Tuesdays on the USA network viewers are enjoying White Collar, a fun series that the official website describes thus:

White Collar is about the unlikely partnership of a con artist and an FBI agent who have been playing cat and mouse for years. Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer), a charming criminal mastermind, is finally caught by his nemesis, FBI Agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay.)

When Neal escapes from a maximum-security prison to find his long-lost love, Peter nabs him once again. Rather than returning to jail, Neal suggests an alternate plan: He’ll provide his criminal expertise to assist the Feds in catching other elusive criminals in exchange for his eventual freedom. Initially wary, Peter quickly finds that Neal provides insight and intuition that can’t be found on the right side of the law.

Now, TV Line is reporting that former One Tree Hill actress Hilarie Burton has been promoted from recurring guest star to “series regular” for season three. Burton is positive about this change, saying of her co-stars, the series leads (Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay) “are so sincere in their generosity and their kindness, I’d stay forever, man.”

As the character of Peyton on her past CW series, there was a lot of angst and crying going on. As far as her new, long term role, “If you want to see me having a good time and being, you know, clever and quick-witted, this is the place to do it,” the actress says. TV Line described her White Collar character as “a top-shelf insurance investigator who considers Neal to be ‘the one that got away’ — meaning, ahem, a thoroughly elusive art thief.”
