon Rabb on the NBC/CBS series "JAG."

[> [> I was reading this again and why would a smart, ambitious and charming big-city prosecutor from Manhattan join suburban prosecutors? I´m sure there will be an interesting background there ... -- Lucia, 09:50:53 06/28/06 Wed

[> [> [> He was ex JAG, had a love affair with another ex-JAG that went badly in London, so he can't stand the thought of the big city and wanted to go to suburbia where there was too much crime so he could stay busy... -- Postrider...by the way, his name will probably be Rab Harmon..., 12:09:51 06/28/06 Wed

[> [> Yippee!!! I've actually watched that show a few times. I saw the ep. where Annabeth's hubby died ... sad because they were finally going to spend time together -- she's kind of a workaholic. Wonder how DJE's character will be incorporated. -- Sunny, 17:32:44 06/28/06 Wed

[> [> [> oh, they killed her husband. How deadful ... -- Lucia ... :::waving to Sunny!:::, 21:37:11 06/28/06 Wed

[> [> [> [> He died in a car accident on his way to picking up their tickets for a second honeymoon. BTW, Jennifer Finnegan (who plays Annabeth) used to play Bridgett on The Bold and the Beautiful years ago and more recently was on a silly (kinda stupid) short-run comedy called Committed. She's also from Canada like DJE. -- Sunny ... waving back to Lucia! Have a happy 4th everyone!!!!!!!!!, 15:34:43 06/29/06 Thu

[> [> hehe, I guess DJE will forever be playing a lawyer! (Degree of Guilt, his guest spot on Medium, JAG and now Close to Home! -- Double E, 15:58:05 06/29/06 Thu


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> And I was just thinking, I never started watching Close to Home because it's move to Friday was what tanked Threshold before I got to see CB's character. Although now I hear, that series will be out on DVD soon with the unseen episodes! -- Double E, 16:00:09 06/29/06 Thu

[> its too predictable they will go the flirty love route for the main leading lady and DJE. Sorry Im too loyal a Harm and Mac fan to watch this. -- Campbell, 00:48:18 06/29/06 Thu

[> [> My cousin said icky because the blonde lead looks like Catherine Gale. So I said icky indeed especially that PDD episode were among my worst Jag episodes. -- Campbell, 01:02:55 06/29/06 Thu

[> [> [> Ewww Campbell.I noticed that too. As much as Im happy for DJE and CB moving on I think I will be forever hanging on to their JAG characters. Im too spoiled by Harm and Mac. -- Shania, 02:58:26 06/29/06 Thu

[> [> I see the possibility of his character having a love life, yes (not having one would be a waste!!LOL). Maybe with the leading lady, maybe with someone else. Either way I don´t see what that has to do with being a 'loyal H&M fan'. H&M will forever live in our VHS, DVDs and FFs, but that´s not who we´re talking about here. We´re talking about DJE,the actor, who happens to have played Harm and who is about to embark on a new journey, which I, for one, hope will successful. -- Lucia ... enjoying the cold weather... ... Morning all!, 08:52:56 06/29/06 Thu

[> Its hard to tell at this time only solely for DJE. Medium was not my show and now this Closer to Home show,did I get the title right? -- Rob, 11:43:21 06/29/06 Thu


[ Edit | View ]
[> [> I didn't like him on Medium because ... I admit it ... he was so "un-Harm" like. And I kept thinking Harm would never do that, be so calous, etc. Stupid I know! However, based on the eps I've seen of Close to Home, I have a feeling DJE's character will be more "Harm-like" because Annabeth always wants what's right and to get at the truth. Unless of course, they make him some cost-cutting boss who only wants to win cases and doesn't care about justice. Then he'll butt heads w/ Annabeth PLENTY!!!!!! -- Sunny, 15:38:30 06/29/06 Thu

[> Wouldn't it be great if they DID have CB on with DJE...oh be still my heart. -- Anne1, 10:26:48 06/30/06 Fri


[ Edit | View ]
[> So I guess that means that DJE is released from ABC for any series promotions??? Interesting that he came back to CBS. I'll give it a shot, I think DJE is a great actor and not bad to look at either which won't hurt, LOL. -- janette (waving to everyone), 10:48:42 06/30/06 Fri


[ Edit | View ]
[> [> His contract ended with ABC so he's probably out of the running for anything more than a minor guest appearance on anything else... shrug... As long as we're seeing him every week.. I don't think I care -- chris k, 20:23:14 06/30/06 Fri
