Friday Night Lights - New Season 4 Promo

2009-10-22T09:36:00.002+01:00

Latest from Ausiello - 21st October

2009-10-22T07:25:00.003+01:00

Question: Is Emilie de Ravin going to be back on Lost for the whole season or just a few episodes? And will we get to see what happened to her? —Jared
Ausiello: The answer to both of your questions is a resounding yeppers. Better prepare yourself though. My Lost mole says season 6 will showcase “a version of Claire we’ve never seen before — a Rousseau-esque version.” We’ll be in need of a Rousseau fix since the real version will be MIA. According to a Lost insider, the French Lady’s portrayer, Mira Furlan, turned down the show’s request to return for the final season due to a “prior overseas commitment.” Anyone know how you say “big bag-o-nuts” in français?

Question: I’m tired of people bitching about Gossip Girl being in a creative slump. I’m loving this season. Got scoop? —Alex
Ausiello: I’m (mostly) loving this season, too. The Chuck-Blair stuff continues to be immensely satisfying. And Hilary Duff isn’t nearly as annoying as I thought she’d be. On the scoop front, there’s a big Blair-Serena blow-up coming. The frenemies will definitely be on the outs for a little bit.

Question: How was your trip to Austin? Bring back any scoop? —Carol
Ausiello: Let’s see… Aimee Teegarden is a really good sport, East Dillon’s team colors are red and white, and Connie Britton loves herself a margarita. And to answer your first question, Austin rocks. It’s my new favorite U.S. city. My one and only quibble: the fashion. It’s God-awful. Everyone wears the same ugly orange, horn-emblazoned shirts. Blech.

Question: What Friday Night Lights goodies did you bring us back from Austin? —Jason
Ausiello: Okay, here’s some real scoop: Adrianne Palicki’s returning! She’s scheduled to shoot her one and only season 4 episode later this month. Also, two FNL characters will frequent a gay bar within the first five episodes.

Question: Last week you mentioned that one of the core characters on Friday Night Lights turned into a douche over the summer. Please tell me it’s not Matt — he’s my favorite! —Lizzy
Ausiello: It’s not Matt. But you’re close. Hint: The douche’s name starts with J and ends with D. (And just to be clear, I’m referring to the character and not the actor portraying him. It’s a very important distinction.)

Question: When will we find out what Gibbs whispered to Ziva in last week’s episode of NCIS? —Jan
Ausiello: Not anytime soon. Per an NCIS insider, “What Gibbs whispered to Ziva will remain a secret… at least for now.”

Question: Can you give us some juicy NCIS scoop as an early Halloween treat? —Laurie
Ausiello: Do baby geniuses creep you out as much as they creep me out? If so, you’re going to love an episode the show has coming up next month in which the mysterious death of a Marine leads Gibbs and Co. to a high security Navy Think Tank — where the brilliant minds are actually (shudder) children! I think I just piddled my pantaloons.

Question: You were right: I was crying during the final scene of last week’s Grey’s Anatomy. My heart broke for Alex. Please tell me you have some good news about him. —Anita
Ausiello: He makes contact with Izzie this week. That’s the good news. Here’s the bad: She’s not coming out of hiding anytime soon.

Question: I’m a huge Kim Raver fan and I’m thrilled that she is joining Grey’s. Could you give us some scoop on her character? —Sabrina
Ausiello: She’s basically Cristina’s worst nightmare: a heart specialist who used to play doctor with Owen. That’s right, Owen’s ex is going to be Cristina’s (potential) mentor! Cue the dramaz!

Question: I have a feeling the Chief will get axed on Grey’s. —Troy
Ausiello: A word of advice: You’d make a terrible psychic. The Chief is not the one who gets fired. BTW, unlike Izzie, the doc getting pink-slipped this week won’t be back. Guesses? Head to the comments!

Question: Any update on when Chuck is coming back? —Gary
Ausiello: The latest buzz points to a January or February return.

Question: Have we seen the last of Charlie on Fringe? —Kevin
Ausiello: Exec producer Jeff Pinkner isn’t ruling a comeback out. “We’ve already met Charlie’s doppelganger in the alternate reality,” he says. “He still exists.” Adds fellow e.p. J.H. Wyman: “No one ever really dies on Fringe.” BTW, Pinkner insists the exit of Kirk Acevedo’s G-man was strictly a creative decision and not a reflection on the actor himself (despite that whole Facebook debacle). “We wanted to take our team out of the FBI office and a little bit more underground,” he says, “and Charlie was a [casualty] of that.”

Question: Will we meet Olivia’s evil stepfather on Fringe this season? —Zakaria
Ausiello: “We’re talking about it,” responds Jeff Pinkner. “We definitely have been talking about that.”

