Army Wives

Even though Season Three is barely underway, the drama is already at an all-time high in the Sherwood family on Lifetime's Army Wives. Terry Serpico, who plays Frank Sherwood, recently spoke to TV Guide about Army Wives and his character.

Excerpts of his interview appear below. Here's what Terry Serpico has to say about Denise and what made her have an extramarital tryst, why her best gal pals are giving her the cold shoulder and what's next for the troubled couple ...

TV Guide: So where do we pick up this week with the Frank-and-Denise saga?

Terry Serpico: This week on Army Wives, Frank is on his way home [from his mission]. He's on his way to deal with his domestic situation under the guise of being reassigned. But the unspoken assignment is to deal with his wife. And in his return, there is the obvious confrontation where he wants to hear from her about the affair.

All he knows is she's been terminated from her job and the rest is all rumors.

TV Guide: Why do you think Denise, once such a doting wife, ended up having an affair?

Terry Serpico: Denise was kind of denied a young adulthood. She married Frank when she was 19 years old; he was her only lover and her life. She got to a point where she realized there was more and she wanted to experience those things she's been denied before. She wanted to sow these wild oats, and it's a little late to be sowing those oats - not late in terms of her age, but late in that she's married.

On this weekend's season premiere Army Wives, Pamela debuts as the leader of the new Army Family Team Building support group.

What else will the character take on this season? Actress Brigid Brannagh spoke to TV Guide about the episodes ahead.

On upcoming storylines for Pamela: There actually are a few professions for Pam this year, as she searches for herself. She's all over the place, which I think is kind of funny. I mean, she's going to coach football!

On Pamela's personality: I like to be the bit of comic relief - after all, life is kind of boring. But I just read the script that we're [shooting] this week, and I definitely have a lot more angst for the next few episodes. I always get so emotional reading scripts like that.

Below are some pictures from Sunday night's third season premiere of Lifetime's Army Wives, entitled "Best Laid Plans." Denise will need to deal with the fall out her affair everyone does whatever they can to find Emmalin and Logan, and Roxy fights to get the bar back.

As the third season premiere of Army Wives nears, Sally Pressman (Roxy) says the June 7 show will answer "every single question" ... so the wives can face a new set of problems!

For Roxy and Trevor, who are deeply invested in a failing business, those problems are financial - yet as we hinted yesterday, may be readily remedied by a plucky newcomer.

Any theories on who that might be?

Lifetime's hit show Army Wives is recruiting some new guest-stars for its third season, which premieres this coming Sunday, June 7.

For starters, Grammy-winning recording artist Shelby Lynne will appear in an August episode, playing a country music singer whom Roxy adored while growing up, but now is "down and out," cast member Brigid Brannagh (Pamela) tells TV Guide.

"Roxy (Sally Pressman) ends up befriending her - and then she sings a little ditty at the Hump Bar, which is pretty cool."

Appearing in the episode after Lynne's is Gilmore Girls alum Kelly Bishop.

She will be playing the wife of a late, great state senator, in town to attend a building-naming ceremony. Charged with entertaining the special guest, Claudia Joy and Denise come to realize the not-so-weeping widow's secret - that she's a cougar!

A couple of teasers as the new season draws closer:

• Roxy (below) hits some bumps with the Hump Bar.
• Pamela struggles with her husband being away.
• While Joan is wrapped up in her new position, Roland realizes that being a stay-at-home dad doesn't necessarily mesh with his career goals. 

Lifetime has ordered a fourth season of Army Wives, the network said Tuesday. The network has ordered 18 episodes for Season Four, which will premiere in June 2010.

Army Wives has been Lifetime's most successful series to date, with the second season finale giving the network its highest ratings ever in the coveted 18-34 demographic.

The series is also cable's most watched drama among women 18-49, a demo the network has been trying hard to attract as it seeks to shift its core viewership younger.

The pickup also comes in advance of the Season Three premiere this June.

"This early pick-up - even prior to the Season Three premiere - is a true testament to our commitment and support of this great show," said JoAnn Alfano, Executive Vice President of Lifetime Networks, in announcing the pickup of Army Wives.
