James Tupper Returns on ‘Samantha Who?’
November 17, 2008 by Chandra
Get happy, Men in Trees fans. That ABC show might be over, but former series star James Tupper will be back on the tube again November 17, when he returns to the network’s Samantha Who? as the title character’s latest boyfriend, Owen.
If you recall, Tupper debuted on the sitcom at the beginning of the month, in the November 3rd episode “The Building.” When he shows up tomorrow night, Sam will finally get around to revealing a little secret to him: that she lives with her ex Todd. No worries, though, because Owen’s best friend also happens to be his ex, Willow (does anyone else immediately think of Alyson Hannigan’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer character every time they hear that name?).
The problem enters the situation when both of said exes develop a thing for each other, which forces Sam to once again cope with her continuing feelings for Todd.
And, for added comic relief, Dena tries mightily to help Andrea get a date with a professional basketball player, although it seems impossible to take the needed flattering picture of the lawyer.
Tupper fans: Check out a three-minute clip from his earlier appearance on the series after the jump.
Samantha Who? airs Mondays on ABC from 9:32pm-10:02pm EST.
