Susan Lucci to Make Return Appearance on TV Land's HOT IN CLEVELAND

As first reported on TVLine.com, soap star Susan Lucci will once again be guest starring on an upcoming episode of TV Land's HOT IN CLEVELAND.  On the show, the soap diva will play an exaggerated version of herself.  

Also set to appear in the episode of the comedy will be actor Ryan McPartlin from the series 'Chuck'. While it is unclear what role McPartlin will play in the episode, he will reportedly interact with Lucci in the show's storyline. 

Season 3 of TV Land's HOT IN CLEVELAND kicked off last night, November 30th.  The story centers around Elka Ostrovsky (actress Betty White), a widower in her late 80s, who has been a caretaker of the Cleveland home the L.A. ladies rent for 50 years - ever since she lost her husband. She lives in the guest cottage in the back, and often has the scent of an illegal substance on her. Elka was born in Poland, where she escaped from the Nazis and finally found her way to Cleveland. Opinionated and outspoken, Elka instantly dislikes Joy, perhaps because they have similar personalities. She cooks for the ladies, who are used to healthy, organic foods and now find themselves in the land of cheese fries. She re-enters the dating game once the women move in and is loving it.
