Forget the Clairvoyant. The Cellist is coming!
TV Guide is reporting that Amy Acker will appear in an upcoming episode of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” as Agent Phil Coulson’s (Clark Gregg) former lover, Audrey, who currently believes that he is dead. The report also confirms that Audrey is the Cellist who was mentioned by Coulson in The Avengers and in a few episodes of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” earlier this season.
With Acker currently a series regular on CBS’ “Person of Interest,” it doesn’t seem likely that Audrey will stick around on “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” beyond this appearance. According to the report, Coulson will be protecting Audrey “from a distance as a super-powered threat from her past re-emerges.”
Acker has strong ties to Joss Whedon, the co-creator of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” and the larger Whedonverse. She co-starred in “Angel,” recurred on “Dollhouse” and had roles in both The Cabin in the Woods and Much Ado About Nothing. Acker has also appeared in several genre TV shows, including “Alias,” “Supernatural,” “Happy Town,” “Human Target” and “Warehouse 13.”
Acker’s episode of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” will be shown on April 22.
