(Carrie Preston on her role of Tascioni) I am aware of that. I think part of the concern came when I took a role on “The Good Wife” role. I did a couple of those, and I’ll be back for another one. It’s been fun to step aside and work on an another show. Obviously I can’t say anything, but I am pleased to see that fans are concerned, which means they like my character. That’s always flattering and not a bad thing for your boss to hear.

With Peter attempting a career comeback, the Florrick kids are poised to become more involved in politics, though one of them is nearly taken in by dirty tricksters in the season premiere. “My character is starting to get really interested politically, as far as Peter’s whole campaign,” says Graham Phillips, who plays 14-year-old Zach Florrick. “I think that is going to be really fun for me to get more involved with that.”

While Chris Noth’s character in “The Good Wife” is a confirmed philanderer, he doesn’t think it necessarily makes him “The Bad Husband” — or at least shouldn’t bear sole responsibility for his marital difficulties. “Whatever reasons that he strayed also are in that union, that marriage,” Noth says. “It’s his fault for doing that, maybe, but how did it start? We don’t know, we haven’t explored that. What’s missing in that to make him go do that? That hasn’t been explored, and it may or may not be. But I wouldn’t put much emphasis on the words ‘good’ or ‘bad.’”

The Good Wife is about to poke a little fun at The Social Network. A meta-ish episode of the CBS legal drama slated to air in February will revolve around Patric, a “sincere, shy, and unremarkable suburban kid in sandals and a hoodie” whose website has made him a fortune. The problem? The billionaire wunderkind is upset about his depiction in a movie about his life, and he’s suing the producers for defamation. Intent on restoring his good name and reputation, Patric hires Will (Josh Charles) to represent him. The role is currently being cast. Interested actors should be in their mid 20s and, presumably, bear at least a passing resemblance to Mark Zuckerberg.

Rachel Hilson, a 15-year-old sophomore at the Baltimore School for the Arts, has landed a recurring role on "The Good Wife," the CBS hit drama now in its second season. She debuts Tuesday as Nisa, a study partner and love interest for Zach Florrick (played by Graham Phillips), the teenage son of Alicia Florrick (played by Julianna Margulies). Hilson has already shot three episodes and just got word this week that she'll be shooting a fourth. Quite a big break for a young actress whose other credits are more along the lines of lower-school plays at McDonogh.

The Good Wife is adding a third private eye to its payroll. Tim Guinee — a.k.a. Gillian's cocaine addict ex on Lie to Me — has been cast in the potentially recurring role of Wiley, an investigator working for the State's Attorney's office. Wiley (who debuts in early '11) agrees to do a little reconnaissance for now-prosecutor Cary (Matt Czuchry) and hits pay dirt. It's unclear if Guinee will get mixed up in the psychological war currently playing out between Kalinda (Archie Punjabi) and Blake (Scott Porter), the feuding in-house private investigators at Lockhart Gardner and Bond.

The legal ranks are about to get a lot more impressive on CBS’ The Good Wife. EW has learned exclusively that Rita Wilson (It’s Complicated) and F. Murray Abraham (Amadeus) will guest star in a February episode that’s inspired by The Social Network and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. The episode focuses on a junior genius who launched a successful website that prompts a big movie about his life. He ends up suing the producers for defamation, however, because he’s not happy with the results. Abraham — last seen depicting a professor on HBO’s Bored to Death — will play Burl, the head attorney at a film conglomerate. Smug but friendly, he represents the studio in the lawsuit. Wilson, meanwhile, will play Viola, a top-of-her field lawyer. Though botoxed to the max, she brims with power and self-confidence and is an old friend of Diane (Christine Baranski), who asks for her help with a case. Wilson also recently appeared in Old Dogs and My Life in Ruins.

Dallas Roberts, who plays Alicia's brother, Owen, will be back for two more episodes this season. So will fans ever get to meet Alicia and Owen's much-discussed mother? "We're torn on that because we don't want to do the stunt casting for the mom. If we did do it, it might be in the realm of not some high-profile actress, but someone who is very real," King said.

That’s what The Good Wife star Julianna Margulies told reporters last week at a panel for the show during TCA Winter Press Tour. Margulies was joined by creators Robert and Michelle King, who spoke about the complexities and gray areas that make the CBS show feel more like a cable drama. After the panel (check out my recap here) the Kings spoke further with a small group of reporters, including myself, about who’s coming back, Scott Porter’s future on the show, whether Alicia has to be a wife, trading titles with Cougar Town, and the show’s interesting mix of religion and politics.
