TV Guide: FNL Will Be Minus A Mom

Janine Turner is not being used as a cast member in the fourth season of Friday Night Lights. Turner was introduced last season as Katie McCoy, but “so far we don’t have her in any stories,” says executive producer Jason Katims.

But the actors who play Katie’s husband Joe (D.W. Moffett) and quarterback son J.D. (Jeremy Sumpter) will both play heavily in the new season’s episodes. “Joe has basically replaced Buddy Garrity as the presence at West Dillon High,” says Katims. “There will also be a huge tension between Joe and Tami (Connie Britton) regarding a new player named Luke (Lipstick Jungle’s Matt Lauria).”

Will you miss Katie/Janine, or did you never get to know her well enough to miss her?
