For Jennifer Beals’ fans still mourning Fox’s axing The Chicago Code it’s great news that the actress who starred on that show and played power lesbian extraordinaire Bette Porter on The L Wordfor six seasons is headed back to television for a two-episode arc on Castle, according to TV Guide.
Beals will guest star on Castle during February sweeps playing Sophia Conrad, “a smart, commanding and sexy CIA operative,” TV Guide reports. Beals playing smart and sexy? That sounds like spot-on casting for sure!
A break-out star in the 80’s with Flashdance, Beals proved to be a bit of an indie film darling in the 90’s with roles in Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle, Four Rooms and The Anniversary Party before landing the role that endeared her to lesbian fans --pretty much--forever on The L Word.
Since The L Word’s finale in 2009 Beals has appeared in Fox’s Lie to Me and starred as a tough-as-nails police chief in the short-lived cop show The Chicago Code.
It may be time to tune into Castle!
