Peter Facinelli's new character suffers from sexual Tourette's Syndrome

Peter Facinelli, our favorite Doctor Carlisle, is on board to play another doctor, Dr. Cooper, in the Showtime original series "Nurse Jackie."

Amanda at the Twilight Examiner has the whole scoop:

Facinelli stated that his character longs for the approval of Nurse Jackie, and that he suffers from quite the condition - sexual Tourette's Syndrome. In the preview, whilst Nurse Jackie puts Dr. Cooper in his place, he can't help but reach out and put his hand upon her mammory gifts. Says Facinelli, Dr. Cooper's sexual tick only comes out when he is nervous and stressed - a condition that the bull-headed and feverish Nurse Jackie tends to put him in on numerous occasions.

Nurse Jackie will premiere sometime in 2009- stay tuned!
