Eli Stone fans are dying to know:

Will Katie Holmes return to the show as Grace? Executive producer Marc Guggenheim has the answer:

Ratings for Katie Holmes' debut on Eli Stone helped the show avoid a significant ratings drop this week.

The series saw its ratings drop between the season premiere and this week's episode, but only by three percent (8.8 million viewers versus 8.5 million). It wasn't all great news for Eli Stone, however.

To the delight of Dawson's Creek fans, Katie Holmes is already making her presence felt on Eli Stone.

According to E! Online, though, another alum of that teen drama is set to make an appearance on the series:

Kerr Smith will be "coming on board as a senior attorney who is a good foil for Maggie," said executive producer Marc Guggenheim.

Also, look for Katey Sagal to return in the second episode, but "we do end up losing her a couple of episodes in because of Sons of Anarchy." Moreover, Tom Amandes will be sticking around as partner Martin Posner, and Marc says:

"Just wait! You think he was bad in the premiere - he gets much, much worse!"

Might Katie be recruiting Dawson or Pacey for a future Eli Stone episode?

Katie Holmes will be a Female Eli Stone

matt@mediavine.com (Matt Richenthal) — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 12:00:18 EST

Eli Stone is off to a strong second season start.

And the show is likely to garner far more attention over the next few weeks, as Katie Holmes come aboard the show in the role of Grace.

But who is Grace? E! Online asked show runner Marc Guggenheim that exact question.

"I like to call [Katie's character Grace] She-li because she's kind of the female version of Eli...She's a lawyer who changed her life and went in a much more public-interest, pro-bono direction. She kind of represents another way Eli could have gone with his whole change of life."

According to various Eli Stone spoilers, Katie Holmes' character will play a key role this season.

So, does Mrs. Tom Cruise stick around?

"Yeah, Grace sort of remains in the background throughout the year, and then she moves large toward the middle half of the season. The relationship that's established is obviously a very important one to Eli, and I don't think we would be being truthful with either the show or his character if we didn't occasionally allow Grace to influence the scenes that Eli's in and the experience that he's going through.

ABC Asks Four More Eli Stone

ABC is reportedly so happy with early ratings of Eli Stone that the network has ordered an additional four scripts for this season.

"It's an incredible vote of confidence," executive producer Marc Guggenheim told Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello.

"I had told [ABC] that in order to keep production rolling [beyond Eli's initial 13-episode order], I would need to know by Wednesday [if they wanted more]. I figured at the very least that would give them a day's worth of ratings to analyze. And they were like, 'Nope, we'll just order them now.'"