Question: What happened to the new female FBI agent on Fringe? I thought she was sticking around all season. —Chris
Ausiello: According to Pinkner, Special Agent Jessup (Meghan Markle) is waiting in the wings and may pop up again in the future: “There was never any length of time [assigned to her stay],” he says. “There’s no end date. She’s an available tool in our toolbox and we’ll use her as we see fit. [But] we’re really trying to tell stories about our main characters… we want to get deeper with them, so we don’t have a lot of time to go into the FBI. I think our fans really want to get to know our [core] characters more and that’s what we’re endeavoring to do this year.”

Question: Do you have any Smallville spoilers? —Michelle
Ausiello: This is kinda spoilery. I’m talking to exec producers Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders in a few hours. Send your Qs to ausielloscoop@ew.com ASAP!

Question: Got any Supernatural scoop on episode 10? —Ivan
Ausiello: Sam and Dean fight Lucifer and two supporting characters will die!

Question: OK, I’ll bite. Who dies on Vampire Diaries? —Bonnie
Ausiello: Female series regular.

Question: How about some scoop on Cold Case? —Cady
Ausiello: Like her character, Kathryn Morris is spending a lot of time thinking about the past, even if she’s glad to still be around in the present. Cold Case’s close brush with network death (before eventually getting renewed for another season) has her feeling “a little more sentimental this year,” she says. “Everyone is waxing poetic about the good times. ‘Remember when you were sick with the flu in season two and I brought you chicken soup and we became best friends?’ ‘Remember that one time when I ripped a Dolce & Gabbana suit by walking by a rusty desk in homicide the first day they let me wear it? I’m sorry.’” Regarding the possibility of an eighth season, she says, “I think we are optimistic that we could go on as long as the audience wants us to. It isn’t like we will run out of crime in Philadelphia.”

Question: Why is Balthazar Getty’s name still listed in the opening credits of Brothers & Sisters? Is he still a series regular? —Shannon
Ausiello: No, he’s not. I did a little snooping and it turns out Getty asked that his name be kept in the opening credits as a condition of his return this season for a handful of episodes. Strange, right?

Question: When will all of the baby drama come out in the open on Glee? Finn and Will both need to get a clue. —Caroline
Ausiello: The truth comes out at some point between “Wheels” (episode 9) and “Sectionals” (episode 13). Speaking of Glee, look who’s on the cover of the new Entertainment Weekly!

Question: What’s going on with Hank? Will ABC pick it up for a full season? I’m not ashamed to admit I kind of find it funny. —Jessica
Ausiello: I’m not ashamed to admit your taste in television sucks. Just kidding. Not really. Actually, I may check back into the mediocre sitcom next month in light of this exclusive casting scoop: Swoosie Kurtz will play Kelsey Grammer’s mother-in-law in the show’s Thanksgiving episode.

Question: What’s this I hear about one of Lost’s planes going down on Wisteria Lane? Tell me this is not true. Desperate Housewives is solid enough, it doesn’t need any cross-promotion with other ABC shows. —Kellen
Ausiello: Someone at ABC suggested it might be fun to slap an Oceanic logo on the ill-fated plane, but the idea was quickly (and thankfully) nixed.

Question: How exactly did you become the all-knowing God of everything television? —Oliver
Ausiello: I thought I was standing in line for froyo. I wasn’t. True story.

Question: Have Olivia Wilde and Peter Jacobson left House for good? —Megan
Ausiello: No. The revolving door at Princeton-Plainsboro will spin yet again next month when Thirteen and Taub request their old jobs back. Coincidentally, that’s right around the time Cameron and Chase decide to quit and move to Chicago. (Guess which one of them changes their mind at the last minute!)

Question: Do you have any news regarding House, Wilson, and the progression of their relationship? —Xay
Ausiello: I’m hearing there’s tons of good House-Wilson action in episodes 10 and 11, including a scene my mole singles out as one of his/her “favorite Hilson moments ever.”

Question: Rumor has it Betty will be involved in a love triangle with Matt and another mystery party on Ugly Betty. Any clue who the third person might be? —Stacy
Ausiello: I hear it might be *****a.

Question: Dexter is getting crazy. Who shot Deb and Lundy? —George
Ausiello: I think a more interesting question is, What will happen to Deb in the wake of said shooting? Or more specifically, whose house will she move into?

Question: What’s the latest on Zooey Deschanel guest-starring opposite her sis on Bones? —Lauren
Ausiello: It’s happening! Her deal closed earlier this week. As I previously reported, she’ll be playing Brennan’s never-before-seen cuz in the show’s Christmas episode on Dec. 10.

Question: Anything good coming up on 90210? —Nick
Ausiello: Dixon’s about to land himself a cougar! “A new woman comes into Dixon’s life, and she’s even older than Sasha,” teases exec producer Rebecca Sinclair. “It’s someone we’ve met before.”

