Could it be that after a bumpy start ABC's "Pan Am" is finally headed in the right direction? If the upcoming role of Goran Visnjic is any indication, the answer may just be "Yes."The former "ER" doctor is joining the period drama for four-episode arc starting Sunday (Oct. 23) where he will play an Yugoslavian diplomat who has an affair with CIA agent-in-training Kate (Kelli Garner).
The two meet on a flight to Monte Carlo. Kate's assignment is to befriend Visnjic's character Niko Lonza as a way to get inside a casino. After her mission is complete, they're both smitten and begin to see each other.
But as Visnjic explains, "Things get a little bit more complicated, and we figure out that it wasn't so simple...the CIA and the Yugoslavian Secret Service have much, much more to do with these two than they realize."
It's just this kind of mystery and intrigue Kate's role as a spy has been lacking in the early weeks of the series. Up until now, she's simply acting as an international courier. But this could help bolster interest and ratings for a show that's been languishing in both categories.
Visnjic says his episodes are "kind of like a spy novel...and then the more we progress with their [Kate and Niko's] relationship, we see problems...and then politics come in."
As for how the relationship ends, Visnjic wouldn't say other that to note, "It's got a bit of a sad ending for these two characters. They feel like tragic characters in the end."
Consider our interest piqued.
