“Drop Dead Diva” will be opening up its upcoming sixth (and final) season on Lifetime with some grace.
Dancer and choreographer Stephen Boss AKA tWitch will be guest starring on the two-hour Season 6 premiere on March 23 at 9/8c, TheWrap has learned.
Boss will play Billy Donaldson. Billy’s younger brother (played by “One Life to Live’s” Corbin Bleu) was arrested for arson and murder eight years previously. Billy hires Jane (Brooke Elliott) to help get her brother out of jail. But, Jane’s investigation into the cold case digs up some startling evidence.
