HOLY Moses – TV’s “Alice” will celebrate Passover on “The O.C.“
Linda Lavin will guest-star on next week’s episode of the hot prime-time soap as Sophie Cohen, mother of Sandy Cohen (Peter Gallagher) and grandmom (or “Nana,” as she’s called on the show) of Sandy’s son, Seth (Adam Brady).
The Jewish holiday-themed episode airs Wednesday, March 31, at 9 p.m. on Fox/Ch. 5. (The eight-day celebration of Passover starts the following Monday evening, April 5).
According to Fox, sultry Summer (Rachel Bilson) – Seth’s girlfriend – tries to get on Nana’s good side by pitching in to help prepare the Passover meal.
But Nana delivers a piece of news that rocks the holiday celebration.
Lavin, 66, first gained fame in the title role of “Alice” (1976-85), the sitcom adapted from the movie “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore” (1974).
