NEW YORK (AP) - Cheryl Hines stars in a new sitcom on ABC called "In the Motherhood" but fans of her work on "Curb Your Enthusiasm" can relax. She's not going anywhere.

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" will return to HBO later this year along with Hines, playing Mrs. Larry David, for its seventh season. On "Curb Your Enthusiasm," Larry David portrays a version of himself: a neurotic guy who lacks a filter when speaking.

Hines says she and Larry David clicked right away - and she's gotten him from day one. The characters Larry and Cheryl David separated during season six of "Curb." But Hines hopes they work it out.

Laughing, she says: "I think they should be together. Who else is gonna love him?"

I hope the Blacks are back! I love me some Leon.

I posted some casting information a while back on the TV.com forum for Curb, and I figured I'd repost it here.

Vivica A. Fox (Loretta Black) is returning for at least 2-3 episodes this season.

Sharon Lawrence is also going to be guest-starring this season, but the number of episodes is unknown.

And of course, the entire Seinfeld cast is doing a multi-episode stint!

So, the ending to season 6 wasn't a dream sequence, but reality. I don't know how they are going to write Loretta out of the series, but she will not become a regular...

I'm quite pleased that Cheryl is coming back - I always liked her character.
