According to TVLine's Michael Ausiello, Odette Annable has been cast in a potentially recurring guest-star role as a new love interest for Nick. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some details on Annable's role:
Annable will portray Shane, a perky and preppy management school grad who is Nick’s new boss at the bar. Per the casting notice for the role, Shane “unabashedly” starts having a fling with her new charge.
Annable’s casting comes just days after Nick and Jess shared their first kiss.
Annable, whose credits also include Breaking In and Brothers & Sisters (opposite her real-life hubby Dave), will soon kick off a multi-episode arc in Cinemax’s rookie drama Banshee.

My thoughts: This news combined with the news about Steve Howey being cast as a new love interest for Jess (Steve Howey Cast as a Love Interest For Jess) really makes me thinks that there's going to be a lot of drama that Jess and Nick will be dealing with in the aftermath of their kiss, which is sure to be interesting and perhaps frusttrating to watch at times. As much as I'd love to see Jess and Nick get together and just stay together, I definitely understand that the writers can't do that since they are only in the middle of New Girl's second season. Since this is a TV show and not real life where a couple can just get together and not get caught up in an on again/off again relatoionship that is drawn out for five seasons/years, if not longer, the writers have to come up with obstacles like bringing in Steve Howey and Odette Annable to play new love interests for Jess and Nick.
That being said, I liked Odette Annable on Brothers & Sisters, and I thought that she did a decent job in the episodes of House's final season that I've watched, so I'm definitely at least a little excited about this news. I wouldn't say that she's the best actress in the world though, but I like her enough as actress to at least keep an open mind about her playing a new love interest for Nick. Hopefully, I'll like Annable's character more than I liked Olivia Munn's character, Angie, who is definitely my least favorite out of all of Nick's love interests at the moment. I for one really liked Lizzy Caplan's character, Julia, from last season as a love interest for Nick. Part of the reason why liked Lizzy Caplan's character, Julia, so much was simply because I was a big fan of Lizzy's acting in the movie Mean Girls, but I digress. That being said, I'm optimistic that I will like her character as a love interest for Nick, because the description of her character sounds very interesting to me.
