EW.com: Joe Manganiello Reprising His Role as Owen


Bon Temps-bound Joe Manganiello is making a little pit stop in Tree Hill.

The actor, whose career got a monster-sized boost earlier this week when he landed the coveted role of werewolf Alcide on True Blood, has signed on to reprise his role as Brooke’s alcoholic ex, Owen, on One Tree Hill for an episode.

Manganiello will squeeze in his OTH comeback before beginning work on True Blood in late January.

When last seen in season 6, Owen was heading off to rehab. What brings him back? Beats me. Whatever the reason, it’s safe to say he’ll add another layer of tension to Brooke’s already-rocky romance with Julian. At least that’s what EW’s Jennifer Armstrong theorizes. I’m a little behind on OTH.

Thoughts? Looking forward to seeing Owen again? Happy to see that Manganiello hasn’t forgotten his roots? Sound off below!

Sooooo looking forward to it! I wish he was actually going to come back as Owen for the rest of the show and whisk Brooke away from Julian because even though they had their issues, I think the rough-around-the-edges Owen would be good for Brooke. Plus, having found out that she can't have children, it would have opened it up for Brooke to pull away saying he only wanted her now because there was no child problem and he could redeem himself in her eyes by proving that he would have been with her either way. She needs someone right now and, ignoring the baby scare, he has always been about wanting to be there for her. Still, True Blood won't hurt his resume, I just am sad I don't watch it and I won't see the very fine Joe.
