Katie Holmes will appear on How I Met Your Mother
Katie Holmes is the Slutty Pumpkin!
Okay, if you're not a fan of
How I Met Your Mother, that sentence won't make a lot of sense - but for those in the know, it's huge news.
The former
Dawson's Creek actress has signed on to play the character first referenced early on in the show's first season — a mysterious potential love interest that Ted (
Josh Radnor) met at a Halloween party one year but then lost touch with.
Earlier this month, creators
Craig Thomas and
Carter Bays revealed that the character would finally be unmasked but have only just revealed that Katie would be playing the role.
"Katie is a lovely and talented actress, which is why we've saved for her perhaps the most classily named character in our show’s history," says Craig.
Could Katie be revealed as the mother we've waited seven season's to meet?