Amy in Chicago: Any gossip on Addie's character on Private Practice? We are dying for any spoilers or news about her character.

As we told you last week (and as you can see in this sneak peek), Addison kicks ass and takes names in the P.P. season premiere, but we're hitting a Private Practice event tonight, so we'll ask for more scoop. Meanwhile, if you have any Q's for the rest of the cast, email tvdiva@eonline.com and we'll try to get you answers!

Duke in Texas: Dexter got robbed at the Emmys. What can you tell me about the new season?When season four of Dexter premieres Sept. 27, look out for Dexter's first truly formidable competition: the Trinity Killer, played by veteran John Lithgow. "He's amazing," gushed Julie Benz (Rita Bennett) about the latest addition to their cast. "He's the nicest guy, and he plays the scariest killer. His portrayal is just so chilling. At our table reads we were all just afraid of him." Don't miss our sneak peeks of Lithgow's performance.

Alethea in Minn.: I'm trying to be patient for the Friday Night Lights premiere in October, but it's eating me up inside! Give me any tidbits you have. Trust us, we feel your pain. Our TiVos have gone too long without any love from Mr. and Mrs. Coach. When we caught up with Connie Britton (Tami Taylor), she gave us insight on how our favorite TV relationship stays strong. "We really like to crack jokes. I think it's really funny when I get the best of him, but I think it's funnier when he gets the best of me," Connie said about working with TV hubby Kyle Chandler. "I think something that's made it work is that we have shared views on how we work that marriage. We really wanted it to have a strong foundation that we could shake up as much as we wanted. We both felt really strongly that we didn't want someone to have an affair. We didn't want it to go into cheesy world like that. Not that that doesn't happen in real life, but we wanted to keep it more innocent and simple. I think it's something people can really relate to." Awww. Aren't they the sweetest? P.S. We're working on getting some more FNL dish for you guys soon, so if you have specific Q's, please hit up tvdiva@eonline.com. Thank you!

Suzi in Cleveland: I'm so happy The Office is back! What have you heard about guest stars this season?
Office die-hards, get excited! When we asked cocreator and executive producer of The Office, Ricky Gervais, who we can expect to see on the show this season, he hinted at making a cameo of his own. "Maybe there's a big guest star. Maybe you're talking to him now," he said with a smirk. "Nah. Just kidding. But I'd love to maybe do the show in the future." We think it would be fabulous to see Ricky play his character, David Brent, from the original Office and interact with Michael Scott. What do you think?

Riley in Big Bear: It was such a treat watching Neil Patrick Harris host the Emmys. What do you know about How I Met Your Mother?
We'll let NPH himself tell you about the fifth season: "Well, this season of How I Met Your Mother we are at 8 p.m., instead of 8:30, so we start the night off. Bring the kids in--the younger the better--and watch us binge drink, have three-, four-ways, lots of cursing. I think we use the word douche now, because we can," says the triple-threat actor. "We're trying to indoctrinate the younger generation into the Barney way of life, which is a good thing. Everyone should do it. Scotch on the rocks." Are you planning on watching the HIMYM premiere tonight? Will you accompany it with a scotch on the rocks?

Neila in San Francisco: I miss The Real Housewives of Orange County. Do you know what's happening this season?
Those O.C. housewives are back on Bravo Nov. 5 with a new mama in tow and a farewell to fan favorite Jeana Keough. We also just heard the series will be filming on the Los Angeles campus of the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising this week. Our source says one of the daughters is interested in attending the school. Any guesses as to who it might be?

Maggie in More Breaking Bad, please.
Last night's Emmy winner Bryan Cranston just told us a huge secret about the new season of the AMC cult fave. "The thing that my character was always worried about was having my wife find out what I'm doing. This season, she finds out. I still don't know how she's taking it, but she's freaked out. My thought was if she ever finds out, it's over." So is it? "That's what I'm still wondering!" Plus, Jesse and Walter will still go at it, too. "As long as we're at odds with each other, it's a good way to go, because he and I are so different. We should play that up all the time--like an odd couple."

Kiera in Santa Barbara, Calif.: Boo for Aaron Paul losing at the Emmys! Any scoop on Breaking Bad?
Ditto, but we caught up with Aaron Paul (Jesse) right before the Emmys and he was just beyond thrilled to be nominated. As for the new season of Breaking Bad, the sexy (and so sweet) star was tight-lipped but warned us to be prepared for a huge premiere: "We just wrapped episode three, and they start off with a huge bang and it just keeps going." Not sure if he meant literally, but we're still excited! Aaron was also thrilled about some "really cool new characters" on board next year.

