On January 13, Auggie and Violet will be leaving the show.  That is not new news to regular readers, BUT it seems that two new characters will be added to the cast list: Dr. Drew Pragin played by Nick Zano and Ben Brinkley played by Billy Campbell.

Yes, take a minute and read it again.  The actor's name is Billy Campbell, Andrew Shue is not returning to the show.  Some of you may remember him as the charismatic cult leader from the now defunct USA sci-fi show 4400.

Nick Zano	Billy Campbell

Dr. Pragin is a doctor with a secret and god ol Ben is Amanda's boyfriend, which begs the question: "Is Dr. Peter Burns ok with this?".  When we last left Amanda, she had run off with her soul mate Dr. Peter Burns, played by her now real life lover Jack Wagner.
