"Without A Trace": New Season Buzz
The latest new season buzz on Without A Trace comes via a fan’s question to Mickey O’Connor of TV Guide:
I read that Steven Weber is joining Without a Trace. Does that mean Anthony LaPaglia is gone? — Janice
Mickey: Weber has only signed on for four episodes, so he’s definitely not replacing LaPaglia. Rather, their characters will be adversaries. Once he’s done ruining Jack’s life, look for Weber to resurface on Brothers & Sisters, where he spent time last season ruining Sarah’s life. (Note to self: Do not invite Steven Weber over for dinner.)
So based on this news, fans can rest easy. After all, I think the team and the show would just not be the same if LaPaglia decided to pull a “Gideon” (al la Mandy Patinkin’s departure from Criminal Minds).
The adversarial relationship between these two should prove quite interesting, especially in light of Agent Malone’s troubles over the years. From the guilt he’s felt on and off over his mother’s suicide, to his bout with depression, and later the divorce from his wife, Jack has been through a good bit of adversity. I suspect that he will be more than strong enough to withstand Weber’s character parrys.
