Fancast - Scoop on Grey’s, Chuck, Supernatural and More November 3rd

2009-11-03T17:07:00.003Z

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ should bring back Burke - but it doesn’t have to be the same actor. If not Isaiah Washington, try someone new. That could be a nice storyline for Cristina. – Annette in Comments
I’m glad you shared this sentiment, because I made the exact same pitch to ‘Grey’s’ creator Shonda Rhimes. I mean, why introduce some new doc played by Kim Raver when a return by Burke (even via a recast) could really rattle the rafters? Rhimes’ response: “First of all, you can’t recast Burke. As far as I’m concerned, none of these [cast members] are recastable.” As for ever addressing any business left unfinished when Burke ran out on Yang, Rhimes countered, “No, I feel like we really played that storyline out in the way we meant to play it out - and I think it worked.”

The season premiere of ‘Chuck’ feels so far away! Some scoop would help make the wait easier to bear. – Frederic
Well, now that NBC has effectively axed both ‘Southland’ and ‘Trauma’ and upped ‘Chuck’s’ episode count by six, hopefully that wait will be whittled down some. “There’s always been that possibility,” Mark Christopher Lawrence (aka “Big Mike”) tells me. “With NBC cutting shows, chances are we will return earlier [than March 2010].” Will ‘Chuck’ still call Mondays home? “At this point there’s no telling,” Lawrence shrugs, before adding with a chuckle: “I’m just glad we’re not going up against ‘Monday Night Football’ or ‘Dancing with the Stars’!”

Is this week’s ‘Supernatural’ as funny as it looks? After all your Twitter and Facebook teases, I am dying over here. – Michelle
I’m a tough critic when it comes to funny, and I LOL’d lots while watching “Changing Channels,” in which the Trickster plops Sam and Dean inside various TV shows. (The episode’s opening credits alone will have both schlemiels and schlimazels howling.) All that’s up for debate is which segment the fans will find most hysterical. I myself was giving the edge to the riff on ‘Grey’s’ - which is replete with way too many people saying “Seriously?” - but then the ‘CSI’ spoof hit my screen and all bets were off. It must also be noted, however, that toward the hour’s end things turn grave when the Trickster drops two bombshells on the bros.

Got scoop on ‘Supernatural’? – Robin
Speaking of this week’s episode, I had to wonder if the breathy female pop tunes playing throughout the ‘Grey’s’ send-up were satires themselves, perhaps with mocking lyrics. Despite repeat viewings, I was unable to tell for sure, so I turned to series boss Eric Kripke for an answer. “It’s all real,” he tells The Big Tease. “We share a music supervisor with ‘Grey’s,’ Alex Patsavas, so she made sure we had the perfect type of songs. I think a few may have even been used on ‘Grey’s.’” Seriously? Seriously.

Are we closer to a resolution regarding ‘Southland’ moving to TNT? – Will
Just as you emailed me, Will, TNT announced its plan to air all seven Season 1 episodes plus the half-dozen new eps produced for (but ultimately turned down by) NBC. With ‘Southland’ moving to cable, one question is whether the gritty drama will still bleep its bad words. A TNT rep tells me that while cabler does carry “TV MA”-rated shows featuring “certain language for mature audiences,” it’s too soon to tell if the ‘Southland’ cops will be swearing a blue streak.

Will House and Cuddy get some actual action with each other this season? – Amy
By “actual,” do you mean non-hallucinated? That’d be nice, but no signs point to an in-the-flesh hookup anytime soon. Perhaps as small consolation, director Greg Yaitanes teased via Twitter that “Cuddy fans are going to go crazy” when they catch this season’s 14th episode. “It’s awesome.” And yet a small eternity away.

‘The Vampire Diaries’ should not have killed Vicki! Please tell me she’s not really dead. - Craig
Alas, the minx of Mystic Falls is no more - though there is a chance we could see her again. “[Series boss] Kevin Williamson keeps mentioning that I will possibly be back in a dream or as a ghost,” Kayla Ewell tells me, “but nothing is official.”

We have started a campaign to keep Ashlee Simpson-Wentz on ‘Melrose Place,’ and we need all the help we can get! Help us spread the word! – Luciano
I’m with you, Luciano – meaning, I agree that you are going to need all the help you can get. Now as far as things that will actually happen, one of the ‘Melrose’ tenants is gonna get a stalker.

After reading the Huffington Post piece where Michael Shanks talks about ‘Smallville’s’ Justice Society episode, I could not be more excited. What are you hearing about it? – Rachael
One of my buds got a gander at Geoff Johns’ script for the super-powered two-parter and in a word, he says, it is “amazing.” And speaking of Shanks, the buzz is that Hawkman could be the most entertaining DC Comics import in ‘Smallville’ history. Is it January yet?

