Finally, after a long draught of “Big Love” news, we have a scoop from TVGuide’s Michael Ausiello on the upcoming season. (Warning, potential spoilers)

The show is casting two, er, Big roles. First up is Ray Henry, Nicki’s boss at the law firm and the (contradiction alert!) good-guy lawyer who’s prosecuting the Roman Grant rape case. Even juicier is the character of Bill’s half-brother, Franky, a 16-year-old hottie who was bounced from Juniper Creek for macking on an elder’s intended. Not enough for ya? This season, you’ll also meet Jerry Flute, a Native-American power player who pow-wows with Bill and Don (odds are he’s opposed to the idea of the casino they intend to build on Blackfoot turf), and Rob O’Hare, a neighbor who doesn’t subscribe to the “Sharing is caring!” approach to marriage that Bill’s wives do.

I worry that the show will get to far from the family dynamics that made it so good, and move toward more of the standard TV drama. Season 1 was the best in my opinion, and I didn’t care for some of the late season 2 developments. That being said, “Big Love” is still my favorite TV drama because the characters are the most complex and developed on television.

I know that you’re hungry for more “Big Love”, but maybe this delay will allow them to produce the best season ever. Maybe?
