Yet for every entrenched resident who hopes to improve his or her lot - or just return to a sense of pre-Katrina normalcy - others are intent on capitalizing on the city's vulnerability and suffocating its culture.

NEWS ROUNDUP: Jack Wagner & Nancy Lee Grahn Visit CASTLE; Walt Willey Web Series; Kalinda Story Ending; Celtic Woman To B&B; GH Stars On MILLIONAIRE

GENERAL HOSPITAL's Nancy Lee Grahn guests in CASTLE's War of the Roses-Esque Episode
Grahn will play Samantha Voss, a wealthy, recently divorced woman, caught in a hilariously ill-willed War of the Roses struggle with her ex-husband (played by WEEDS star Brendan Ford.)

Jack Wagner to guest in CASTLE too!
In the same January episode in which Grahn appears, titled "Significant Others," the MELROSE PLACE, GENERAL HOSPITAL and BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL alum will play former pro golfer Billy Piper whose career went down in flames amidst a nasty divorce scandal. But unlike the Tiger Woods saga, Piper's ex ended up dead, along with a prominent divorce attorney.

ALL MY CHILDREN alum Walt Willey joins web series THE EVERYDAY LIVES
Producer/director Steve Royall describes as "a half scripted/half improv comedy in the vein of CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM about an aspiring director navigating through the treacherous shark-filled waters of Hollywood while trying to achieve movie-making success!"

THE GOOD WIFE Bosses on Peter's New Opponent and Wrapping Up the Kalinda-Nick Story Line
"You don't give James Bond a girlfriend." That's how THE GOOD WIFE co-creator and co-showrunner Robert King defines what went wrong with the introduction of fan favorite Kalinda's (Archie Panjabi) estranged husband, Nick (Marc Warren). The story line has left fans of the critically acclaimed drama surprisingly split after three seasons of following the seductive and mysterious private investigator's every move. "Some characters you actually don't want to see that much backstory. We're adjusting," he tells TVGuide.com. "No matter where we went, this was not a place where the audience wanted to go."
