Lauren German Joins Hawaii Five-0 Team

TVLine is reporting that when Hawaii Five-0 returns in the fall, it will have a new team member. Lauren German joins the cast as a new member of 5-0 and possible love interest for Steve:

The Hawaii Five-0 team will be saying “Aloha” to a new member — and McGarrett a possible new love interest — with the addition of Happy Townalumna Lauren German to the CBS drama’s cast.

German, TVLine has learned exclusively, is boarding the sophomore thrill ride in the series regular role of a smart and beautiful former Homeland Security officer who has been hand-picked to join the Five-0 task force.

Forced into McGarrett’s elite ensemble, German’s character will not just help them fight crime, but also keep them in check on behalf of the Gov. And, as hinted above, she is poised to also serve as a potential love interest for Alex O’Loughlin’s McGarrett.

She is the latest addition to the show following news that Terry O'quinn has joined for a recurring role. I was kind of hoping Larisa Oleynik would stick around and join the team. Her character grew on me.
