Paula Newsome Cast on FlashForward

Now that it's been picked up for a full season, expect FlashForward to announce a few casting notes for early 2010 and beyond.

First case in point: Paula Newsome will come aboard the show early next year. The actress - who has guest-starred on Bones, NCIS and played a prominent role on the short-lived Women's Murder Club - will play a doctor on the drama.

No word yet on how this character wil tie in to the rest of the story, but Olivia does work at a hospital, so anything is possible.
