Billy Baldwin, who recently appeared in a recurring role on NBC’s Parenthood, is sticking around the small screen as he’s set to appear in The CW’s Gossip Girl for a couple of episodes.

According to Deadline, Baldwin will be returning to his role as William van der Woodsen (Serena and Eric’s father) in Gossip Girl. He’s signed on to appear in at least two episodes.

In other, casting news, Deadline also reported that Jason Wiles has been signed on to guest star in ABC’s Castle to play “an old friend of Castle’s who becomes a prime suspect in a murder.” Wiles was recently seen in NBC’s summer mystery drama series Persons Unknown, however I’ll probably always associate him with his role as Colin, the artist who helped get Kelly mixed up with drugs on the original Beverly Hills, 90210 in one of the show’s later seasons.

Kelly West
Assistant Managing Editor

Kelly put her life-long love of movies, TV and books to greater use when she joined CinemaBlend as a freelance TV news writer in 2006, and went on to serve as the site’s TV Editor before joining the staff full-time in 2011 and moving over to other roles at the site. At present, she’s an Assistant Managing Editor who spends much of her time brainstorming and editing features, analyzing site data, working with writers and editors on content planning and the workflow, and (of course) continuing to obsess over the best movies and TV shows (those that already exist, and the many on the way). She graduated from SUNY Cortland with BA in Communication Studies and a minor in Cinema Studies. When she isn't working, she's probably thinking about work, or reading (or listening to a book), and making sure her cats are living their absolute best feline lives.
