What the Frak?!? Tricia Helfer Gives Chuck a Tumble

WARNING: Spoilers ahead!

Ausiello has just confirmed that Battlestar Galactica’s Tricia Helfer has signed on for a role on Chuck as a potential replacement for Yvonne Strahovski’s Agent Walker.

WHAT?!?

OK, here’s the scoop:

General Beckman — who has been growing increasingly concerned about Chuck and Sarah’s intensifying bond — considers bringing in a new G-woman to work alongside Chuck. Enter Agent Forrest, who shows no fear, no remorse and, much to Agent Casey’s delight, is very easy on the eyes.

But Helfer isn’t moving in on Strahovski’s turf permanently, is she? Actually…no, she’s not. Helfer’s only booked for one episode (Episode 2.18), and Strahovski’s got, well, an ironclad six-year contract.

Whew! Meanwhile, Ausiello also spilled the beans on a couple of other guest roles coming up:

•    Jonathan Cake (Six Degrees) is coming on board for a multi-episode arc as a Gerard Butler-esqe British MI6 agent by the name of Cole Barker. The rugged, macho spy catches Sarah’s eye and makes Chuck feel even geekier than usual.

•    Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover girl Brooklyn Decker will guest star in episode 15 when Jeff and Lester take over the hiring process at Buy More and begin recruiting potential Buy More booth babes.

  1. Sounds good to me.

  2. The beginning of this post almost gave me a heart attack! I would be devastated if they replaced Yvonne on the show. ‘Chuck’ just wouldn’t be the same without her! Good thing she has a six-year contract. 🙂

    And another great casting for the best show on television.

  3. MMMM why u put that news to make me sad, coz i don’t think chuck will be the same if sarah is not there anymore, i hope so never quit out coz personally i willl start to hate the serie even i’m a huge fan really huge… CHUCK AND SARAH FOREVER!!! sorry but my english, i do my best coz i’m from mexico and here love the serie a lot…

  4. late comment but i just can’t wait to have a third season, the storycon is getting very entertaining, and interesting, the show is like a feel good show to watch at the end of hectic, heavy bad good day of work,and charah moments are something to look forward.
