Nana Visitor to return to Family Guy in 2013

Although Valentine’s Day is still several months away, the folks behind FOX’s animated series Family Guy are already in a romantic state of mind according to EW. They recently announced that their Valentine’s Day episode will feature a gaggle of Brian’s ex-girlfriends, including Rita who is voiced by Nana Visitor.

In the episode, Brian ends up dateless on the Most Romantic Night Of The Year, so Stewie takes charge:

“Stewie gathers scores of Brian’s former girlfriends to get to the bottom of why he’s unsuccessful in love,” exec producer Mark Hentemann tells EW. “The women are not reluctant to point out Brian’s flaws, and have a great time doing so.”

Other returning exes include Drew Barrymore (as Jillian), Jessica Biel (Brooke), Nicole Sullivan (Tina), Cheryl Tiegs (Cheryl Tiegs), Jessica Stroup (Denise), Julie Hagerty (Carol), Kat Foster (Carolyn). Family Guy kicks off its 11th season on September 30 with this episode, titled “Valentine’s Day in Quahog”, set to air in early 2013. Nana previously appeared as Rita in “Brian’s Got A Brand New Bag.”
