EXCLUSIVE: That was quick — Kelli Williams, who in October was cast a recurring on the upcoming sixth season of the Lifetime drama series Army Wives, has now been made a regular. She plays Jacqueline “Jackie” Clarke, the ambitious wife of 2-star Major General Kevin Clarke. Well-educated, she was born into a well-to-do, politically connected family and was named after Jacqueline Kennedy, a family friend. The Practice alumna Williams, repped by ICM and John Carrabino, most recent co-starred on the Fox drama Lie To Me. In other Army Wives castings, Lawrence Gilliard is joining the series, whose sixth season premieres on March 4, for a five-episode arc.

I couldn’t be happier for Kelli.A lady of her talent deserves to be on television regularly. The Army Wives gain is an aforementioned show’s loss!!!!
Good for her! She is by far one of the nicest women I’ve ever worked with…
Celebrating that Kelli finally has a decent role after the loss of Lie to Me. Cannot wait to see what she does.
*Go Kelli!*
Interesting. The new season of Army Wives got interesting again. I’ve wondered if the series will try a cast change-up to keep it going in the future, especially with the fictional base closing. Adding Williams and some other new talent and keep the best of the current group at a new base might be a good idea.
Kelli deserves any success she gets. She’s a pro and a sweetheart.
OH YES ! I’m so happy for her. That’s for sure a great news. Kelli is so natural, moving and beautiful. She’s definitely a wonderful and straightforward actress. Can’t wait to see her on Army Wives !
SOOOOOO – Ir looks like Season 7 is a go ???? I would be so glad as this is one of our favorites for myself and husband to watch. Love the show – and if some of the cast leaves there has to be a reason Gloris is coming back to take over the HUMP. And the officer seen eating with a lady other than his wife .. this has to lead somewhere. I do not care if they eliminate the gay couple but do enjoy the kids … Roman … etc. I will miss Roxie and her boys. Great Show – Again hopefully it is renewed. The remaining cast are great and I am sure new members will fill the bill. Remember this is the second set of “sons” for Roxie. Also – Keep the dogs!! They are great. Missed seeing them for awhile now. CAN’T WAIT UNTIL THEY CONFIRM # 7 is a reality.
I look forward every week for this show. It has such great writers and personalities. It would be so sad to see it go. I do hope there will be a season seven with some of the current cast. Good shows like this are getting slim.
Thanks to all who made it feel so real and interesting.
