An Emmy Award nominee is coming to One Tree Hill.

Veteran actress Sharon Lawrence, who earned the aforementioned nomination for guest-starring as Izzie's mother on Grey's Anatomy, has landed a similar role on this CW hit: she'll play Julian's mother, EW reports.

It's safe to assume this character will show up to assist with wedding planning. She'll make her first appearance on October 6 and is slated for an unannounced number of episodes.

The series returns on September 24. Visit our One Tree Hill spoilers section for an in-depth look at the new season.