Natalie in New York City: Chase is actually getting a real storyline on House? I still can't really believe it. Chase fans have been waiting way too long for something like this!
Yep, Chase is plenty busy this season. Jesse Spencer spills to us, "I'm back on the team. It's kinda old-school: Cameron and Chase, kickin' it old-school. The merging of the teams is a work in progress. People are back and forth, and in and out, but I think very soon it's going to be a complete conglomeration of old and new. It's going to be a new dynamic for the team, which I think is going to be really good." Spencer adds, "I've got a lot of storylines coming my way. There's a bit of dodgy doctoring going on. But dodgy doctoring is all we do on the show. Bend the rules a little bit--that's what House does. If House was practicing medicine [in the real world], he'd have lot his license on day one."

Kelly in Wichita, Kan.: Thanks for the interviews with Hugh Laurie, Lisa Edelstein and the House producers, but where is the rest of the gang?
Patience, young Jedi. Olivia Wilde tells us that House's eventual return to the hospital causes a great deal of disruption. "House has changed, and that means our environment has changed. Everyone approaches House's recovery differently. They all have very different relationships to him this season, and it reveals a little bit more about similarities that some of us may have with House."

Dean in Vancouver: House!
Peter Jacobson (an actor we always enjoy speaking with) says Taub's just fine with House being gone from Princeton-Plainsboro: "Taub is somewhat relieved to not be the subject of such abuse, as he has been. For Taub it is actually a little bit frustrating, because there are a lot of dynamic shifts and different politics on the team and in the hospital, because House isn't as he was. We don't always necessarily know who is in charge. I came to the hospital for very specific reasons, three years ago, and I'm not sure those reasons are sustained at the moment." OK, but give us one more good tease about the season! Says Jacobsen, "Well, we have one cool case with a suburban Jewish guy who's a porn star, which I think is funny."

Amber in Bournemouth, Dorset, U.K.: Any scoop on Mark and Lexie on Grey's Anatomy?
Mark and Lexie may be the cutest twosome on Grey's Anatomy, and the cuteness continues in Thursday's big season premiere, when Lexie confides in Mark about her feelings regarding George's demise. It's a quiet, gentle scene in the locker room, and we think you guys will dig it!

Susan from Mich.: HIMYM scoop, please.
When we caught up with Cobie Smulders (Robin Scherbatsky) at the Lipton Green VitaliTEA Gift Lounge Backstage at the Nokia Theatre, she told us about the atmosphere on set this season. "Neil and I make out all day. We have a lot of sex. The first scene of the season is me in bed naked with Neil," she spilled about her onscreen love life. "It's sort of these phobic people trying to have a normal relationship and what the definition is for that. We're trying to take these examples from Marshall and Lily and replicate that, but it's not working." What do you think of Barney and Robin together?

Libby in Utah: The Office premiere was super, but please tell me that's not the last we'll see of Pam and Jim's baby until it's born.
No worries: the Jam baby will be present and accounted for throughout the season. In fact, the baby daddy, John Krasinski, tells us, "They have a very elaborate process for making sure Pam's tummy grows at the right rate. It's crazy--they put way more thought into the show than I do, obviously. I would have shot it and then been like, oh, we forgot about the bump! And the wedding episode is going to be really, really fun. It feels like a premiere, even though it's our fourth episode in."

Stella in Montpelier, Vt.: Quit skimping on The Office spoilers.
OK, here's an intriguing tease: According to B.J. Novak, "Ryan gets into photography." Wanna bet that Michael Scott finds some way to make that dirty and wrong?

Melanie in San Francisco: So cranky we have to wait almost a month for new 30 Rock eps to tide us over. Is there anything you can share in the meantime?
The divine Alec Baldwin says his 30 Rock character, Jack Donaghy, might be ready for a commitment: "I want to settle down. I don't want to be with all of these crazy women and one-night stands and these one-month stands. I want to get married! We're going to find me a wife." We think you'll join us in saying, Whaaaat?! Any thoughts on who would be the perfect Mrs. Donaghy? Share in the comments!

James in Pocatello, Idaho: Smallville spoilers, please.
Doesn't it feel like yesterday Smallville premiered for the first time? Here we are eight years later, with the season nine premiere on Sept. 25. How time flies. But we've digressed. We watched the season premiere and must say a couple things: First of all, Team Smallville isn't messing around with the special effects. It looks like they pulled out all the stops (and the budget) on this sweet, first episode. Also, all of you Lois lovers will be happy to know Erica Durance (Lois Lane) is interwoven throughout many storylines and is front and center during most of the show. Set three weeks after the events of the finale, Clark (Tom Welling) is training to be Superman and is struggling with leaving his humanity behind. He's frustrated with his inability to fly, but is told by trainer Jor-El it's because, "You still see yourself as a human." Meanwhile Clark's relationship with Chloe (Allison Mack) is downright rocky, while he remains obsessed with Lois. Lois doesn't have a clue where she was for the last three weeks, but when she returns it's in the company of a freaky Kryptonic-ninja lady from the future who's out to get Clark. And watch out for Lois' scary dream sequence at the end of the episode: there's sex, sweat, blood and death.

