Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon star Peter Facinelli, who has just joined the cast of an exciting new film called The Absinthe Drinkers (see here), is signed on to bring us yet another "doctor" to love this year.
Facinelli, who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the Twilight series, has recently been quoted to say that he would've loved a part in a series like the BBC's Dr. Who. Well, it appears, he has taken an even more interesting part.
Showtime, responsible for such hit shows as Weeds, Californication, The United States of Tara, Dexter, The Tudors, and The L Word, is adding Peter Facinelli to its list of on-staff talent. Playing Dr. Cooper in the new series Nurse Jackie, Facinelli will be joined by none other than the fabulous The Sopranos long-timer Edie Falco (the lovely and enduring Carmela Soprano).

Nurse Jackie is a drug-addict who knows her stuff as she goes to all extremes to do her job, including putting the likes of Dr. Cooper in his place by telling him to get out of her way. "God make me good," says Nurse Jackie, "but not right now."
Facinelli stated that his character longs for the approval of Nurse Jackie, and that he suffers from quite the condition - sexual Tourette's Syndrome. In the preview, whilst Nurse Jackie puts Dr. Cooper in his place, he can't help but reach out and put his hand upon her mammory gifts. Says Facinelli, Dr. Cooper's sexual tick only comes out when he is nervous and stressed - a condition that the bull-headed and feverish Nurse Jackie tends to put him in on numerous occasions.
The series, which looks to be exotic, exciting, and action-packed, promises to be quite different than most medical/hospital dramas we've yet to see. Instead of the nurse being a part of the hospital, the hospital is part of the nurse as she is the focal point of the series.
With great talent like Edie and Peter on board, Nurse Jackie is sure to be yet another Showtime original classic.
