Sure, he cheated on her (and lied about it), but Parenthood fans have been secretly rooting for Jasmine (Joy Bryant) and Crosby (Dax Shepard) to get back together… until the arrival of Jasmine’s new boyfriend, Dr. Joe (D.B. Woodside). “People either say, ‘When are you two getting back together?!’ or ‘Stay with the doctor, girl. He’s hot. He’s a doctor,’” Bryant tells TVGuide.com with a laugh. “It goes both ways.”
On Tuesday’s episode (10/9c, NBC), Crosby and Jasmine must finally face the facts and tell their young son that mommy and daddy aren’t together anymore now that there’s a new man in the picture. Bryant talked with TVGuide.com about how they’ll break the news, Jasmine’s ability to move on and whether she thinks Jasmine and Crosby will ever get back together (brace yourself, fans, it’s not pretty!).
Did you know going into this season that Crosby and Jasmine would still be split up for such a long period of time?
Joy Bryant: I had a sense of that. I didn’t really know where it was going or for how long — if it was going to be forever. But when last season ended, I kind of expected it. “Oh, they’re going to do a little twist, and we’re not going to be together.” I guess that’s kind of how it has to be on TV, giving them a little bit of drama.Beyond the TV reasons for keeping them apart, do you feel it’s natural for Crosby and Jasmine not to be together at this point?
Bryant: Even though I’d love for Jasmine and Crosby to be together, I’m psyched that we’re showing a relationship where the parents aren’t married and raising a kid. It gives us a lot to do. It reflects a lot of parents out there with a similar dynamic. I’m psyched for us to explore that type of interaction when you’re living apart and dating and how that comes into play with your kids. It’s funny because when I go through stuff on the show, I don’t tell anybody what’s going on, but I have a couple friends going through that same dynamic. It’s always weird that whatever I’m filming is what some of my friends are going through.

A Crosby-Jasmine reunion is suddenly looking a lot less likely this season on Parenthood.
Dexter and True Blood alum Courtney Ford is joining NBC’s sublime family drama as a new love interest for Dax Shepard’s bachelor.
Her character, Lily, is an accomplished cello player who starts renting time at Crosby and Adam’s recording studio. Described as down-to-earth and wry-humored, Lily begins to connect with Crosby despite an inauspicious first meeting.
Ford — who last month guest-starred as a comic book nerd on The Big Bang Theory — will debut in January and recur through the remainder of Parenthood‘s way-too-short third season, which concludes on Feb. 28.

Fans of NBC’s ensemble drama “Parenthood” have watched the romance heat up between Sarah Braverman (played by “Gilmore Girls” alum Lauren Graham) and her much younger boyfriend, Mark Cyr (played by Jason Ritter, “Joan of Arcadia”), this season. And despite the fact that the series has more than a dozen main cast members, the duo’s plotline has come front and center now that Sarah’s addict of an ex-husband, Seth (John Corbett), is apparently out of the picture.
Lauren and Jason talked to Yahoo! TV about the show’s third-season “snowball effect,” the fun of being part of such a big cast, and whether they’ve ever done the May-December thing themselves (separately, of course).
How does this season compare with previous ones?
Lauren Graham: I think it’s juicier. I think the third season is kind of a cool time, because, remember, we didn’t have a full first season, so it’s just sort of getting into some of these characters’ complexity, so I like it.
Jason, you came in at the end of the first season. Did it feel weird to join after the show had already gotten started?
Jason Ritter: Well, yeah, it was terrifying.
LG: It was?
JR: Oh, yeah.
LG: Really?
JR: Yeah, because there’s a part of you that just feels like somehow you fooled everybody, and you’re going to get on-set and they’re going to go, “Well, who let this kid in here?” But it was immediately such a wonderful experience. I mean, I felt so welcomed and so put at ease by Lauren.
LG: By who?
JR: By you.
LG: As far as I’m concerned, you’re a series regular, and you always have been, even when you went to go save the world, whatever that was all about. You’re part of this. Jason’s part of this family forever.
Did you know your role would last this long?
JR: I think initially it was supposed to just be three episodes. And then they put me in the season finale of the first season, and that was exciting. And then I started to do “The Event.” But even during “The Event,” they brought me back for an episode in the second season, which was very nice.
LG: But it definitely was not intended to go on this long, and it happened because Jason is so charming and delightful.
