Sara Bibel is reporting that Emmy nominated Paul Leyden is returning as Simon Fraiser. Scenes to air around Christmas.

That is great news! That's just about the time when Maura would probably come back too.

I would really love it if they rekindled Simon and Katie's relationship. It is a possibility now that Peck is gone.

Maura's back by the end of September.

What is the obsession with this man??? I don't get it. His last return was such a bust, and they ruined the character of Carly so much that the reverberations are still being felt.
