Army Wives: Scoop on Kellie Martin and Ryan Michelle Bathe futures with the show and episode 7x03 from TVLine's Michael Ausiello

Here's some scoop on Army Wives from this week's (Posted on 11/20/12) Ask Ausiello column.

Question: Thanks for all the Army Wives scoop last week. Do you happen to know if Kellie Martin and Ryan Michelle Bathe are returning in Season 6? —Anna 
Ausiello: They are. Exec producer Jeff Melvoin confirms that Wives‘ resident lesbian couple will continue to recur when the show returns next year. Also, I carved out this little scooplet from my Q&A: Wives 2.0 will really come into focus in the new season’s third episode, when an “emotional event” unites the new and existing wives. “It’s a catalytic [incident] in a sense that it throws them all together,” previews Melvoin, “And when they get thru that together, that’s where they really emerge as a unified group of friends.”

Army Wives Casts Kellie Martin, Robert John Burke and Ryan Michelle Bathe-TVLine

Army Wives continues to bolster its ranks ahead of its sixth season.

A day after we broke the news that Susan Lucci and Kelli Williams were enlisting for multi-episode arcs, sources confirm that ER‘s Kellie Martin, Rescue Me‘s Robert John Burke and Boston Legal‘s Ryan Michelle Bathe are also joining the Lifetime drama in recurring roles.


Martin will play Nicole, a member of the military police, while Bathe — who in real life is married to Army Wives doc Sterling K. Brown — will portray the head of the Youth Center. Lastly, Burke (a.k.a. Gossip Girl‘s Bart Bass) will appear in seven episodes as an ultra-competitive general and the husband of Williams’ character, Jackie.

Army Wives‘ sixth season is slated to premiere in the spring.
