Then speculation turned to who Cross was in a relationship with, and further hints by the ABC Spy that the woman was a brunette and a lead on a WB series prompted speculation of women Lauren Graham (Gilmore Girls), Lori Loughlin and Merrin Dungey (Summerland), and even 23-year-old Jessica Pare (Jack and Bobby)--with just as many posters arguing the WB clue was a red herring and it was really Sex and the City's Kristin Davis.
Again I may be a cynic, but this is all for publicity.
