The Good Wife Casting Scoop: Lisa Edelstein to Recur!

The Good Wife has announced some outstanding casting news: Lisa Edelstein will appear on multiple episodes of the CBS hit this fall.

Details on her character are unclear, TV Line reports, but the former House star - who shocked fans and producers by announcing her departure from that series in May - will show up early in season three.

Her character will share a past with Will. In a personal sense? A professional manner? Will there be a showdown with Alicia, following the penthouse development on the season two finale?

We cannot wait to find out.

UPDATE: Sources now say Edelstein's will play Will's former law firm partner.
