?Body Of Proof? Drops Three Regulars, Will Add Several New Ones
By NELLIE ANDREEVA
UPDATED: In May 2003, ABC gave then-bubble drama series The Practice a
last-minute renewal at a significantly reduced license fee. Shortly
thereafter, the show let go seven of its 11 regular cast members,
including star Dylan McDermott and female leads Lara Flynn Boyle and
Kelli Williams. Nine years later, the last-minute renewal of another
bubble ABC procedural, Body Of Proof too has led to multiple cast
departures. It is not the bloodbath of The Practice proportions as
star Dana Delany is staying put, but three of the show?s seven regular
cast members were not picked up for next season: Nicholas Bishop, who
played Medicolegal Investigator Peter Dunlop, sidekick to Delany?s
medical examiner Megan Hunt last seen clinging to life in the finale?s
cliffhanger, and John Carroll Lynch and Sonja Sohn, who played the
show?s police detectives. News is not that bad for Lynch, who did a
pilot in second position that went to series, new NBC drama Do No
Harm.
With the detectives gone, it appeared that Body Of Proof may focus
squarely on the workings of the medical examiner office. But I have
now learned that the show will be adding new detective characters, so
it seems that Body Of Proof is instead going for a creative revamp. As
for Delany, she will be getting a new sidekick. According to a
released breakdown, the series is casting for a 30something male
ethnic guy who works in the medical examiner?s office and spars with
Hunt.
