Katie Holmes is coming back to TV - and yes, there's a Dawson's Creek connection.

The actress and wife of Tom Cruise will guest star as a nonprofit lawyer in one episode of the legal dramedy Eli Stone, ABC publicist Aime Wolfe told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Entertainment Weekly reported Wednesday on its website that Holmes was to appear in the show's second season. That means the 29-year-old star will work again with show creator Greg Berlanti, who was a writer-producer for the teen drama Dawson's Creek, which starred Holmes as tomboy Joey Potter.

Holmes will make her Broadway debut September 18 in a revival of Arthur Miller's All My Sons.

The production, which also stars John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest and Patrick Wilson, officially opens October 16 at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre for a limited engagement through January 11.
