Question: AnyGleescoop?
Ines
Ausiello:Im hearing a major character (a series regular!)
will find himself/herself in aliterallife-and-death situation in this seasons third episode.
The last time I was on the show, [Burt] threw Finn out of the house.
There [may] be some resolution there.
Im hoping that Finn and Burt are able to cross that chasm.
Ashley
Ausiello:Actually, Jane Lynch tells it exactly the same way I did.Snap.
Question: WillGleeever cast Rachels two gay dads?
Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick are my top picks!
Kim L
Ausiello:Series creator Ryan Murphy sounds doubtful.
Though people always ask me to do that…I dont know that we ever will.
Maybe hell go with Lea Micheles idea.
I havent decided how Im going to do that.
Question: Got anyGreys Anatomyscoop concerning the Alex/Lexie/Mark triangle?
Maura
Ausiello:Yepsaid triangle no longer exists!
At the end of the season Alex was asking for Izzie, Shonda Rhimes reminds me.
And shes very clear on that by the time the [season premiere] is over.
Question: Some news about the future of Josh Holloway in television?
I thought so, too!
And I was like, no way, dont even go there… because I loveThe Rockford Files.
And I thought Ken [Leung] would be great for [Rockfords sidekick].
I would have loved that show.
But I wanted to give movies a shot, so I never even pursued it.
But that was April.
Fingers crossed Holloway is having a change of heart.
Question: Is it too early to get any plot-relatedBig Lovescoop?
Rachael
Ausiello:Its sure not.
Ex-president Gregory Itzin tells us that his senator character and newly elected Bill will butt heads.
But, he adds, I dont know how long that will last.
Question: SomeGossip Girlscoop regarding Rufus and Lily, c’mon.
Theyre my favorite couple, and weve heard nothing about them.
Cue World War III.
Question: I fell in love with Dan and Vanessa last season onGossip Girl.
Needless to say, Dans out-of-nowhere signs about Serena in the finale threw me for a loop.
just say Dan and Vanessa arent over for good as a couple.
Sarah
Ausiello:Im guessing itsnotover, since they move in together in episode 3!
Question: Got anything onBrothers & Sisters?
Tim
Question: What happened to Duck onMad Men?
Karen
Ausiello:I have a sneaking suspicion well find out in this Sundays episode.
I think the showishim, he says.
Could a show calledMad MenexistwithoutMatt Weiner?
It wouldnt be theMad Menthat we know and care about.
Hopefully everything will get worked out soon, and I will get the phone call saying so.
Your move, Ausiello.
Matt
Ausiello:Backawayfrom the doll!
[Beat] Take another step back.
[Beat] Youre still too close.
[Beat] Okay, thats good.
Marshall and Lily waste no time starting Project Concepcion.
Im not saying its going to be pornographic, but we are going to dig right into Attempt No.
Were going to join them at the very beginning of that journey.
In otherHIMYMnews…wedding scoop!
Question: Im in desperate need of someWeedsscoop, especially regarding Andy!
Kristen
Ausiello:Someones about to get gang-spanked, and that someone is Andy.
Question: hey tell me some good30 Rockscoop!
Cindy
Ausiello:Would you settle for good-ish?
Is it racist of me to assume this probably involves Tracy?
I have no idea how to set my DVR!
Miss:$#*!
My Dad Says(CBS) andHellcats(The CW).
Darla
Ausiello:Thereisgood news: Series creator Andrew W. Marlowe confirms that theywillhook upeventually.
But I dont think the characters are ready to go to that level now.
We still have a lot of storytellinga lot of near missesleft to explore and play with.
In many ways, Beckett is still a mystery to Castle.
I think the fun of the series is watching them do that dance.
And the dance can continue evolving to the point where they can be in a relationship.
I just dont think theyre ready for that right now.
Thats sorta good news, right?!
Question: Got anyCastlescoop for us?
Jennifer
Ausiello:Theres a somewhat significant death in the second episode.
Im also hearing something about Castle revealing his REAL name.
Question: Thanks for the scoop about Monet Mazur (Gina) returning inCastles fifth episode.
Can you tell us anything else about the episode?
What brings her back?
Heather
Ausiello:Per Marlowe, Castle has to attend a charity event that Ginas throwing thats honoring her.
The theme of the episode is the things we do for love.
Question: Many fans ofThe Officeare concerned that Pam dated Timothy Olyphants character post-Roy and pre-Jim.
Is this the case?
Is Jim just finding out about it now?
Matt
Ausiello:Yes to all of the above!
According to executive producer Paul Lieberstein, Pam dated Olyphant while Jim was with Karen.
It bothers him a little.
Question: You tell us that Erica Durance is playing Isis onSmallvilleand you dont elaborate?
Steve
Ausiello:Do youstillnot understand how this works?
Ausiello TV is where the seed gets planted, and Ask Ausiello is where we watch the flower grow.
Put another way, Ausiello TV is the foreplay to Ask Ausiellos full-on shag.
So whaddaya say we get down to business?
Its an inhabitation story, explains exec producer Brian Peterson of the Lois-Isis connection.
Lois is actually going to be possessed by the spirit of Isis.
Was it good for you, Steve?
BTW, quick clarification:Smallvilles Isis isnt the DC Comics character Isis.
Its the Egyptian goddess Isis with anodto the DC Isis.
Good, now explain it to me.
Question: Anything on Chloes return yet onSmallville?
Its a great wrap-up to her character, and it also dovetails into the Chloe/Oliver relationship.
Question: I havelovedthis season ofBurn Noticeso far, and Im totally digging the addition of Coby Bell.
But last weeks episode has me wondering: Now that (SPOILER ALERT!)
Jesse knows that Michael burned him, what will become of Mr. Bell?
Kristina
Ausiello:Hell be back for the second half of the season, dont you worry.
In the meantime, Jesse makes a choice in this weeks finale that will affect Michael in amajorway.
In possibly related news, the cliff-hanger finds Michael in the most perilous situation weve ever seen him in.
And this dudes been in some seriously perilous situations.
He gets meaner and ruthlesser.
Regarding his recent upgrade to series regular, Cumming says the biggest difference is I get paid more.
And I sort of have an idea of where my character is going now.
[Before] I had no idea what was going to happen.
The next week I couldve been a murderer.
Question: What are the chancesChuckwill get a back-nine order?
Im freaking out over here!
Eric
Ausiello:I assumed exec producers Chris Fedak and Josh Schwartz would be too.
As Schwartz points out, We never started a season with more than 13 episodes.
Adds Fedak: Episode 13 no matter what will be epic.
