'Carey Show' Retooling Effort Adds 'Titus' Alum

HOLLYWOOD (Variety) – Cynthia Watros ("Titus") will join the cast of "The Drew Carey Show" when the ABC comedy enters its eighth season this fall. Watros, whose credits include a Daytime Emmy Award-winning turn on CBS soap "The Guiding Light," will portray a new character named Alison, a recent divorcee who has har-bored a crush on Drew since they went to high school together. The cast addition is part of an overhaul de-signed to bring the show back to its roots. Among the changes announced during ABC's press tour this month was the exit of longtime cast member Christa Miller, who portrays the character Kate O'Brien. She will leave after the second episode of the coming season.

Not to mention the show will be moving to Monday nights right before Monday Night Football and Whose Line Is It Anyway?.

The show needs some change but I wonder if they will still have the What's Wrong With This Episode and the Live Episode that they have been doing for the past couple of years.

I like the show....but this sounds like a "jumped the shark" season.

Titus was a good show and it will be missed from my usual TV show watching.

What...Christa Miller is leaving??? Say it ain't so!!! I love the character of Kate O'brien and it won't be as good (IMHO) without her. It's gonna be as bad as when the girl that plays "Reggie" on "Becker" leaves....It's so sad!!!
