6 сезон

Что-то я не сразу врубилась - 5 сезонов уже сняли, 6 - начнут снимать в 2010, а в этом году что, перерыв?

Sean McNamara's family tree is having a little work done.

Nip/Tuck has tapped Lost alum Neil Hopkins (he played Charlie's heroin-addicted sibling, Liam) to join the cast as Sean's long-lost brother, Brendan, sources confirm to me exclusively.

An FX rep wouldn't confirm the hire, but a Nip/Tuck insider describes the character -- who'll be introduced at the tail end of the show's upcoming sixth season -- as a recovering meth addict (pigeonholed much, Neil?) who has been living on a nature preserve. "Sean thought his brother had died," explains the source. "So he's definitely surprised to see him."

Nip/Tuck's fifth season concludes on March 3. FX has yet to announce a launch date for season 6, but Wikipedia puts it at early 2010, followed by the series-concluding seventh season in 2011. Take that with a grain of salt, though.

What do you think about Sean getting a brother? Intriguing development, or the latest in a long line of shark-jumping moments for the show? Sound off below!

GILLES MARINI -- Gilles Marini exploded onto the scene as Dante, the Casanova living in the beach house next door to Kim Cattrall's Samantha in the "Sex and the City" movie, a role which has earned him international recognition. Born and raised in France, Gilles joined the French army and was stationed in Paris, where he acted as a fireman for the famous Brigade des Sapeurs Pompiers de Paris. After fulfilling his military duties, Gilles decided to go to the United States to learn English while working as a model. Gilles, who has appeared in series such as "Ugly Betty," "Dirty Sexy Money," and "Criminal Minds," will next be seen as Vanessa Redgrave's husband on FX's "Nip/Tuck." Gilles currently resides in California with his wife Carole, son Georges, and daughter Juliana.
