Maybe you don’t recognize this person, maybe you do.  But he is someone that I always have held near and dear to my heart.  Scott Foley and his wife Marika Dominczyk are expecting their first baby.

Scott used to play Noel on my one of my favorite old shows, Felicity.  I loved this show.  I remember when it first came out I was dating the first boy I ever fell in love with.  We used to talk on the phone while we watched the show.  Felicity dated Noel but she actually wanted Ben.  Eventually, Felicity dumped Noel, breaking his heart, to be with Ben.  I was always rooting for Noel, he was my favorite character on the show, and I always identified myself with him; the boy I loved was actually into one of my friends.  I always loved Scott Foley after that.

 On the show, a new actress named Jennifer Garner (then an virtual unknown) played one of Noel’s girlfriends.  This is where they met and feel in love and they were eventually married.

If you recall, Jen then went on to be a huge hit on star on the show Alias, where she then met Michael Vartan.  At the time, rumors flew that these two were having an affair, which both Jen and Scott denied.  But shortly after Jen and Scott divorced, she went public with her relationship with Michael.  Scott was reportedly devastated after their break up.

Then, Jen went onto to star with Ben Affleck in Daredevil.  At the time Ben was still linked with the other famous Jen, J-Lo, who was reportedly jealous of the sparks that flew between Jen and Ben.  Eventually after the whole Bennifer debacle, Jen split with Michael after her rumored reconnection with Ben.  Hmmm, interesting that Jen seems to have such a sordid past with men.

But I digress…

As for Scott, he went on to star in Scream 3 (heart) and another of my favorite shows, Scrubs.  Oddly, on this show he also plaid a jilted lover, dumped by the character Elliot who is still in love with J.D.   Anyways, my heart was smiling when I read the news of the impending stork arrival.  I always hoped he would find happiness

Congrats to Scott and Marika!
