Marlee Matlin in final season of "The L Word?"

A little tidbit from E! online that says Academy Award-winning deaf actress Marlee Matlin may return for the final and sixth season of Showtime's "The L Word." The final season will air in 2009.

(Spoiler alert if you haven't seen last season.) Surprising to say the least, because Season 5 ended with a really messy and vindictive breakup between Matlin's Jodi Lerner character, who was in a relationship Jennifer Beals' Bette Porter character.

Here's what Beals herself revealed to E!:


"We actually have a whole dance sequence that's coming up, which ought to be really fascinating." Beals said that it's actually Marlee Matlin, fresh off of her run on Dancing With the Stars, who will take center stage. When asked if we should expect a Flashdance flashback for Jennifer, she said: "No! There are no buckets of water involved."