I saw a teaser saying that ‘The Closer’ will return in December. Any idea on the date and how many episodes? – Jan
Brenda Leigh and the MCD crew will return on Monday, December 7, with three new episodes that wrap up the procedural’s fifth season.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who loves ‘White Collar’ and is desperate for scoop. – Sarah
True story: Back in 2002, blue-eyed ‘White Collar’ star Matt Bomer was considered to play the new big-screen Superman. (Brandon Routh went on to get the gig.) But onto your question. This week Bomer will strike a spark with ‘Rescue Me’ hottie Callie Thorne when Neal “appreciates” an art historian who may be involved in the theft of an antiquity. Also in the episode, ‘Fringe’s’ Kirk Acevedo will appear as an FBI nemesis of Peter’s.

I know ‘Criminal Minds’ is all about tracking serial killers, but are we ever going to see the characters have a little fun in their lives and see them in their comfort zone (i.e. see Reid’s apartment, JJ with her baby, the group hanging out together)? - Diane
Um, no. Rather, I am told that things will get even more bleak for the BAU agents before they get better, with the CBS hit’s 100th episode (airing November 25) revolving around a very personal turning point for Hotch.

Did Nathan Fillion ever reveal what the ‘Firefly’ “Easter egg” was on the ‘Castle’ Halloween episode? And any scoop on what is fast becoming my favorite new series? – Jess
The “Easter egg” was in fact barely bigger than an egg: Lying on the shelf as Castle made his entrance clad in Mal’s browncoat was a “catalyzer” - aka the gizmo critical to making a Firefly-class ship run. (Check out frame grabs here.) On the scoop front, ‘Mad Men’s’ tarty teach, Abigail Spencer, guests on the November 23 episode as a murder vic’s fiancée. When Perrey Reeves (aka ‘Entourage’s’ Mrs. Ari) turns up as said corpse’s wife, catfighting understandably ensues.

Do you know where/when the next Comic-Con is going to be? – mgbhighlander via Twitter
Do you mean the San Diego Comic-Con proper? That annual gathering will celebrate its 40th year from July 23 through 26, at the San Diego Convention Center. Register here, and remember: Lizard poisons Spock, but Spock vaporizes rock.

Latest from TVGuide - 27th October - Various Shows

2009-10-28T08:31:00.003Z

What's the story with new episodes of 24? — Randy
MICKEY: Are you a baseball fan, Randy? Even if you're not, you should tune in to the World Series because that's when Fox will unveil the first preview of the new season of 24, which starts in January 2010. But until then, here's a tidbit: Within the first hour of Season 8, Jack will meet his granddaughter. No word yet on whether Baby Bauer is rooting for New York or Philadelphia. (Go Phillies!)

Any news on what's ahead for Cristina and Owen on Grey's Anatomy? I don't want Kim Raver's character to break this couple up. — Lisa
ADAM: Sorry, Lisa, but Raver's Teddy is definitely going to be an obstacle to Crowen. What might surprise you, though, is that Teddy won't be the first bump in the road. I'm hearing that sparks are going to fly between Yang and new Mercy West doc Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) in the Nov. 5 episode, a week before Teddy even scrubs in.

How can everyone on Desperate Housewives still not know that Lynette is pregnant? — Leeanne
MICKEY: Because it's TV, Leeanne! Practicing attorneys should bite their tongues when Cherry & Co. play fast and loose with labor law to float a very funny story line about Lynette's employment as it relates to her pregnancy. It won't end well for Lynette — or Carlos, for that matter. But at least all the conversation about twins will be in reference to babies.

When is CSI going to start really getting into the Dr. Jekyll storyline? — Adrien
ADAM: Patience, Adrien, there's that whole three-show November sweeps crossover to deal with first. Executive producer Naren Shankar tells me the ultra-creepy serial killer who performs bizarre surgeries on his victims will pop up in Episode 9, which airs Dec. 10. The victim: a Las Vegas real estate tycoon. The surgery: "All I'm going to say is that the name of the episode is 'Appendicitement,'" Shankar says.

Are the Vampire Diaries writers sticking to the books? For instance, will Bonnie end up with [name redacted]? — Chris
MICKEY: Whoa there, Chris, don't ruin it for the fans who haven't read the books! "Just because it happens in the book, doesn't mean it's going to happen on the show," Katerina Graham, who plays Bonnie, tells us. As for whether or not the writers plan to get Bonnie and [that person] together, it doesn't look like that will happen any time soon. "One of the writers said I'm not going to get any action for a very long time," says Graham. So [redacted] will have to cool his or her jets in the meantime!

