Look for one fewer Metcalf on ''Homefront'' next season. Hank Metcalf (David Newsom), big brother to Jeff (Kyle Chandler), has been written out. Hank, whose absence will be explained on the first episode, went bonkers when his wife was killed last season.

Taking his place as a regular will be sexy barmaid Judy Owen (Kelly Rutherford), who appeared on several episodes last season. That brings the cast to 15.

In a ''Homefront'' plot twist, aspiring starlet Ginger (Tammy Lauren) and Jeff, her fiance and an outfielder for the Cleveland Indians, will try to break into the fledgling TV business as a Burns-and-Allen type comedy team. (As bickering lovebirds, they get the show's funniest lines.)
