I know, saying "Don Draper's mistress" doesn't really narrow it down, does it?Abigail Spencer, who played (plays?) schoolteacher Suzanne Farrell on AMC's Mad Men this past season, has landed a role on the new NBC drama Rex Is Not Your Lawyer. I guarantee that will be one of the odder titles for a new show in 2010 or whenever the show debuts. It's about a lawyer who gets anxiety attacks (that has to be a career killer) so he actually teachers his clients how to represent themselves in court. Spencer will play another lawyer.
What does this mean for Miss Farrell? Who knows. She could appear on both shows though. Alison Brie appears on two different shows too (Mad Men and NBC's Community), so it's possible that Spencer could still appear on Mad Men while on this show. Of course, I hope she's out of the picture and we see Rachel or Midge again.

This girl is seriously beautiful. She was also 'Blah Blah' on HIMYM.

oh wow, one of my scenarios for next season would have been that after the divorce from betty, don contiinues a relationship with the teacher. that sounds unlikely now.

That was my hope, too. But she is up for a pilot. And the pilot hasn't been picked up yet.
Probably some good PR from her people to raise her profile. Nothing bad could come out of being on MM with the lead character, however.

Hildy (Julie McLiven) also has a recurring role on Supernatural as Anna (the Angel).

On Saturday's airing of the Graham Norton show, David Tennant (Doctor Who) says he is the one playing Rex. He spoke a bit about looking for work in the US and having to go back to auditioning.

As long as she gets some more morning jogging scenes, I'm all for her on a show.
Isn't she also the gullible gal in the Twix commercials who likes blogging and believes the guy's messy apartment has been broken into?

Her character was so picture perfect for me that I am on the fence if I want her to return. I mean that in a good way. I just don't want to see her character get hurt. : )
She was one of the most beautiful women I have seen on that show. I do think she will return though...remember Don saying "Not Right Now" or something like that when she asked when she could see him again. I doubt the writers would let that slip.......
Still buzzing from the season finale.
