TNT’s Rizzoli and Isles is all new tonight. Check out the preview below to see what is ahead. Lee Thompson Young, who plays Barry Frost on the show, tragically took his own life last year. His character was killed of on the show. Now Frost replacement has been cast, however the network didn’t make a big deal about the casting. Idara Victor will play Nina Holiday on the series.
The show’s executive producer Jan Nash recently spoke with TV Guide about not making a big deal out replacing Frost:
"I think usually it would be a big deal for any show, but we didn't make it too much of a thing at the beginning. We wanted to ease into it given the circumstances...Obviously you can't replace Lee and the Barry Frost role on the show, and in making the decision to really live in the dramatic impact of the loss, we ended up creating some new dynamics within the existing characters. We put Korsak [Bruce McGill] and Jane [Angie Harmon] on cases together, letting Frankie [Jordan Bridges] be involved and have access, and you don't want to disrupt those again by throwing a new detective into it. We really put a lot of thought into creating this new character. We think of her as a new character, not his replacement per se. She's filling a part of the show that is adjacent to, but not quite what Frost was doing."
The official plot synopsis for tonight’s all new episode, titled “Lost and Found,” reads:
“The contract killing of a woman outside a nightclub triggers the team's desperate efforts to find and protect a young witness to the crime.”
Check out the new episode tonight at 9:00 p.m. on TNT.
