Hawaii Five-0: Scoop on the introduction of Danny's mother and Danny related casting scoop on episode 4x12 from TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich

Here's some scoop on Hawaii Five-0 from this week's (Posted on 10/17/13) Matt's Inside Line column.

When will Melanie Griffith arrive on Hawaii Five-0? Anything on the story surrounding her? –Sarah
Filmdom’s erstwhile Working Girl will debut as Danny’s mother in the second half of this season, for at least three episodes. “Danny gets a knock on the door one day and there’s Melanie Griffith with a couple of bags,” showrunner Peter M. Lenkov told me. “She left the husband, who’s acting like a 25-year-old and going through a midlife crisis. She says she just can’t take it anymore, so she moves in with him and it’s a little like The Odd Couple. Youre going to earn a lot about Danny in those episodes.”

Do you have any Hawaii Five-0 spoilers? –Sheila
Will Danny not be playing (with the) doctor much longer?  In Episode 12, the CBS drama will introduce the recurring character of Amber, a comely New York City transplant whom Danny “meets cute” at a gas station… and by episode’s end must rescue from danger.
