--Amy Jo Johnson is morphin' into a Lifetime series star. The former Pink Ranger and "Felicity" co-star will join the cast of Lifetime's "The Division." "The Division" explores the professional and personal lives of a group San Francisco police officers. The series stars Bonnie Bedelia, Nancy McKeon, Lisa Vidal, Tracey Needham, Taraji P. Henson and Jon Hamm. Johnson will play a new officer, Stacy Newland. "We are very happy to have Amy Jo Johnson join the ranks of 'The Division for an exciting fourth season,'" says Kelly Goode, a senior vice president at the cable network. "Amy will bring even more energy to this successful series and compliment our wonderful ensemble cast." A former gymnast, Johnson parlayed her athleticism into a starring role on the insanely popular kids' action series "Might Morphin' Power Rangers," playing Kimberly Ann Hart (and the Pink Ranger). The gymnastics skills also came in handy in a saucy cameo in Robert Towne's underappreciated 1998 film "Without Limits." Johnson is probably best known as Julie Emrick on The WB's college drama
"Felicity."

EXACTLY what i was thinking

Ewan's My Man · 09-14-2003, 02:20 AM

OOOO, I like her!! She was in Suzy Q and she was in that movie about the band...umm...Sweetwater?

However I hope she just plays Raina's partner. I think if they try to get storylines based around her it'll "disrupt the system"

my feelings exactly about "disrupting the system." I like things the way they are right now and I don't want someone new to come in. I can't imagine Raina with a partner, she's the independent type. Maybe she won't play a big part, just a small part in every episode.

Power Ranger joins TD....hmm.

I think it's possible to get too many cast memebers. They're doing the possible. I'm glad to see though that Tracey Needham is returning. Hopefully this won't last long because things are looking a bit crowded...

In Suzy Q. was she the main character or what??

PhoenixMcKeonism · 09-14-2003, 04:52 PM

oh wow, that's is so ironic! Amy Jo Johnson was like my favorite actress back when I was like 9 years old when power rangers used to be on and now she's on The Division with my current favorite actress nancy mckeon. That is so random! Anyway I'm looking forward to the new season now... hopefully she is part of the main cast... I'm losing the interest in the show for some particular reason and she might actually liven up the show why with her athleticism and all that. I dig her

that is the same thing i was thinking. that seems like a lot of people to build stories around?

kadeliah- where did u get that info from?

kadeliah · 09-14-2003, 07:22 PM

here's the link to the story

There are too many cast members as it is....will we see even less of CD, Nate, Cap, and Jin with yet another actor who will get major screen time?

If they were going to add another full time cast member why couldn't it have been Jack or Teddy before he left for his new series?

They'd be better off showing more of the periphery characters like Ben or Cap's husband or Raina's boyfriend, etc instead of adding another full time character. Apparently this actress has a big following or appeals to the right demographics and is a move by Lifetime to get bigger ratings. If she was a regular on Felicity and Power Rangers she must be pretty young and will bring a young audience with her. It seems all the networks are looking for the young viewers.

Let's see... TD cast now has one older redhead(cap), one latino(Mag), one blonde(CD), one man(Nate), one black(Raina), one middle aged brunette former child actor(Jin), and now a former Power Ranger. I think they've got everything covered.
