Question: So whats this bigDenny-related storyonGreysthatcouldbut mightnotopen the door for Katherine Heigl to leave the show?

Rather, it pertains to a very dark day in Izzies professional career that rears its ugly head again.

Question: How long is Melissa Georges contract for?

Not too long, I hope Greysis already too bloated.

As for the bloating…well, they work in a hospital.

BrendaAusiello:She debuts Nov. 13, and her Dr. Virginia Dixon character has something in common with aBonesregular.

Question: Mary McDonnells name has been ominously left off the list of the actors appearing in theBattlestar Galacticamovie.

Is this a sign that our favorite president doesnt survive the end of the series?

BrittanyAusiello:It could be interpreted in any number of ways.

Then, copping to a bit of post-Battlestardepression, she admitted, Its still difficult.

Its wonderful to be back in L.A. and not be commuting [from Vancouver].

The practical lifestyle part of it has been great.

But I miss everyone terribly.

Ending that show was excruciating; it was really hard to finish.

It was such a glorious experience.

Not to mention a creatively satisfying one right up till the end.

It didnt just drift off.

Question:Fringescoop, just!

While the team is investigating a series of weird-ass robberies, one of the major players gets kidnapped.

Question: I heard that there are going to be multiple deaths in an episode ofOne Tree Hill.

AnaAusiello:I can confirm at least one death.

As for moreOTHcharacters being killed off in the present, I can only hope.

Question: This seasonsDexteris a little flat.

Any spoilers you’ve got the option to tell us to inflate it?

KristenAusiello:Yeah, Ive sent back diet soda that has as little fizz as this season.

But maybe thingsll get shaken up next week when Dexters dad tries to talk him out of trusting Miguel.

Question: Is theCriminal Mindsspin-off still going to happen?

The project is still in a holding pattern.

L*** and Clark.

Question:Pleeeasetell me that Katie Holmes will be back onEli Stonesometime in the (hopefully near) future!

JennAusiello:Would you settle for me telling you that shellprobablybe back?

Were waiting on a back-nine [pickup order], executive producer Marc Guggenheim tells me.

But as long as we can make the schedules work out, I think shes open to it.

She had a great time.

Question:Desperate Housewivesscoop?

KaraAusiello:Some people say like.

And some scoop fiends give you what you want even when you dont.

Question: hey post more news aboutThe Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Its one of my favorite shows and deserves more press.

Also, c’mon visit the set and interview the cast.

MerieAusiello:Ill get right on that, boss.

In the meantime, youll have to settle for this scoop: Someone is keeping a secret.

And since I know who it is, I guess I am, too.

Question: I absolutely love theSarah Connor Chronicles.

Do you have any info about it?

ShannonAusiello:As a matter of fact, I do.

But I wont be posting it until tomorrow, so keep checking back.

Well, my Hawaii mole reports that he was shooting scenes in a hospital with Charles Widmore.

Question: Holy crap!

The season finale ofMad Menwas outstanding!

The scene between Pete and Peggy, in particular, was amazing.

Do you have any idea what we can expect for season 3?

How long will we have to wait?!

ElizabethAusiello:Im guessing at least a year, probably longer.

Theres no crisis, he maintained.

I have every intention of being part of this show forever.

But I might start the day before it.

Question: I found thislinkwith a petition to savePushing Daises.

Maybe you’re free to put it out there for your readers.

(Think of the eppy as sort of an unofficialSavannah Smilessequel.)

But wait, theres more:Fireflybadass Gina Torres has signed up to play Emersons ex-wife.

Question: HasPushing Daisiesended the storyline with Paul Reubens?

I was a little confused from where they left off last season to where they started this season.

Did Chuck reveal her secret to him?

Will Pee-wee be back for another adventure?

ChrisAusiello:Ended is the wrong word.

Maybe delayed is more like it.

I love Paul Reubens, and I love the character Oscar Vibenius, EP Bryan Fuller tells me.

And I encourage you to write ABC and tell them how much you love him, too.

See what I mean?

Ended was totally the wrong word.

Question: I think were due for a Keri Russell update.

IngridAusiello:You read my mind.

My reigning BFF has joined the cast of the comedic thrillerLeaves of Grass.

Keri costars as a woman one of the twins is intrigued with.

Who can blame him?

Question: Thanks for the scoop last week aboutThe Unitmaking Nicole Steinwedell (Bridget) a series regular.

How long before she starts canoodling with one of the guys?

SamAusiello:Thats a question for executive producer Shawn Ryan.

So hey, I know!

I dont know yet is the most honest answer I can give you, he answers.

Obviously, our guys find time for romance, but well never do anything that feels unprofessional.

Question: Will we be getting more background on Zivas bare-chested mystery man anytime soon onNCIS?

Ducky will face the biggest emotional challenge of his life in an upcoming episode, he teases.

And yes, we will take a revealing peek into his private life.

Question:Chuckis awesome.

Why arent more folks watching?

Is NBC going to be patient and let the shows audience grow as it did withThe Office?

BradAusiello:Most people are stupid.

Thats why the ratings suck.

But by all accounts, NBC is sticking by the show.

They really believe in it, says exec producer Josh Schwartz.

Picking up the show for the full 22 episodes before we even aired was a sign of faith.

SelectingChuckto do the 3-D episode was another sign of faith.

So go ahead and exhale, Brad.

Josh said it was Okay.

Question: AnyChuckscoop?Pweeeease?

NicolaAusiello:Brads going to like this, too.

Were always talking about how far you’re able to take them…and how quickly.

Question: Must be the thousandth time Ive asked.

But any scoop onWithout a Trace?

LilyAusiello:You know what they say, Lily: The thousandth times the charm.

Michelle Rodriguez, call your agent… Till then, you may be able to get a little fix of it by watching an upcomingEli Stone.

(Also, both series are produced by ABC Studios.)

Its not quite anEli StoneReapercrossover, but its probably as close as Ill come, Guggenheim continues.

The scene doesnt actually take place at the store.

Shes coming home from work when shes arrested, and shes wearing her Work Bench apron.

I thought that would be a nice little Easter egg for people.

And it isnt even Halloween yet!

Question:Reaperscoop, yo!

Yeah,thatllgo well.

Phew, that was a long one!

All this chatter about aMelrose Placereboot mustve put me in a generous mood.

Or maybe its the fact that Lauren Graham is going to bemy neighbor.Either way,heres my e-mail address.

Use it to send questions, hot (and anonymous) tips, and other assorted nonsense.

See you back here next week!
