LOST alum news:

• Geek goddess Sonya Walger (Penny!) is coming back to TV: The LOST and FlashForward star has landed a series regular role in USA’s upcoming Common Law. In the buddy cop drama, Warren Kole and Michael Ealy play homicide detectives whose constant quarreling gets them sent to couples therapy. Their shrink? Walger, who will co-star as Dr. Emma Ryan, a smart, attractive psychiatrist with a keen sense of humor. She graduated at the top of her class and started a practice in Beverly Hills but started to feel like a pill dispenser to her rich clientele. To fill the void, Dr. Ryan started offering low-cost Alcoholics Anonymous and couples’ group therapy at the local community center where she applies her strong insight into the relationship between these two police partners. Common Law starts production from CBS TV Studios in New Orleans next month for a 2012 premiere on USA. (via EW)
