Lisa Edelstein (“House,” “The Good Doctor”) has joined the cast of FOX’s “9-1-1 Lone Star” as the ex-wife of the fire captain played by the series’ star Rob Lowe. Plus it’s a reunion: Edelstein also played Lowe’s love interest on the first season of “The West Wing.”

Edelstein fills the leading lady void left by Liv Tyler, who decided not to return for the second season. In the storyline, her character, Gwyneth, will arrive in Austin from New York City to be with her son (Ronen Rubinstein), who is in the hospital after being shot at the end of Season One. 

Edelstein is also continuing her in role on “The Kominsky Method” as  Phoebe, the estranged daughter of Alan Arkin’s character Norman, despite Arkin’s just-announced departure from the show.
