Scott Foley Teams With Rina Mimoun To Write A Drama Pilot

Scott Foley’s TV appearances have been numerous over the last decade. From Scrubs to The Unit and more recently, Cougar Town and Grey’s Anatomy, Foley’s certainly made a name for himself on the small screen, however I’ll probably always associate him with his role as Noel from Felicity (Team Noel for life!).

According to Deadline, Foley’s latest venture will actually have him working off-camera as he’s set to write a drama pilot for CBS/WBTV, alongside Rina Mimoun. Foley and Minmoun worked together previously on a pilot called The Doctor, in which Foley starred. This new project, titled The Escape Artist will be Foley’s first project as a writer.

In addition to The Doctor, Minmoun’s credit’s include creating Privileged, and writing for Eastwick, Pushing Daisies and Everwood, as well as an episode of The CW’s upcoming new series Hart of Dixie. Given that a lot of her projects appear to lean toward the young-adult demographic, I’ll be interested to see what she and Foley put together with The Escape Artist. The pilot involves a brother and sister who help people disappear. It definitely sounds interesting and could be a good fit for The CW or CBS (probably depending on the age of the siblings.) I also wonder if Foley will write himself into the show, or if he’ll be staying completely behind the scenes for this one.

Scott Foley lands 'True Blood' gig, but what about 'Grey's Anatomy'?

It has been an excellent week for Scott Foley fans.

No, J.J. Abrams didn't finally admit that Noel was way better than Ben, though we're still holding out hope for some retroactive closure. (Yeah, "Felicity" ended nine years ago... what? What's your point?)

First of all, Foley joined Twitter. You can follow him at @TheScottFoley, as confirmed by "Felicity" co-star Greg Grunberg. He's still figuring it out, but he did take some time to re-tweet congratulations to Busy Phillips for her Critic's Choice Award for her work on "Cougar Town," which Foley recurred on in its first season.

Now, TVLine reports that Foley will guest star on "True Blood" this season, as Patrick, a "tough and ruggedly attractive" buddy of Terry's (Todd Lowe) from his army days. (Translated into WB-speak: OMG, Noel from "Felicity" and Zack from "Gilmore Girls" are totally friends!!!!!!!!!!!) The role is described as "pivotal." No word yet on whether or not it will require the use of a modesty sock, but really... who on "True Blood" hasn't gotten naked?

The good news continues -- Foley's "True Blood" gig is not expected to interfere with his return to "Grey's Anatomy" as the best thing to happen to the show in years Dr. Altman's husband-turned-love-interest. Yes, it happened in that order. While there hasn't been any official confirmation from ABC that Foley will be back, his "True Blood" shooting schedule doesn't overlap with the "Grey's" cast returning to Seattle Grace, and Shonda Rhimes has said that she has plans for Henry and Teddy this season.

Now, because you can, watch Noel Crane get slapped by Tyra Banks. Just trust us. Watch here

It doesn't look like Scott's show was picked up. Maybe that will leave some possibilities for Grey's Anatomy.
