Brooke Shields has joined the upcoming seventh season of Lifetime’s drama series Army Wives as a recurring. She will play brash and brilliant Air Force Colonel Katherine “Kat” Young. A crack C-17 pilot who can hold her own in the boys’ club atmosphere of the military, she’s hardly touched down in her new assignment at Joint Base Marshall Bring before she clashes with Army General Michael Holden (Brian McNamara). Never one to step away from a fight, Kat is a fierce advocate for the Air Force as she and Holden jockey for their respective branches at the highest levels of power on base. Only after their initial skirmishes does Holden learn of Kat’s tragic past, discovering they have more in common than he thought.
Veteran Army Wives is getting a revamp heading into Season 7, which premieres on March 10. The series, about the struggles, dreams and friendships of a diverse group of women – and one man – living with their spouses and families on an active Army post, is adding three actresses as new regulars — Ashanti, Torrey DeVitto and Elle McLemore — as original cast member member Kim Delaney is departing and Sally Pressman and Sterling K. Brown are scaling back from series regulars to recurring. In addition to her starring role on NBC’s Suddenly Susan and Lipstick Jungle, Shields has done arcs on That ’70s Show, Hannah Montana, Nip/Tuck and, most recently, The Middle.

Cool, she’ll be a good addition. I love this show!
Looks like a Jump the Shark moment here for this program.
That’s awesome!
Great news! I just love her…
They couldn’t afford to keep the original Wives….but there’s money to force Brooke Shields into the cast?
No Claudia-Joy means no Army Wives.
she seems to not last on any show for very long she always leaves
I totally agree!!!!!
Are any of the original wives coming back???
I won’t be watching no one from the original cast is on & not a fan of Brooke Shields. sorry
So excited army wives hit to close to home for my family me and my girls watch it together and it brings joy into our life
Kim Delaney…leaving another show, expected..she never stays long.
Can’t wait for new series.
I thought ‘Army Wives’ was finished…
Ohh i also heard Jesse McCartney Is joining Army Wives too! Im going to miss Roxy Trevor T.J and Finn!
I don’t think this is a good move. This show is about Army Wives. If all the other wives are going to have less appearances on the show, it will no long be Army Wives. Added an Air Force female Pilot is getting away from what the show has been all about. I think it might be time for me to jump ship on this one. I have not missed an episode of this show, but with the reformatting this program, I may not stay a loyal viewer. I am not at all happy about this move.
Love, love the show, I am just not a fan of Brooke Shields AT ALL. not sure if I’m going to like this or not
Looks like this new season brings about many changes. I am cautiously looking forward to this.
Its sad that situations bring change, however thats what life is all about. I hope the new cast can carry this show as well as the original. I for one am going to give them a shot. Can’t wait for March 10th.
this is my all time favorite show ever !I really am going to miss Claudia Joy and Roxy though but I’m with you I’
This is my all time favorite show ever I really am going to miss Claudia Joy and Roxy though but I’m with you I’m going to watch to see what happens I really hope the changes don’t ruin it I really hope they can pull it off!
They should have a two-hour movie and just end the show. I’ve watched from the beginning and you can just tell it’s not going to be the same, as the original cast members are either bowing out or cutting back completely. There was really something special about the original ensemble of actors. AND it’s now officially Jumped the Shark. I won’t be watching, Lifetime! …Oh, and can you puh-leeez rescind the cancellation of Drop Dead Diva!!! sheesh!
They cancelled Drop Dead Diva??!!! I loved that show!
Happy to see Brooke Shields join… I like her…but I have to admit there are too many changes. It’s not the same show at all. All our normal Army Wives are gone or diminishing. The show was about their bond and that is what kept it going. I’ll watch and see how it all plays out but I’m not too excited. Every since Pamela and Chase left the show it’s not the same and just keeps changing. These are the people who made the show what it was…Pamela, Roxy, Rollin and Claudia Joy! (Denise too but she isn’t leaving….geez, I hope!)
Not happy..not happy at all.
I want claudia joy back
So do I. The show has not been the same since they wrote her out. I have been a faithful watchers since thw beginning. I’m sorry to say the interest is no longer there. I want them to go back to the original cast were every show brought tears to your eyes and had meaning. I am so terribly disappointed in the new format, especially adding B.Shields
I agree bring Claudia Joy back, bring them all back, I love the original cast… they make the show what it is.. new characters could ruin it!!!
How are they writing out Kim Delaney?
I fully understand that the characters will move on just as they do in real life military but I hope it finds a way to continue strong friendships with the new cast that we have become fond of.
I agree with you about Army Wived. I didn’t know about the DDD cancellation. It did get a bit sidetracked last season, but I still liked the show and was looking forward to a new season. This is at least the 3rd AW revamp, are ratings really that good?
Oh well glad we have some new shows coming up to fill the holes. These days it seems like TV Networks assume that every viewer has a short attention span and as of late they are playing into that theory even more. They have gotten very sloppy with cancellation decisions IMHO so if my attention span is short they made it that way. I used to be a loyal viewer but they created someone who watches every new show with trepidation. I don’t give it my all because the odds of non-renewal or flat out cancellation mid season is very high. More dramas are getting replaced with sitcoms and reality TV shows. (Example: Fox networks celebrity diving show. Really!?!)
Hate to say it but I look forward to the original dramas created by Starz, HBO, Showtime, and Cinemax more than the Network shows of Fox, NBC, ABC. I think the odds are better that they will at least get a 2nd season. I didn’t include CBS because to me they seem to do a better job with programming, placement and advertising so that even shows that may have likely been cancelled had they premiered on the other Networks are block buster thriving, i.e.: Elementary, Person of Interest, Hawaii 5-0. Even if I don’t watch NCIS, which I don’t, I feel like I want too. Not knocking NCIS.
AMC surprisingly has decided to bring back The Killing which was a great decision because I can fill in another hole from a cancelled fav show. Will remain in their corner until they give Walking Dead the boot.
Lifetime does at least give its original shows a fighting chance. DDD had a nice 4 season run. RIP Drop Dead Diva. I thought ratings were solid? Who knew. Guess they had to pay for Brooke Shields somehow.
Sorry for the extraneous soap box commentary.
What is up with this? Why ruin a good thing? Lifetime you have a good format and loyal viewers what exactly is the problem?!! Also, it really hasn’t been on that long to need refreshing. What is up with these excutives!
I am not a Brooke Shields fan but will give this season a try since I’ve been a loyal fan of the show since the start.
Bad decision
So sad..after you watch a show for so long, the actors seem to become like family to you. Taking the favorites off this show is so depressing..it definetly wont be the same.