What can you tell me about Pauley Perrette's NCIS: Los Angeles crossover? — Krysten
ADAM: Abby heads to the West Coast when a victim turns up who matches the profile of a serial killer Abby's secretly been tracking. "She pieces together some unsolved crimes in her own way, and she is convinced there's a killer that no one else thinks exists," Perrette says. "She has a very specific theory and she goes out to L.A. to try to track down this guy... or girl."

When does Glee return with new episodes and can you tease anything juicy? — Nicole
MICKEY: Glee returns Nov. 11, when we learn that both Sue Sylvester and Tina have character-revealing secrets. One reveal will end a relationship before it even gets started. The other will make you reconsider a character you thought you knew.

When will the Criminal Minds producers loosen up Hotch? — Roly
ADAM: To hear executive producer Ed Bernero tell it, they don't need to loosen him up at all. "We all believe that Hotch's stoic nature, his strength, his resolve, is one of the glues that holds the show together," Bernero says. "His unflinching portrayal of a true-believer G-man allows all the other characters to be a bit eccentric... because there is a representation of the real FBI in Hotch." That said, Bernero promises the show's 100th episode will give fans a completely different view of Hotch.

When will Ryan catch on to Jen Clark's evil ways on 90210? — Pat
MICKEY: Soon, Pat. Once Jen and Ryan hit the skids, he'll rebound with a very interesting woman. She'll entertain him with her colorful stories of the good old days; he'll totally freak out once he realizes that he's sleeping with the mother of one of his students.

On Smallville, will we see Clark wear a suit with some color this season? Or maybe wear his iconic glasses? — Sharlene
ADAM: Get used to the basic black, Sharlene. "He isn't quite done with his suit yet," says executive producer Kelly Souders. "This whole season is the alter ego before he starts transforming into the [Superman] that we all know." As for the glasses, she says, "There's a flirting moment with a pair of glasses. I won't say that he's definitely got them on, but I would watch the next little run. You'll see it in the first nine episodes."

On White Collar, will Neal ever try to run again to get to Kate?
MICKEY: Ankle security monitor be damned, it sure looks like it. Executive producer Jeff Eastin told me that Neal will always want to run. "There will always be that tension, but for the most part Neal is happy with his job," he says. Deduce what you will, then, from the fact that Kate (All My Children's Alexandra Daddario) is a recurring character on the show. We'll see her soon.

Any news on Damages? — Jill
ADAM: Season 3 finds Patty (Glenn Close) single for the first time in a while. Cue Julian Decker, a handsome architect who is also a pretty mean tenor saxophonist. Patty may not exactly swoon over him, but the two will share a kiss in the season premiere.

Adam's Mega Rave: Go ahead and give Jon Hamm his Emmy now. His stunning performance in Sunday's episode of Mad Men hit all the right notes: He began his confrontation with Betty as the defiant, powerful Don Draper, but when the shoebox hit the fan, he was reduced to the crumpled, emotional boy that Dick Whitman is. His unraveling was both heartbreaking and transfixing.

Mickey's Mini Rant: I love a good Rashomon-style story, but Grey's Anatomy's entry into the canon, the episode titled "I Saw What I Saw," seemed unnecessarily complicated for such a lame payoff.

Reader Quote of the Week: "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles fans, rejoice. Sweet justice!" — wrstlgirl, upon hearing that Dollhouse won't air during November sweeps

Latest From Ausiello - Various Shows - 14th Oct

2009-10-15T04:16:00.006+01:00

Question: Is it at all possible that Shonda Rhimes would bring Isaiah Washington back to Grey’s Anatomy for even one episode now that T.R. Knight has left the show? —Ben
Ausiello: Listen to me very carefully, because I’m only going to say this once: Never. Gonna. Happen. But Washington kinda-sorta gets a shout-out in this week’s episode when Owen-lovin’ Cristina utters three shocking words: “I miss Burke.”

Question: Sounds like you’ve already seen this week’s Grey’s, so I’ve got a Q: Any good Mer-Der scenes? —Megan
Ausiello: Nothing stands out on the Mer-Der front, but there’s a memorable Mer-Cristina-Alex scene at the end that will have you crying and laughing (and in that order).

Question: Any Grey’s scoop? —Sharon
Ausiello: You already know that someone gets fired in this week’s episode. But what you may not know is that someone gets fired next week, too!

