We finally have our first look at Vanessa Williams, who will be playing the part of Courtney Boalt, from an upcoming episode of The Good Wife.

'Eli's Head To Explode' In Season 7, Alan Cumming Dishes

The actress will be stirring things up in Peter Forrick's (Chris Noth) offices, particularly when it comes to Eli (Alan Cumming). In the still she is seen interacting with Eli. This will be most likely be the beginning of when sparks start to fly. Boalt will be playing his romantic interest. She will make her first appearance in an episode, titled Driven, set to air on November 15.

Here's the official synopsis for the episode:

Could Hillary Clinton Guest Star In An Upcoming Episode?

"Alicia and Lucca join a case involving an automotive executive represented by Lockhart, Agos & Lee, and an employee represented by Louis Canning, who was involved in a crippling accident while test-driving a car operating in "driverless" mode. Also, when Ruth and Eli pursue Courtney Boalt (Vanessa Williams), a potential campaign contributor, Peter moves back in with Alicia to present a united family image."

When BBC reported that actress joining the show, her character was described as a "successful, self-made businesswoman." The showrunners, Robert and Michelle King, revealed that they "couldn't be more excited" about the addition. The involvement with Eli will be made possible becasue Boalt is expected to be supporting Peter Florrick's (Chris Noth) campaign. We hope she serenades him at some point.

The Kings expressed their excitement at this new pairing on the show via a statement from CBS making the announcement of Williams' joining.

"There are very few names you can put side-by-side that make you laugh," they said. "Alan Cumming and Vanessa Williams are at the top of that list."

The next episode, titled 'Payback', is set to air on Nov. 1.
