Oooh, tubers. I'm hearing some rumblings most delicious that--hold on to your couch cushions--Lena Olin may be returning to Alias.
There's much to discuss in this week's column, but I simply had to post this most holy and divine news, as fans have been praying all season long for the return of Spy Mommy. I'll have more details in Monday's chat (6 p.m. PT/3 p.m. ET), but for now I can tell you that according to an inside a d v e r t i s e m e n t
source, Lena is close to signing a deal to reprise her role as Sydney's mother, Irina, for at least one episode this season.
It's all part of a big reveal involving that whole crazy Sloane affair, which could include another player.
This is from Kristin's chat transcripts on Eonline from Monday 3/29:
From reddygirl: We got you, 'sister.' So, it's true? I had heard that that was happening on Alias.
It sounds like someone may have beaten me to the punch, but (Now this is slightly spoilerish, but also casting info, so read at your own risk), according to two inside sources, Mía Maestro, a drop-dead gorgeous Argentinian actress (and the spitting image of Lena Olin--it's eerie) has been cast as Nadia, Sydney's sister. I'll give more details on her storyline in the spoiler section. So, keep reading! From what I understand, Mía is in three episodes this season and will likely be a regular next season. Melissa George is stepping down to recurring.
-Okay, so what this means from reading other things she's written also, is that Sydney is not in-fact Sloane's daughter, but that this new character is Sloane and Irina's. And she is on the Covenant's side. This is going to be a crazy last part of the season. Not to mention that Lena might be back! Yeah!!!!
