Charisma Carpenter Guest Starring in Burn Notice

Burn Notice has gotten itself a bombshell of a guest star coming up. TV Line reports that Charisma Carptenter will break necks when she walks by viewers during episode 11 of Burn Notices’s fifth season. You might have seen Carpenter in last years The Expendables, but those like me will know her from her days as Cordelia on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.

Carpenter will be playing Nicki, a “high maintenance trophy wife” who’s married to a bioweapons engineer who has been working with the Russians. As with most trophy wives, she’s not entirely happy with the marriage, which makes her perfect for emotional manipulation. Count on Michael exploiting their marital problems in order to get to her husband.

This gig might be a dream come true for Carpenter, who told TV Line she is actually a big fan of Burn Notice and cable television in general. “I love White Collar and Burn Notice, and I am also obsessed with Sons of Anarchy, Shameless –- I cannot miss an episode — and Californication has been a huge favorite for years. I think Natascha McElhone is probably the most stunning woman that ever walked the Earth. [The cable networks] are just slammin’ it with the great shows.”I’d have to agree with her on that. While no network, cable or otherwise, is perfect, there has been an incredible amount of phenomenal television being pumped out these days. Being a part of such a good show like Burn Notice would be an honor for anyone who watches it from home.
