'Three Rivers', 'Forgotten' cast leads

Heather Stephens has joined the cast of ABC's The Forgotten, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

She will take over the role of Lindsay, who is left to care for her baby after her husband is jailed for an unknown crime. The part was originally played by Lost's Reiko Aylesworth, before she dropped out earlier this year.

Additionally, Alfre Woodard has been tapped as a lead on CBS' new medical drama Three Rivers. She will replace Julia Ormond, who was cast as the head of surgery at Three Rivers Hospital in the pilot.

Three Rivers is due to premiere on Sunday, October 4 on CBS, while ABC's The Forgotten is slated to begin on Tuesday, September 22.
