Drop Dead Diva Drops Josh Stamberg as Regular, Adds Trio of Guest Stars

at .

When Drop Dead Diva Season 5 kicks off on June 23, one familiar face will be missing:

The Wrap confirms that Josh Stamberg will not return to the Lifetime series as law firm managing partner Jay Parker, despite the reveal on the Season 4 finale that Kim Kaswell is carrying his child.

The casting decision was made for budgetary reasons.

Natalie Hall (Pretty Little Liars), meanwhile, will guest star on two episodes, though details on her role are being kept quiet.

Veteran actors John Ratzenberger and Sandra Bernhard will also stop by the fun Lifetime series.