Jane in Dallas: Have you heard anything about who is getting married on Desperate Housewives? I'm dying of suspense out here!
Sorry, Jane. That is one secret the cast and crew are keeping close to their hearts. Awhile back, we showed you a picture of two brides, and our questions still haven't been answered. Not ones to give up the quest for information, we asked Dana Delany (Katherine Mayfair) when we saw her at Emmy rehearsals who's going to be walking down the aisle. "I can't tell you that!" she said. "All will be revealed next week. I'm so happy because I have a wonderful storyline this year. I'm just having a ball. I'm kinda going over the edge, only as Katherine can. We are going to see drama with the partnership between Bree, Katherine and Orson. I love Katherine's relationship with Bree because there's always this 'frienemy' thing going on." Another thing to look forward to? "The fun thing for me this year has been working with Drea de Matteo," said Delaney. "She's the new housewife and she's the only person that Katherine has left, the only one who'll put up with her." Are you going to be watching the season-six premiere on Sept. 27? Who do you think the newlyweds will be?

Sam in Boise, Idaho: What can you spill on The Big Bang Theory? I've been waiting for it to come back.
Kunal Nayyar tells us, "This season Sheldon and Penny butt heads, now that Penny is dating Leonard, and they try to work things out, but..." But not so much! "Other than that," says Kunal, "Howard and Rajesh just try to pick up women and make fun of Leonard for going there with Penny. We also have some great guest stars: Lewis Black, Laurie Metcalfe is back, and we just cast Wil Wheaton in episode six. I am almost positive he's going to play a nerd." Indeed!

Thom in Devore, Calif.: I know it's a long way off, but what's going on with Chuck? I miss it!
We're right there with you! We caught up with Vik Sahay (Lester), one-half of Chuck's Jeffster at the Silver Spoon Emmy gift lounge, and he spilled: "There is Buy More stuff and there's a lot of friction with management. There are elements of Lester temporarily changing something about himself. He is changed--temporarily." Sounds like some sort of Intersect-related issue--or a sex change? As for Chuck in general, Vik says, "I feel particularly excited about this season because something about the budget cuts will potentially streamline how it's shot. And when it's streamlined it becomes more potent."

Maggie in Nashville: What's happening with CSI: Miami?
We asked the lovely Emily Procter at the Pepsi Max-sponsored CBS Fall Launch Party who Calleigh might be hooking up with, and she told us, "Calleigh is not afraid to make a love interest out of somebody she works with." There are at least three possible candidates for some quality Calleigh time: Adam Rodriguez and newcomers Eddie Cibrian and Omar Miller. Which would you choose?

Marie in Helena, Mont.: Tell us more about Katee Sackhoff's role on 24.
We'll let Katee break it down for you: "I play Dana Walsh, the head data analyst for CTU, and she's engaged to Cole Ortiz (Freddie Prinze Jr.). She's got a shady little past, and we'll see how that affects her." The show has 13 episodes finished and wraps in January, and Katee tells us: "It's the same usual 24. They're used to having new characters coming in. There's so many new castmembers this year that if it is the last year, they'll go out with a bang."

Gregory in N. H.: The fifth season premiere of Ghost Whisperer is coming up on Sept. 25. What can we expect?
Jennifer Love Hewitt told us about Melinda's new son: "The baby is going to have a gift, a gift that is far superior to his mommy's," she said. "We will also meet Eli's parents this year, in one of our most controversial episodes yet, the third episode." And FYI: This season takes place five years in the future.

Alabama in Washington, D.C.: I think nobody watches it but me, but I love Rules of Engagement, especially Megyn Price and Patrick Warburton. Any scoop?
Audrey and Jeff will be undergoing some fertility tests this season, but Patrick Warburton and Megyn Price both told us they are personally very resistant to the idea of introducing a baby onto the show. What do you guys think? Baby or no baby? And for you fans of Megyn's old show, Grounded for Life, she told us a funny story: "I just ran into [Grounded costar] Donal Logue on the street. We were both driving and I was like, 'Who's the jackass blasting his music so loud that he can't even--Oh, it's Donal.' So I called him and told him, 'Turn down your music,' and he was all, 'What?' That was fun."

Simone in Cairo, Ill. I love the new character Quinn on One Tree Hill!
We just chatted with Shantel VanSanten (Quinn) this morning, and she couldn't have been nicer--or more grateful for her new role in the tiny town of Tree Hill. And guess what? She's married to a castmember in real life! Not Robert Buckley, but Jackson Brundage. That's right, the adorable little Jamie Scott developed an instant crush on the new OTH star and took it to the next level. "He proposed to me on set when they brought me my wedding ring. Jackson got down on one knee and said 'Will you marry me?' He always calls me his wife and makes me eat lunch with him." Too. Cute. Check back for more real scoop from our interview soon.

