TNT ‘Rizzoli & Isles’ New Episode Previews with Lee Thompson Young Barry Frost Replacement and ‘Battlestar Galactica’ Jamie Bamber

TNT’s Rizzoli and Isles is all new tonight. Check out the episode preview to see what is in store for the series, before next week’s mid-season finale. Recently, the show introduced Detective Barry Frost’s (Lee Thompson Young) replacement Nina Holiday. Next week the show will feature special guest Jamie Bamber from Battlestar Galactica.

The official plot synopsis for tonight’s all new episode of Rizzoli & Isles, titled "If You Can't Stand the Heat," reads:

“A man dies suspiciously in a bathtub full of ice during a heat wave. Angela tries to stay cool by drinking a spicy tea, but the beverage brings with it unforeseen romantic consequences.”

Next week’s mid-season finale introduces Battlestar Galactica vet Jamie Bamber. The offical plot synopis for that episode, titled “Burden of Proof,” reads:

“A high-profile prosecutor is arrested for murder, but Jane soon suspects he didn't commit the crime. Meanwhile, Angela educates Maura about modern-day kids when Maura anticipates meeting Jack's 12-year-old daughter.”

Recently, the show introduced the “replacement,” of sorts for Barry Frost, who was played by Lee Thompson Young, who took his own life last year. Executive producer Jan Nash recently spoke with TV Guide about not making a big deal out replacing Frost:

"I think usually it would be a big deal for any show, but we didn't make it too much of a thing at the beginning. We wanted to ease into it given the circumstances...Obviously you can't replace Lee and the Barry Frost role on the show, and in making the decision to really live in the dramatic impact of the loss, we ended up creating some new dynamics within the existing characters. We put Korsak [Bruce McGill] and Jane [Angie Harmon] on cases together, letting Frankie [Jordan Bridges] be involved and have access, and you don't want to disrupt those again by throwing a new detective into it. We really put a lot of thought into creating this new character. We think of her as a new character, not his replacement per se. She's filling a part of the show that is adjacent to, but not quite what Frost was doing."

Check out the all new episode of Rizzoli and Isles tonight at 9:00 p.m. on TNT.
