Odette Annable is the latest star added to the cast of Walker!
The 35-year-old actress will have the recurring role of Geri, EW confirms.
Geri is the bartender at a local bar called the Side Step, and is described as “an old friend of Walker and his late wife, Emily, who hasn’t seen Walker since Emily’s funeral. It’s clear that she and Walker have a history — a friendship and a shared tragedy.”
Walker will of course be played by Jared Padalecki, and Emily was recently announced to be played by Jared‘s real life wife Genevieve!
Odette has actually been dropping hints on Instagram since mid-September, when she revealed that she, hubby Dave and daughter Charlie Mae were moving to Austin.
Odette is no stranger to The CW, as she has previously starred on Supergirl and Tell Me A Story.
