Sarah Silverman has revealed that she will be returning to the new season of Masters Of Sex after the star made a two episode cameo in the current season.
Speaking about her returning role as Helen - the ex girlfriend of Betty - to the drama which also stars her real life boyfriend Michael Sheen, Sarah told E! News: "I'll be back next season to finish the story up—if I'm allowed."
Having hinted that it wasn't concrete, Sarah then joked that her appearance was a done deal, adding: "I'm [bleeping] the star of the show", before being even more tongue in cheek (literally) and commenting: "No, I got my job from auditioning."
Fans of the drama saw Sarah make her first appearance on the show during the fifth episode which aired earlier this month in the US. Speaking about what was going to happen between Helen and Betty, actress Annaleigh Ashford told AfterEllen.com: "Sarah Silverman and I do have a love scene and she was luxurious as a scene partner in that way as well. We laughed a lot and giggled.
"We sang the entire 'If Mama Was Married' from Gypsy and the whole crew was laughing so hard. So we had a great time and oh, she was just such a dream to work with". Annaleigh added: "She's one of the most gifted comediennes of our generation and oftentimes we forget that great comedians are great because they're honest and that makes them honest, interesting actors and she brought all of that comedy and humanity to the role that she played and I couldn't be more grateful to have a fabulous scene partner. She's beautiful as an actress and then she was incredible as a human. We had such a ball on set."
But Annaleigh wasn't the only one to speak highly of Sarah as the drama's series creator Michelle Ashford added to the site: "[Sarah's] great. We ended up loving her so much. We had her in mind for the longest time for this. She was so game for it and she's so lovely. Also we knew she had to be a very unusual woman to have hooked up with Betty.
"So she alone has this whole mystery—but she's so beautiful and subtle in the role. I think people will be really surprised. She's lovely and so now she's in."
