TVLine Items: Teri Polo's Criminal Mind, Spooky New Walking Dead Video and More!
Fresh from her run on ABC’s short-lived Man Up, Teri Polo is zagging in a very different direction, with a guest-starring role on CBS‘ Criminal Minds.
TVLine has learned that the actress — best known from the Meet the Parents movies — will appear in an upcoming episode as a former high school history teacher who was sent to jail after molesting one of her students. Now out of prison, “Miss Hallman” is on a mission to reunite with her young “lover” — and will kill anyone who gets in her way. Criminal Minds resumes its season this Wednesday, Jan. 18.

Which TVLine Items have you talking today?
Awesome Walking Dead promo!
Hmmm, why would they think they are dead and what were they up to when they thought that they were dead???? Can’t wait to see this ;)
good to see a walking dead scene. february 12th better get here soon my favorite show on t.v. has been off the air for far too long!
Could they pick anymore people that will taint Elizabeth Taylor’s legacy? Poor woman. Can’t we just let it be?
Agreed. I know Lifetime isn’t exactly known for high-quality television, but they are choosing some pretty skanky public personalities to play a very classy lady.
The walking dead preview isn’t there said violated youtube’s terms of service.
Well I’ll be damned.. I knew I recognized the skinny guy in the Walking Dead promo..It’s Rene/ Drew Marshall from the first season of Trueblood! & Judging by how awesome he is in playing nuts, I can’t wait to see what he’s going to do in this show!
