Phillip James Brannon is returning as Mary’s Husband during Kumail’s week off.
He was great with Betty and outshined Tituss when I saw him. You’re in good hands!

That's a change. Martin Landry was originally covering the role for the week. Also makes me wonder if he'll rejoin the show when Jane comes in.

I can see him coming back for Hannah’s 2 weeks, but there will be a new Abe with Jane

Details are being finalized. Announcement forthcoming in a few weeks. Nothing else I can discuss.

Anyone exciting, or is the casting pretty expected?
Finalized? They start rehearsals in another week.
Are they really doing 4 weeks of rehearsal? I thought the current cast got 2 weeks.

I think with regard to casting in this show, there is no such thing as “expected” and the general consensus when someone is cast is usually “YAAASSSS” or “I didn’t even think of them - sounds interesting”. They are older than previous Abes - but there is very little else I can say.

Older you say? Alec Baldwin would slay as Lincoln. We already know he has impeccable timing, as well as chemistry with Miss Jane.

He's 89 -- so I doubt it.
Jack McBrayer as Abe would be great

Well, Krakowski will be the oldest performer to play Mary thus far, so it would make sense to pair her with someone a little older, as well.

He'd be more fitting as Mary's Teacher given Booth pulls the trigger

Krakowski is 29 years old. Literally the youngest Mary yet. Please delete your slander.

Ha. Ha. Although he has the stamina where he could do a cameo as Bill the Bartender. That would be cool as hell.
