'Scorpion' Season 4 Cast: Shantel VanSanten to Play Toby's Genius Ex-Fiancée
"Shooter" star Shantel VanSanten is the latest addition to CBS' action series "Scorpion." She has been cast as Toby Curtis' (Eddie Kaye Thomas) ex-fiancée, Amy Berkstead.
The character is a brilliant geneticist who Toby met at Harvard while he was in Medical School. They used to be engaged, but she called it off because of Toby's gambling habits and immaturity. Though they are now both married to different people, his beautiful and intelligent ex will still have an effect on him. It goes without saying that her reappearance in Toby's life will affect his marriage to Happy (Jadyn Wong).
To make things worse, Amy married pop-psychologist Quincy Berkstead (Jeff Galfer), who happens to be Toby's nemesis.
