Patty Hearst to guest star on Veronica Mars

Kind of tip-toeing up to that spoiler line there I think.

"Heiress Patty Hearst will play the granddaughter of the founder of Hearst College (the fictional university on the show)."

That is casting news, but...

"Patty's character, a member of the Board of Trustees, will mysteriously disappear the night before a big vote regarding the university's future."

That is giving up what will most likely be an important plot point.

And since I am being nitpicky, I think every episode airs during ratings and you probably meant that this episode airs during sweeps.

That is very odd, or oddly appropriate, casting. Frankly, though, I doubt that the larger population of Veronica Mars viewers would even remember who Patty Hearst was.

Wow, That's super weird, because I was just reading an article that mentioned her and her kidnapping. Then I head on over to TV Squad, and there she is agin. lol
