Ask Stacy -- Week of January 28

DEAR STACY: T.R. Knight was amazing on "Law & Order: SVU." I still miss him on "Grey's Anatomy." What is he up to these days, and is there any chance he'll do another series? — Pat L., Whitefish Bay, Wis.

DEAR PAT: Knight has done a lot of work on the New York stage in the last few years, from numerous staged readings to David Mamet's "A Life in the Theatre" on Broadway.

At this time, there's nothing new as far as a T.R. return to TV full-time, I'm afraid. Interestingly, "Grey's Anatomy" creator Shonda Rhimes was recently quoted saying that Knight's George O'Malley character isn't dead in the alternate world of the much-talked-about "If/Then" episode they've had in the works. However, O'Malley no longer works at the hospital. Lots of fans have been clamoring to see him back on the show, along with his close pal Katherine Heigl, so who knows?

DEAR STACY: Is Teller from Penn & Teller able to talk? — L.B., Allentown, Penn.

DEAR L.B.: Yeah, his silent routine is just show business.

In fact, he's spoken publicly many times. For instance, he spoke — animatedly — in an episode of "The Simpsons" titled "Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder," in which Homer Simpson admonishes him for talking onstage, and Teller cries out, "'Well, I didn't mean to ... it slipped out. Oh, now Penn's gonna beat me."

DEAR STACY: You wrote that Janet McTeer is going to play a lawyer on "Damages." When will that be on? I haven't seen that show in a long time. — Lynn H., Fullerton, Calif.

DEAR LYNN: "Damages" returns in July, showing on DirecTV only.

DEAR STACY: Please advise if David James Elliott of "JAG" will be seen in other TV shows. — Craig D., Shreveport, La.

DEAR CRAIG: Yes, Elliott is playing hubby to Kristin Chenoweth in ABC's Feb. 7-debuting "G.C.B." That's the Dallas-set dramedy involving a former mean girl (Leslie Bibb) who comes home in humiliation after a scandalous divorce and has to face her old high school frenemies. Very, very different from "JAG."
