Katie Holmes Returns to Primetime Television

Those Dawson's Creek years are long gone, and Katie Holmes has done quite a bit of growing up since the days of choosing between Pacey and Dawson. After marrying one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, I never thought we'd see Katie back on primetime television, but it's happening this fall on ABC's Eli Stone!

ABC announced that Holmes is set to appear on the October 21 episode (titled "Grace"), playing a non-profit attorney whose mysterious fate leads her to Eli. Her role comes complete with a song-and-dance number, which happens during one of Eli's visions.

Holmes began taping scenes on Tuesday, with hubby Tom Cruise and daughter Suri in tow. The second season of Eli Stone premieres on October 14.
