Actress Hilarie Burton has been cast in a six-episode arc as Sara Ellis, an insurance investigator-slash-white collar bounty hunter.

"...Specifically, Burton has been cast in a six-episode arc as Sara Ellis, an insurance investigator-slash-white collar bounty hunter who has a bit of a score to settle with Neal. Yeah, it turns out that before he got thrown behind bars, Neal stymied her attempt to track down a stolen priceless painting – perhaps having pinched it himself..."

I posted this on the WC News thread, but am giving us a place to discuss this new character in more detail. Six episode arc will give the writers plenty of time to stir all kinds of stuff up

Great idea Alexis26!

This character sounds like fun. It reminds me of Renee Russo in the The Thomas Crown Affair. That turned out to be very entertaining.

Besides, anything that gets the focus off old plastic face Kate works for me.

Ann, get out of my head! I was thinking the same thing! The relationship also reminds me of Isabella and Rusty in Oceans 12.

Why thank you, my friend!

I interrupt this smoochfest to say... j/k

Well I for one am not ready for Neal to settle down just yet, and have advocated for lots of flirting and witty banter in most of my posts

I do like Alex, am not sure what is going on with Kate, but Neal is just the man for the job if it involves keeping up with them and Sara too.

I am not especially thrilled at the idea of a romantic relationship for Neal at this point. Not because I begrudge the main hottie of the show a happy ending, but because it feels waaaay too soon after Kate for him to become romantic with anyone.

I guess we'll have to see how the writers go with the story, and how well the actress does. Just because she's supposed to be in six episodes doesn't necessarily mean she will be. Things get changed all the time in shows. :-D

True, the Lauren Cruz character was supposed to be part of the main cast, and she was in probably half the episodes.

I'm not ready for Neal to settle down either. I like Neal the flirt. I do want him to have romantic interests.

I'd love to see Alex's reaction to a Neal/Sara relationship. Alex did infer in the last episode that she wants to leave the door open between her and Neal. Maybe an episode where Alex 'sets' up Sara and Neal and Peter end up coming to her rescue.

Hillarie's interview with StarryMag.

I really like this Sara...

[Groovy82]

I think sara is starting to grow on me, I"m starting to like her. If her and NEal start something I hope they start it out slowley and not rush it, I hate when they rush things like that.

[Terri88]

I am so so glad Sara showed a softer, nicer side in this episode! I can see why Neal would be attracted to her now...she was just nasty in the other 2 episodes. Plus, it was great to see how much she was enjoying the con and being part of the crew.

I have liked Sara a lot more ever since I read this one interview Hilarie did recently. She talked about why Sara acted the way she did, and I was happy to see that her brittle, self-absorbed (and frankly bratty) demeanor was intentional, and also that it was just the surface. Sort of a defense mechanism, not the real Sara. And nice to read that we would be getting to know the real, and hopefully nicer, person underneath through this season.

And I liked that she softened up in this latest ep. BTW, Peter's look of confusion at a few of Sara's coments was funny - "Nice to see you fully clothed" and "Tell Junior (err... something I can't remember)".

I think it was "tell Junior I'll send him a postcard". Loved she referred to him as Junior in front of Peter. I guess she's going off to Argentina for awhile. Hope not a long time, although that promo scene may be pretty far in the future. Oh boy, over too soon.

I thought we'd see that scene in the promo tonight because one of the reviews said this was her last "credited" appearance. That has to be wrong because there's no way Hilarie Burton shouldn't get "credited" for that scene with Neal.

ETA: Now I'm glad we didn't see that scene. It might have just put me over the edge. The excitement of having White Collar back with such a great episode was enough for one night.

There was the "Thanks for the shotgun wedding" comment she made.
She really made Peter look at Neal oddly throughout.

Oh yeah and the "wonderboy" comment. He said something like "You're getting your superheroes mixed up"

Loved it!
