Drop Dead Diva: Back From The Dead!
“Drop Dead Diva” returned this weekend and I really enjoyed the premier. We picked up a few days after the wedding fiasco, and Owen has gone MIA. Jane’s old angel nobody liked got recalled to heaven and she got a new one named Paul (Cowboy Austin from “90210”) who played a pretty faced model-wanna-be angel who seemed to not give a fark as to what Jane does or doesn’t do. I’m assuming he’s not really this dense and is going to swoop in at some point when she needs him? Oh how I miss Fred!
Jane was frantically searching for Owen, but had been warned Old Jane pressed the return button and could now be in Owen. Fortunately she wasn’t, but Owen was very very angry with Jane and not really ready for a sit-down-chat about what happened. This lead to the question “where is Old Jane?” By the very end of the episode a stunning woman showed up at New Jane’s door and it was Old Jane! So they’ve done a complete body reversal it seems . . . . Old Jane however wanted her old body and old life back.
Parker was MIA in this episode. The news broke earlier that the actor would not be returning full time, even though Kim is pregnant with his child. Also Grasons feelings for New Jane weren’t really addressed, but based on the previews look to be next week.

I could watch a entire hour of just Paul! He’s not really my type but he was just so much fun to watch – especially when he was discovering his abs.
Until Original Jane showed up I thought that maybe she was in Paul. Shouldn’t we expect Original Jane to be a mix of herself and the person she went into?

I thought new Jane was going to be the judge over Deb/Jane’s case. She was acting pretty weird

Ok they better not be aiming to put Kim and Grayson back together judging from all the cases thet have them on together and it doesn’t look like they address the grayson/jane thing at all from the previews you gave, I want more of that the kiss better not just be it
