She spoke about it with TV Guide this week and gave readers an idea of what's ahead on this USA summer hit...

On the addition of Anastasia Griffith (as Dr. Emily Peck) to the cast: She's going to bring big trouble, and Divya's defenses go up heavily for very good reason. Emily could be causing problems for HankMed, and Divya senses that earlier than the boys do.

Check out some photos of the upcoming episode of ROYAL PAINS titled "Keeping the Faith" which airs on Thursday June 17, 2010 (10-11:30 p.m. ET) on USA Network.

Episode Synopsis: When the star of a popular film franchise collapses, Hank discovers his patient's illness is caused by the very thing that's made him famous. Meanwhile, Eddie surprises Hank and Evanwith the news he's staying in the Hamptons.

"Royal Pains" will follow Hank as he discovers his patient's illness is caused by the very thing that's made him famous. Meanwhile, Eddie surprises Hank and Evan with the news he's staying in the Hamptons.

Royal Pains 2.03 will be aired on June 17.

And I'm happy to report that this episode seemed to gel a lot better than the season 2 premiere: the rapport between Hank and Evan was strong and snappy, Christine Ebersole made a welcome return as the wealthy and surgically addicted Ms. Newberg, and we got a special treat of a guest star in '24' fixture Mary Lynn Rajskub.

Rajskub played Blake, Ms. Newberg's stepdaughter who gave up meat and dropped out of culinary school in Lyon to live the life of an ascetic in San Francisco after falling for a hot young yogi named Jamie. Trouble was, she was also falling in all the wrong places -- first at Ms. Newberg's shindig, and then while attempting some balancing moves. While Blake tried to shoo away the bobbles with wryly funny excuses like "I'm suffering from a condition known as 'complete lack of coordination,' and I've had it since birth," both Hank and Divya had their doubts, and insisted that Blake be strapped to a very uncool heart monitor.

Turned out it wasn't her age or her lack of bendiness that was causing her palpitations: it was her heart. Jamie turned out to be as awful as that gluten-free casserole Blake was trying to make, because he didn't have the soy balls to break up with her in person. Instead, holistic boy did it via (gasp!) text message and tried to cloak it in some ying-yang nonsense. (No one treats Chloe that way and gets away with it!) Just goes to show that one should never give up baked goods for anyone.

Meanwhile, Mary Lynn Rajskub, who wrapped her small-screen gig as world-saving CTU techie Chloe O'Brian only a few weeks ago, got back in touch with her lighter side as Brooke, a neurotic aspiring chef whose heart was almost literally broken by a yoga teacher. Now that Eddie has hooked up with Brooke's wealthy stepmom (Christine Ebersole), Winkler will be sticking around for a while, and one can only hope Rajskub will return as well.

With such inspired guest casting, Royal Pains seems in no danger of jumping the proverbial shark anytime soon.

Henry Winkler joins the cast of USA's "Royal Pains" on Thursday (June 10) in the recurring role of Hank (Mark Feurstein) and Evan's (Paulo Costanzo) scam artist dad, Eddie Lawson.

We're definitely excited to see Henry "the Fonz" Winkler in USA's hit show -- and we're not the only ones. TV son Mark Feurstein recently told Zap2it's Korbi TV, "I love having the Fonz as my dad.... I worshipped the Fonz growing up."

Even after over a quarter century has passed since Winkler played the role of Arthur Fonzarelli, many (like his "Royal Pains" co-star) still know him as "the Fonz." Perhaps that's because most folks don't know what exactly he's been up to since his iconic role on "Happy Days." So ... we thought we'd take a closer look into Winkler's post-"Happy Days" (1974 - 1984), pre-"Royal Pains" (2010) days to answer the burning question: where in the world was Winkler for the past 26 years?

Coming off a season premiere to which we gave four stars, Royal Pains will air a new episode on Thursday, June 10.

Titled "Lovesick," the hour will focus on Divya's attempt to add romance to her relationship with Raj. It will also feature a pair of major guest stars:

Henry Winkler as Hank and Evan's father; and Mary Lynn Rajskub as Newberg's stepdaughter. Check out both these actors in their roles below, followed by the official USA preview for "Lovesick."

We've officially hit the summer TV season, Squadders. And what could be better for these warm nights than the second season of the USA Network's 'Royal Pains'? This show is a perfect prescription for the summer: It's like a tasty treat that's super lite, fun and easy to consume, but with enough brainy medical terminology to ensure not too many brain cells are lost while enjoying that Hamptons breeze.

To catch up: Prominent New York doctor Hank Lawson (the always-affable Mark Feuerstein), blackballed in Manhattan after a billionaire trustee died on his watch, finds a second life as an in-demand concierge doctor in the Hamptons.

Season 2's first episode was all about relationships, fathers and sons and being caught between a rock and a hard place.

Really, it was all about 'Spasticity.' As in Spencer the Spaz, that guy from the infomercials (played by Kyle Bornheimer, aka that guy from all the sitcoms). And also as in giving family members some slack.
