Zach Roerig (ex-Casey Hughes, As the World Turns; ex-Hunter, One Life to Live) will be playing the field on Friday Night Lights.  Entertainment Weekly is reporting that the former soapster joins the cast as a love interest for Tyra (Adrianne Palicki) when her relationship with Landry (Jesse Plemons) starts cooling off. 

Friday Night Lights kicks off it's third season on October 1st on DirecTV.  Don't have satellite TV like me?  No worries, NBC will re-air season three in 2009. 

Personal Note: Friday Night Lights is by far one of the best shows on TV and it gets very little recognition.  Even Laura Wright (Carly, General Hospital) is a big fan of the show.  Take the time to check out the DVD's of seaons one and two, I promise it's worth it.
