Scott Wolf joins 'Everwood' cast

HOLLYWOOD, July 8 (UPI) -- Heartthrob Scott Wolf, last seen as "Party of Five's" Baily Salinger, returns to U.S. TV this fall as a doctor on the WB's "Everwood."

Wolf has been cast as Dr. Jake Hanson, a patient-stealing physician who moves to Everwood, Colo., from California, the New York Post reported Wednesday.

Wolf has been in a number of films since the end of "Party's" run, but this marks his return to the small screen in a starring role.

"Everwood" is an ensemble drama centered around a brain surgeon played by Treat Williams who moves his family from Manhattan to Everwood after the death of his wife.

The last prime time Jake Hanson, by the way, was Grant Show's frequently shirtless character on Fox's long running "Melrose Place."
