JOELY RICHARDSON - RICHARDSON BACK FOR FIFTH NIP/TUCK SEASON

British actress JOELY RICHARDSON is set to return to the cast of hit US drama NIP/TUCK after putting her career on hold to care for her sick daughter. The 101 DALMATIANS star temporarily quit the show last year (06) to spend time with her teenage daughter, DAISY, in London. Daisy was diagnosed with circulation problems in her legs when she was born and she has been in and out of hospital recently. Richardson feared she'd have to give up her role in the plastic surgery drama for good, but producers are desperate to have her back. She says, "I never actually left the series. I just needed time out for a personal reason, which they very kindly gave me and it was just three episodes... It wasn't a dramatic exit on any level. "I'm definitely contracted for a fifth season of the show. We're just talking about it now."
