To the delight of Dawson's Creek fans, Katie Holmes is already making her presence felt on Eli Stone.

According to E! Online, though, another alum of that teen drama is set to make an appearance on the series:

Kerr Smith will be "coming on board as a senior attorney who is a good foil for Maggie," said executive producer Marc Guggenheim.

Also, look for Katey Sagal to return in the second episode, but "we do end up losing her a couple of episodes in because of Sons of Anarchy." Moreover, Tom Amandes will be sticking around as partner Martin Posner, and Marc says:

"Just wait! You think he was bad in the premiere - he gets much, much worse!"

Might Katie be recruiting Dawson or Pacey for a future Eli Stone episode?
