Lori Weston
By Mike Gordon
Assigned by Lt. Gov. Sam Denning (Richard T. Jones) to make sure the “Five-0″ team follows the rules, Lori Weston is a former Homeland Security officer with solid profiling skills.
The recurring character is played by Lauren German and will first appear in the second episode of the new season. Her new character is a hard-working professional who’s smart, German said.
“I get thrown into the mix, and McGarrett has no say in the matter,” she said. “McGarrett is like, ‘Who is this person I have to work with now?’ It was fun playing that dynamic.”
Her character has also been described as a potential love interest for McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin), but German is still waiting for her first kiss.
“I’ve been here for 2 1/2 months, and nothing of the sort has come up in the scripts,” she said. “Alex and I are … just buddies on the show, which is great because I feel it will allow me to stick around longer.”

I love her! I think she is going to be a great addition to the team. She is pretty, isn’t intimidated by Steve and gets along well with the rest of the team. I think Kono is going to finally get a bud and McGarrett can continue to sneak peeks at Lori and pretend he has napalm running through his veins.
That’s alright Steve… we know it’s not true!
Peter did an excellent job of casting her!
