Here is some good news I just read about Scott (or our LUKE):

" * On June 29, Scott Patterson accepted a position on Aliens in America as the father, Gary Tolchuk
* CW and SP’s people cleared all misunderstandings, as they were, last week and were able to come to negotiations on this matter
* Lots of things were decontextualized and misunderstood on both sides, but things are now totally fine
* The CW has nothing but respect for Scott Patterson and did not mean for anything to be misrepresented as otherwise
* Scott Patterson was more than happy to audition, once he cleared things up, in order to give the creative team his take on the character
* Scott Patterson picked Aliens in America as the new CW show he wanted to be a part of (with his contract, he was guaranteed one). He is very much looking forward to working with this creative team. He thinks the show is exciting and has a lot of potential.
* Scott Patterson was never angry nor upset at the CW, although there were misunderstandings

So, I am very relieved that everything is ok and that most of what was reported was simply a series of misunderstandings all around. I am truly excited that we’ll be seeing Scott Patterson back on tv this fall - every Monday at 8:30pm. Mark your calendars!! I’ll bring you more info on the show next week."

So damn the CW, now I have to at least check out one of their shows. =0P