Question: Julie Benz just Twittered a photo of a guy she says will be part of a big reveal in the Dexter season finale. What can you tell us about this? —Matt
Ausiello: Here’s what I can tell you: If this guy is who I think he is, fans are not going to be happy.

Question: Jenny is so boring on Gossip Girl. Please tell me she will become mean. —Juliana
Ausiello: Mean enough to drive her BFF away. I hear Jenny and Eric’s relationship will suffer big time due to her new “Queen Bee” status.

Question: I’m thrilled Jorja Fox is sticking with CSI, but what about William Petersen? I want to see Grissom and Sara together. —Alex
Ausiello: They were just together, albeit off screen. As exec producer Carol Mendelsohn tells me, Sara will reveal in this week’s episode that she “just got back from visiting Grissom in Paris.” Mendelsohn adds that, “We have no plans for Billy to return at the moment, but the door’s always open.”

Question: Will we see a storyline involving Chloe and Oliver on Smallville anytime soon? —Marie
Ausiello: Yes, very soon. Next Friday’s episode, “Roulette,” is all about Oliver, with a little Chloe twist thrown in.

Question: Why are you ignoring the No. 1 show in the ratings? Seriously, give us some scoop on NCIS! —Alexandra
Ausiello: This may or may not be a first for the show, but this season NCIS will devote special episodes to Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. How much you wanna bet that last one will feature a golden Ziva moment? I’m in for $10.

Question: I am really confused. Did I miss a scoop that Tracie Thoms was leaving Cold Case? I liked her character and enjoyed how Miller was starting to get to know ADA Bell. Is she off the show for good? —Paige
Ausiello: No, not for good. Thoms’ episode order was cut back this season, so Miller will be missing in spots. But a Cold Case insider assures me that she remains a series regular and we’ll see her again “soon enough.”

Question: Rumor has it someone’s dying on Melrose Place. Who is it?! —Shane
Ausiello: It’s not a major character, so relax. If you want to discuss a major upcoming death, ask me who’s going to bite it on Vampire Diaries.

Question: You recently said that Robert Sean Leonard should prepare an Emmy acceptance speech, so that must mean Wilson has some juicy storyline action coming up on House. What can you tell us about our favorite boy wonder oncologist? —Clover
Ausiello: Don’t be surprised if around episode 10 the tables turn and House ends up nursing Wilson back to health.

Question: I am dying to know what’s going to happen before the season ends on Greek? —Paola
Ausiello: The Nov. 2 finale promises to be the show’s most ambitious to date. In a word, musical! “Our girls’ story is centered around a traditional sorority competition called ‘Songfest,’” explains series creator Sean Smith. “[They perform] some big song-and-dance numbers as they go up against Gamma Psi to get the house back on top.” That explains the return of High School Musical’s Olesya Rulin as perky ZBZ pledge Abby, who Smith says sprinkles some “great HSM references” throughout the episode. And then there’s this: “One of our Kappa Taus graduates,” Smith reveals. “That’s right, I used the G-word.”

Question: I am dying to know what happens with Casey and Cappie on Greek! —Bri
Ausiello: Wow, you Greek fans are playing the death card to, um, death this week. Well, it’s working, because I can tell you that this season’s penultimate (and prematurely Thanksgiving-themed) episode on Oct. 26 will reveal which way Casey’s love life is going — towards Evan or Cappie.

Question: Is there any news on that planned Pushing Daisies comic book? —Tommy
Ausiello: Bryan Fuller just turned in the script for the first one and he’s currently working with the show’s writers on the next three. Here’s a spoiler to whet your appetites: The first comic, which I’ve read and is awesome, features the return of ***a* *****iu*!

Question: Two Criminal Minds Qs for you: Is Hotch going back to his ex-wife Haley after he catches Foyet? And will Emily finally have a love life? —Marbs
Ausiello: “Hayley will definitely play an important role in the taking down of The Reaper,” responds exec producer Ed Bernero. “That’s really all I can say about that right now. And as far as Emily, we’ve all been talking a lot about her and her ’status,’ though no final decision has been made. She’s become a very important character for us in a number of ways. I think it’s fair to say that we are as interested in Emily Prentiss finding love and balance in her life as the audience is.”

Question: Is there a chance J.J. and Reid will hook up on Criminal Minds? —Elle
Ausiello: I suppose anything’s possible. Speaking of J.J., her portrayer, A.J. Cook, got to do something in the upcoming Gavin Rossdale episode that she’s been wanting to do since she first joined the show. Here’s a clue: It involves giving someone a good *is*** w*i**i*’.