Jillian in Detroit: Come on! Dexter spoilers!
OK, how's this? Julie Benz, who plays Dexter's baby mama Rita says, "We do see Rita sing a little bit." Sweet! Also, episode four ends with a shocking twist that will leave you debating "whodunit?" at the watercooler for at least the next week!

Jen in Florida: Can't wait for Eastwick! Do you guys have any scoop?
Eastwick premieres Wednesday at 10 p.m., and we just caught up with star Lindsay Price at the Emmys (in the company of her fella, HIMYM star Josh Radnor), and she told us, "In episode six, I develop a second tier to my powers, which I am very excited about. It's a more of a mental/mind power."

Jess in Austin: What can you tell me about the new season of Ugly Betty?
We caught up with Kristen Johnston (of 3rd Rock From the Sun fame) at Christian Siriano's fashion show in NYC,and she told us, "I took Paula Abdul's part on Ugly Betty. She was going to do a part on Ugly Betty that I'm doing. I just shot my first episode, the premiere, last week. They wanted me to be this girl who dresses much younger than she is. She goes out clubbing, and she's 40. So I have these La Lohan ripped black tights up and the shorts and then we did--and this was my touch--I was like what if she's stuck in like 1994 and she listens to like only the Cardigans? So we did the dark pink [lip liner] and then the frosted lipstick."

Meredith in Sylvania, Ohio: Sons of Anarchy has been great this season! What's to come?
This week's episode of Sons of Anarchy is fantastic. There's a particularly rough (and poignant) scene between Gemma and Clay--you may join Gemma in crying--and if you're a Jax-Tara fan, this is the ep for you. Their relationship is developing rapidly, and the episode is bookended by some great scenes. The first one is sweet, and the last one is dirty hot.

Edwina in Cape Coral, Fla.: My David Duchovny fix is almost here! Do you have any Californication scoop to spill?
Attention, casting director: If you are looking for a celebrity scion to play an edgy twentysomething on your show, please pass over Demi Moore's daughter Rumer Willis in favor of Susan Sarandon's kid, Eva Amurri. Eva's a darn good little actress and, as you will see for yourself if you watch the show, she also has a great rack. Amurri and Ed Westwick play creative-writing students taking Hank's class, and Westwick does very witty un-Chuck-Bassian turn as a high-strung vampire wannabe.

Josefina in Los Angeles: Please tell us what you can about the new season of Medium!
Us longtime fans have nothing to fear. We've seen the premiere and it's the same creative show we've always loved. The season opener is set about four months after Allison's surgery, and she still hasn't regained her power or the full use of her left side. Luckily, she stops by the D.A.'s office where she stumbles into a new mystery that helps her resolve both those problems. (Medium returns Friday at 9 p.m. on CBS.)

Friday Night Lights - Season 4 Press Release

2009-09-11T20:57:00.005+01:00

IT’S EAST VS. WEST, LIONS VS. PANTHERS WHEN FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS RETURNS FOR SEASON FOUR OCTOBER 28th ONLY ON DIRECTV’S THE 101 NETWORK

The Critically Acclaimed Drama Will Air Commercial-free Every Wednesday at 9 p.m.

Viewers will meet the East Dillon Lions when the fourth season of the critically acclaimed and Emmy-winning drama series Friday Night Lights premieres October 28 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on DIRECTV’s The 101 Network. Executive Producer Peter Berg (“Hancock”) will direct the season premiere, returning to the series as director for the first time since directing the show’s pilot in 2006. Four new additions to the cast, as well as the returning characters, will be central to the fourth and fifth seasons of the show.

Expanding on the hit feature film and best-selling book “Friday Night Lights,” the award-winning show centers on life in Dillon, Texas, where high school football brings the community together — and the drama of small town life threatens to tear it apart. As season four opens, a redistricting plan has left Dillon a town divided. Having been ousted from his role as head coach at Dillon High School, Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) finds himself faced with the daunting task of building a football team from scratch as well as motivating and disciplining the unmanageable East Dillon Lions players. Tensions follows Coach Taylor off the field and into the home as he and Tami (Connie Britton), who remains Principal of West Dillon High, find themselves increasingly at odds with one another and the adversarial roles the redistricting has forced upon them. As one of the main proponents of redistricting Dillon, Tami bears the brunt of criticism from very unhappy parents and students who have been zoned out of West Dillon and into less desirable East Dillon.

“This season opener is practically a pilot in itself. It puts Coach Taylor at the center of the action in a new school, with a new team, and many new challenges,” said executive producer Jason Katims. “In addition to the returning cast, we are introducing a host of new characters who will become integral to the fourth and fifth season of the show.”

