A pair of casting tidbits on a pair of new, promising new shows:

A pair of new fall shows have undergone casting changes already.

First, former CSI star Louise Lombard will NOT be making the trek to NCIS: Los Angeles, even though she appeared in the two NCIS episodes that served as a backdoor pilot for the spin-off.

Instead, the series will recast its female lead, who will have the good fortune of starring alongside LL Cool J and Chris O'Donnell.

Similarly, The Hollywood Reporter, states that Three Rivers is searching for a new head of transplant surgery, following the decision to replace Julia Ormond. It shouldn't be too hard to find a woman to work opposite star Alex O'Loughlin (pictured).

First Look at CBS' Three Rivers

With its upcoming Three Rivers, CBS hopes to work its way into a medical genre that for years has been dominated by NBC (ER) and ABC (Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice).

Three Rivers goes inside the lives of organ donors, the recipients and the surgeons at the preeminent transplant hospital in the U.S. - in Pittsburgh, Pa., thus the name.

The series premieres in the fall of 2009.

As part of a new CBS roster that includes NCIS: Los Angeles, Three Rivers offers stories and characters whose unique, intertwined perspectives show how dealing with donor families and managing the fears and concerns of recipients takes more than a sharp scalpel.

Three Rivers stars Alex O'Loughlin and Julia Ormond.

Here's a three-minute preview of the show:
