Tonight TNT airs the Summer finale of it’s hit series Rizzoli and Isles, featuring Battlestar Galactica’s Jamie Bamber. Bamber’s introduction comes just a few weeks after the introduction of Barry Frost’s (Lee Thompson Young) replacement, Nina Holiday.
The official plot synopsis for tonight’s all new 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.”
Check out the official preview trailer for tonight’s Summer finale:
Tonight’s episode introduces Battlestar Galactica vet Jamie Bamber in what may be a recurring role.
In the past few weeks we met the“replacement,” for Barry Frost, (Lee Thompson Young) Nina Hoilday. The show’s 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 Summer finale of Rizzoli and Isles tonight at 9:00 p.m. on TNT.