An integral member of the newly formed East Dillon Lions is Vince (All My Children alum Michael B. Jordan), whose incredible speed positions him as the Lions best, and possibly only, hope despite his undisciplined skills and unpredictable temper. Vince quickly finds himself at odds with the team’s new pretty boy and rising star player Luke (Lipstick Jungle’s Matt Lauria). The running back held great promise playing with the Dillon Panthers, however, due to the redistricting lines he is now forced to play for the East Dillon Lions. Other newcomers include Jess (Jurnee Smollett, The Great Debaters), the daughter of a onetime NFL hopeful, who is an expert in the sport and will prove to be a crucial part of the new East Dillon team; and Becky, played by newcomer Madison Burge. Becky is a fifteen-year-old beauty queen who isn’t afraid to use her looks to get what, and who, she wants and quickly establishes herself at the top of the East Dillon social hierarchy.

The upcoming fourth season will also focus on the fate of several returning characters including last season’s graduates Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch), Lyla Garrity (Minka Kelly), and Matt Saracen (Zach Gilford) as well as Julie Taylor (Aimee Teegarden) and Landry Clark (Jesse Plemons), whose lives have also been affected by the town’s redistricting. Additionally, Coach Taylor finds himself further troubled by a new rivalry with his former team, the Dillon Panthers, headed up by his replacement Wade Aikman (Drew Waters) and the man who masterminded his downfall, Joe McCoy (D.W Moffett).

Latest from Ausiello - Various Shows

2009-08-27T08:42:00.002+01:00

Question: Give us a House spoiler, please! —Zachary
Ausiello: Cuddy knows that House made imaginary love to her last May. “It’s referenced in an upcoming episode,” House boss David Shore tells me. “She’s aware of it and she confronts him. She wants to know where all that stands.” That makes two of us.

Question: How long will Cameron and Chase hang on to their old jobs on House? —Jeff
Ausiello: “We don’t have a specific end in mind,” says Shore. “It appears to be temporary, but [there's] no specific end date.”

Question: What’s in store for Jane Krakwoski’s Jenna on 30 Rock this season? —Kimberly
Ausiello: Her career will literally start sucking when she lands the female lead in a second-rate Twilight franchise. “For tax reasons, they shoot it in Iceland and then they realize the sun doesn’t set,” explains exec producer Robert Carlock. “So they’re shooting a vampire movie without having light.” Genius.

Question: Thanks for the Bones scoopage last week, but it still hasn’t quenched my thirst. Got any more juicy gossip for me? —Bree
Ausiello: Here are two scoops about the Sept. 17 season premiere: The episode features a time jump that’s longer than two weeks but less than six months. And an MRI holds the answer to one of the show’s biggest questions.

Question: Is Roxie gone for good on Bones? I hope so. I want Angela with Hodgins. —Claire
Ausiello: “Rosie is out of the picture for now,” confirms series creator Hart Hanson, who adds that “Angela and Hodgins belong together every bit as much as Booth and Brennan — perhaps more. And they will get there. But it’ll be a rough, rough road.”

Question: Stop resisting the temptation and tell us: What does Chuck say after he kisses another guy on Gossip Girl? —KB
Ausiello: He says… Nope, can’t do it. Sorry.

Question: Please calm the storm in the Gossip Girl fandom and tell us if Chuck is going to be bisexual? —Bev
Ausiello: I’ll say this: The comment Chuck makes post-smooch… Nope, can’t do it. Sorry.

Question: où as tu appris le Français? ça fait bizzare et plaisir à la fois de te lire répondre à Xav. —Guillaume (un autre fan de Gossip Girl Français)
Ausiello: Je pense à prendre mes vacances de Noël en France. Tu pourrais me trouver un hébergement gratuit (et de préférence luxueux)?

Question: Anything else you can share about Chuck’s big kiss on Gossip Girl? —Nick
Ausiello: Scandal! The hottie he macks on has played gay before! Former soap star Neal Bledsoe recently shot a guest appearance on Californication as Hank’s vampire-lit loving student. His episode airs Oct. 4. (Not sure if he gets to first base with David Duchovny, but for the purposes of this story, let’s assume he does.)

Question: How about some Lie to Me bits? —Kate
Ausiello: The show will gradually delve into Lightman and Gillian’s burgeoning relationship. “That’s something we want to take slow,” says exec producer Shawn Ryan. “There is something between Cal and Gillian, and we’ll [explore] what those feelings are. I don’t want to promise we’ll necessary act on them right away, or even ever.”

Question: I read somewhere that Lightman is going to go “undercover” at a singles mixer on Lie to Me early in the season. What other aliases will he take on to trick his subjects this season? —Jenny
Ausiello: A former frat boy, a wannabe father at a fertility clinic, and an underworld hitman, to name just a few.

