It was revealed back in May that Sarah Connor Chronicles star Summer Glau was heading for the second season of Joss Whedon's Dollhouse, but now it seems that she won't be an 'active' in the show after all.

Instead Glau will play Bennett, an employee at the Dollhouse who seems to know a great deal about the past of Eliza Dushku's Echo.

With a guest spot in Angel and a regular slot in Firefly, Glau is a Whedon favourite, and one wonders if she might not have been a major feature of Dollhouse before now if the sadly-terminated Sarah Connor Chronicles hadn't got in the way.
