Yep, Katie will be back on the boob tube. I guess the big screen didn’t really work out for her. Let’s face it she can’t really act. (Shout out to the Katie obsessed fans out there…admit it, you know it’s true.) :p
She will play as a lawyer and will sing and dance on an episode of Eli Stone. Here is an article from USA Today:
As a show and a character, ABC’s Eli Stone is back from the dead. And coming along to boost the long-term chances of survival? Guest star Katie Holmes.
It’s a reunion of sorts for Holmes and Eli producer Greg Berlanti, who worked together on Dawson’s Creek. “We really wanted to bring eyeballs to the show and do anything we could to get people talking about the show,” says Berlanti. “So I went and I begged her.”
Holmes will appear in the new season’s second episode (scheduled for October 21) as an attorney — though, says Berlanti, she won’t be practicing law. “She’s doing a lot of work in the episode, she’s in a significant part of the episode … She’s an incredible actress and a good friend.”
And yes, he says, like most of the characters on this fantasy/drama/musical, “she’s singing and dancing.”
From ABC’s standpoint, the value of going Holmes is fairly obvious. “For a show we believe had a tough loss from the strike,” says ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson, “it helps with promotion.”
So what about star Jonny Lee Miller’s ex-wife Angelina Jolie, a reporter asked — would she ever do a guest shot? “You’d have to ask her, I’m afraid,” says Miller.
As for the status of show’s primary musical vision, George Michael, Berlanti says they’re trying to fit a guest shot into his schedule. “He really wants to come back…we’ve been talking about a possible Christmas episode he would do.”
Stone’’s season ended with Eli having brain surgery, which was meant to resolve whether his visions were from God or the result of an aneurysm. So, which was it? “We’ll resolve pretty definitively whether Eli believes he’s a prophet or not,” says producer Marc Guggenheim.
Don’t panic. He’s choosing prophet.

Here’s a press release from ABC.
“I Want Your Sex” – When a teenaged girl is expelled for playing George Michael’s “I Want Your Sex” during an abstinence education assembly at school, the pop superstar (playing himself) retains Eli’s legal counsel on the girl’s behalf, THURSDAY, MARCH 27 (10:02-11:00 p.m., ET), on ABC’s “Eli Stone.” Jordan coyly assigns himself to the case alongside Eli, failing miserably to hide his obsessive adoration for the singer. A vision motivates Eli to go on his first date since his engagement broke off… with Beth Keller, the girl to whom he lost his virginity and who harbors a shocking secret about Eli’s brother, Nathan. Meanwhile, Taylor and Matt get a little closer when they’re assigned to work together on a case representing a judge ailing from cancer suing the man who refuses to donate his bone marrow — the judge’s estranged son.
“Eli Stone” stars Jonny Lee Miller as Eli Stone, Victor Garber as Jordan Wethersby, Natasha Henstridge as Taylor Wethersby, Loretta Devine as Patti, Sam Jaeger as Matt Dowd, James Saito as Dr. Chen, Matt Letscher as Nathan Stone and Julie Gonzalo as Maggie.
Guest stars include George Michael as himself, Laura Benanti as Beth Keller, Brooke Nevin as Molly Foster, Ethan Phillips as Principal Ackerman, Jim Rash as Bradley Kitsis, Bill Smitrovich as Judge Oliver Doyle, Claire Carey as Sadie Abrams, David Burke as Alvin Berg, Ajay Mehta as Dr. Sanjay Rajapaksa, Marry-Pat Green as Judge Joyce Abramovich and Charlie Hofheimer as Scott Miller.

Eli is shaken - literally — by his latest vision: The “Big One” hitting San Francisco. With Dr. Chen’s help, he realizes that the epicenter of the quake is the neighborhood Eli’s client is trying to evict in order to turn the area into a shopping mall. Eli realizes that the only way to save these people is to help his client kick them out of their homes. And with the stakes this high, Eli is willing to do whatever it takes — including bribing a judge.

Here is an Eli Stone press release from ABC.
A FIRE-BREATHING DRAGON IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF ELI’S PROBLEMS, ON ABC’S “ELI STONE”
“Heal the Pain” - THURSDAY, MARCH 13 (10:02-11:00 p.m., ET), on ABC’s “Eli Stone,” Eli adjusts to his new position at the law firm without an office, a secretary or the ability to try cases himself — all in the same week that he’s being chased by a fire-breathing dragon. The dragon fly-bys prompt him to take the case of a 15-year-old boy whose mother was killed by the medical malpractice of a DR. AGON. Unfortunately, Agon used to work at the same hospital where Eli’s brother, Nathan, is employed — the hospital that Eli must sue. Making matters even worse is the fact that Jordan assigns Maggie as lead counsel and Eli has to follow her instructions. The roll-reversal, ironically, brings them closer together — a fact not lost on Taylor, who tries to reconcile with Eli through a surprisingly live performance by none other than… special guest star George Michael.