Question: I was wondering if you had any Heroes scoop — preferably anything on Ali Larter’s character, Tracy. —Jason
Ausiello: In keeping with the season’s “Redemption” theme, “Tracy goes back to her old life working on the Hill, only to discover that she’s no longer driven by the same shallow rewards,” explains series creator Tim Kring. “She wants to make a difference in peoples’ lives.”

Question: Any word from your Friday Night Lights mole whether Kim Dickens will be back for any of Zach Gilford’s final seven episodes? She killed as Shelby last season and it’d be nice to see more Matt and mom bonding moments. —Mike
Ausiello: I’m told Kim will be back for at least two episodes. And I couldn’t agree more: Kim brought her A-game to FNL last season.

Question: Do you have any info on Drea de Matteo’s Desperate Housewives character? I heard some weeks ago that she was going to be a troublemaking vixen with an Edie-like personality. But the newest spoilers suggest she’s nothing like Edie. What’s the deal? —Addip
Ausiello: Let’s ask Marc Cherry. “I don’t see Drea as a replacement for Nicolette [Sheridan],” he says. “Her character is more a replacement for Neal [McDonough] in that she’s [the focus] of the new mystery.” Cherry goes on to describe Drea’s matriarch, Angie Bolen, as “a very loving but tough Italian woman who comes [to Wisteria Lane] with her husband and her kid. They’re running from something. We understand through her actions in the first couple of episodes that she’s a smart woman who will do what she has to to protect her family.”

Question: How about some Desperate Housewives‘ scoop about Bree’s romance with Karl. —M
Ausiello: Poor Orson won’t catch on to his wife’s affair — at least not at first. “We’re going to play him just not understanding what’s going on,” explains Cherry. “He finally gets wind of it and it’ll build to a shocking conclusion in our 10th episode. We’ve got an interesting cliffhanger involving the threesome.”

Question: I heard that Torchwood’s John Barrowman met with Desperate Housewives about a role. True? —Cody
Ausiello: Marc Cherry did meet with Barrowman, but “there is nothing specific planned at the present time,” says a Housewives insider. “But Marc is a huge admirer of [John's] work… and would be thrilled to have him on the show.”

Question: Will the Abby and McGee relationship go anywhere on NCIS this season? —Marysia
Ausiello: “There could be a little bit of “McAbby” this season in a very unexpected way,” teases exec producer Shane Brennan. “There is definitely some very interesting relationship things that are going to happen between them.”

Question: Do you have any spoilers about Supernatural? —Tracey
Ausiello: You’ll be thrilled to hear that Sam and Dean’s inability to maintain meaningful long-term relationships with the opposite sex will continue throughout season 5. “We’ve returned to a conceit that works for us and that the fans seem to be able to swallow without vomiting, which is that there’s a girl in every port,” says series creator Eric Kripke. “We certainly have a lot of guest star female love interests that the boys help save and interact with. But at the moment, there are no plans for a longstanding romantic relationships.”

Question: Anything you can share about next Monday’s Weeds season finale? —James
Ausiello: There’s a cliffhanger, and it comes out of nowhere. (A hint can be found in the title of a song from Legally Blonde: The Musical.)

Friday Night Lights - Show Casts a Lolita

2009-08-21T00:04:00.001+01:00

A Friday Night Lights insider tells me the addition of pretty newcomer Madison Burge as Becky the beauty pageant princess will cause scandal in a storyline involving Tami Taylor and Tim Riggins. That's an interesting threesome, ain't it?

Becky comes from a working class family and is raised by a single mom. She uses her looks to get what she wants. And when that fails, she can always fall back on her charm and humor. It's logical to assume that Tami will be her principal. But since Becky's only fifteen, what could she possibly be doing with Tim Riggins?

Friday Night Lights - Latest from Kristin

2009-08-18T13:09:00.000+01:00

Casey in Palm Springs, Calif.: I know they don't start shooting Friday Night Lights until September, but have you heard anything else about the new season? I'm obsessed!
So are we. Check out our juicy tidbits about FNL from last week's Spoiler Chat. If that doesn't satisfy your cravings, read on. We spoke exclusively with Aimee Teegarden (Julie Taylor), and she shared her vision for season four: "I really hope there's a dance this season, because we've never actually had a real prom! I want a corsage. I want a dress. I want the family pictures. I want the whole shebang." Who would be Julie's date? "Matt Saracen could take me. They could still go to prom together, right? I would have to ask him though. I think that's how it works when your date is not in high school." We asked her if she had much creative input on what happens in the show. "Sometimes I talk to [executive producer] Jason Katims, and say, 'Julie needs to do this.' And then it'll be written in. It's really funny," Aimee said. Excellent, we would love to see Matt and Julie break it down on the dance floor!