Question: Where has Mohinder gone from Heroes?! —Rachel
Ausiello: Sendhil Ramamurthy resurfaces in November, so you’ll get your explanation then. Not sure if this is a clue but my Heroes mole tells me that more than 50 percent of Ramamurthy’s scenes since returning have been with Masi Oka.

Question: I heard that Sylar is going to have a love interest this season on Heroes. Could it possibly be Claire? That would make some people happy. —Laurie
Ausiello: The show has 12 episodes in the can and, so far, there’s nothing to suggest that Sylar will take a lover. “We [only] have six more episodes left [to shoot],” reports Zachary Quinto.” I suppose anything’s possible, but I don’t think the seeds for that have been planted in my storyline yet.”

Question: If somebody put a gun to your head and asked for a Fringe spoiler, how would you scoop your way out? —Nihat
Ausiello: I’d give you a Fringe spoiler. Duh. The episode currently in production — this season’s 10th — features the return of Leonard Nimoy’s William Bell.

Question: Is Astrid ever going to get her time to shine on Fringe? I don’t think we’ve ever seen out of the lab. —Oli
Ausiello: Good news, she’s coming out! “Astrid gets out of the lab a lot more this season,” reveals exec producer Jeff Pinkner. “And we just wrote a Astrid/Walter arc.” Adds fellow e.p. J.H. Wyman: “We adore her. She’s a diamond in the rough, and we know that. And we’re looking actively for ways to expand the character.”

Question: Is the actor from your “Fired Leading Man” blind item on Lost? —Jarrod
Ausiello: No.

Question: Any further hints you can give us regarding the significant death on Dexter? —Emily
Ausiello: Look for a major clue at the end of this Sunday’s episode!

Question: Rumor has it (via Twitter) that you’ve seen the season premiere of Friday Night Lights. The first season was the best. Does season 4 have that same feel? —Shannon
Ausiello: It does. As I tweeted earlier today, the premiere (airing Oct. 28 on DIRECTV’S The 101 Network) is an epic triumph. Exec producer Jason Katims promised that the episode — which focuses on Coach Taylor starting over from scratch with the Bad News Bears East Dillon Lions — would feel like a second pilot, and he wasn’t kidding. Katims (who wrote the ep) did a remarkable job balancing the new (six characters!) with the old (Tami, Julie, Saracen, Riggins, Landry, and J.D.) BTW, one of the six returning faves I just mentioned transformed into an unbelievable douchebag over the summer. I totally didn’t see it coming. Equally as shocking: The episode’s gut-wrenching climax.

Question: How much screen time does Riggins get in the FNL premiere? Is his character regressing? Does he get even hotter? —Shannon
Ausiello: He’s rather prominent, his brother certainly thinks he is, and get ready to press the pause button at about the 28-minute mark (excluding commercials). In related news, I’m firing my trainer and hiring Taylor Kitsch. To train me. Anything more than that would be illegal.

Question: If Southland’s sixth episode ends up being its last, will we get any closure (assuming the episode ever airs)? —James
Ausiello: Yes and no. It’s a self-contained ep, so the procedural element will be wrapped up. But there won’t be any big-picture closure — although Michael Cudlitz hints that the final scene contains “a little Easter egg for people who have followed the show and my storyline.”

Question: Do you answer your blind items after a certain time? Or do we have to wait until the story is “officially” broken? I’m particularly interested in finding out the answer to your most recent “Fired Actor” post. —Silmarwen
Ausiello: I take it on a case-by-case basis. Some blind items are so sensitive I can’t even offer any further hints. Others I feel comfortable narrowing down the possibilities to the point where it becomes painfully obvious who (or what) it is I’m talking about. And occasionally I’ll just end everyone’s suffering and solve the damn thing. Regarding the “Fired Actor” item, I’m going to try a new approach. I will relay the name of the fired actor plus two red herrings to the first Aushole that runs into me in Austin over the next three days.* And just to sweeten the deal, said Aushole will also receive a cool and extremely valuable piece of TV swag. Happy hunting! (BTW, I’ll be tweeting and twitpicing up a storm from FNL’s Austin set, so you best start following me.)

Question: USA is calling this week’s episode of Psych the “fall finale.” Is that the same thing as the season finale, or will there be more episodes later on? —Kristin
Ausiello: More episodes later on. This Friday’s episode marks the end of the first part of season 4. The second half will run in early ‘10 and climax with the return of Ally Sheedy as the Ying Yang Killer! The ep, co-written and directed by star James Roday, revolves around the release of Yang’s tell-all book.
