In fictional relationship news that is more interesting than relationship news regarding people you actually know, Parks And Recreation plans on introducing yet another obstacle to the romance between Amy Poehler’s Leslie and Adam Scott’s Ben—or reintroducing, rather. TV Line reports that Louis C.K. is set to reprise his role as Leslie's ex, police officer Dave Sanderson, who will return to Pawnee after taking that job in San Diego and disappearing way back in season two. Presumably having Dave back in the mix (if only for a single, early 2012 episode) will make Ben act very amusingly awkward indeed, considering meeting the ex is always uncomfortable, plus his character’s demonstrated nervousness around Dave’s former cop buddies. And what sort of relationship news did your friends have today? Probably nothing that would make for an entertaining television show, that’s what.
