Phillips appears in the show's pilot as Lucy, a woman who gets pregnant after a romantic encounter with lead character Jimmy (Lucas Neff). Jimmy is forced to take care of the baby because Lucy is in prison.
Garcia has now told TV Guide that Phillips will reprise her role later in the season.
"She comes back for an episode," he explained. "We shot it last week and it was very funny."
Garcia also revealed that Lucy was originally meant to be part of the main cast, saying: "We actually had a version where she [stayed], but it kind of felt cleaner for the series if he just go ahead and cut it off. But we love her so we're finding ways to bring her back every once in a while."
Raising Hope premieres on Tuesday at 9/8c on Fox.
