Odette Annable to Recur on New Girl As...

Not so fast, Nick and Jess 'shippers.

TV Line confirms that former House actress Odette Annable has landed a recurring role on New Girl Season 2, one that may delay the inevitable Nick/Jess relationship.

Annable will portray Shane, the new lady in charge at Nick's bar and someone who starts having a fling with the cynical bartender. She will appear on multiple episodes of the Fox comedy.

The star has also appeared on Breaking In and Brothers & Sisters and will soon come on board Cinemax’s first-year drama, Banshee.
