Hallelujah, TV fans! Our favorite shows are finally getting back into gear after the long, dreary hiatus.

Grey's Anatomy mastermind Shonda Rhimes just tweeted, "We had the first table read yesterday! It went great. It was wonderful to see everyone after hiatus!" Who can resist such positivity?! We're excited, too, to turn over a new leaf and put all the old G.A. offscreen drama behind us and get back to enjoying one of the most entertaining medical shows on TV.

In that spirit, network sources have just confirmed that a familiar face will be returning to the show this season. Who is it? Read on to find out and get our official rundown on who's doing what when G.A. returns...

Are subtitles not cool any more? Last night on Weeds a woman (Kate del Castillo) marched into Nancy Botwin's (Mary-Louise Parker) ill-gotten mansion and read her baby-daddy the riot act...in unsubtitled Spanish. We have no idea what she said, but it sounded mean.

Wentworth Miller is hitting the beat, even if his character isn't happy about it.

Joining Law & Order: Special Victims Unit this season as Nate Kendal, Miller's portraying a cop who plays it close to the chest, an area of his body he may just get shot in if he keeps up that attitude.

As seen in this sneak peek above, the new kid doesn't get along with the vets, and it seems Kendal's dislike for Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Stabler (Christopher Meloni) is only matched by their disdain for him.

Law & Order: Special Victims Units returns to NBC Sept. 23 at 9 p.m.

Welcome back to Real Housewife of New York Bethenny Frankel's exclusive blog about The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Bethenny's blogging exclusively for E! Online every week, dishing about the craziness that goes down with these Jersey girls. Here's her new installment, for last night's "Lost Footage" episode.

Take it away, Bethenny...

________________

This might possibly be the best episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey ever. I think it is because we got to see the ladies interact with their families more, and in completely organic situations. Just really enjoyable and fun to watch!

With that said, here I go again with my schizophrenic analysis of Teresa and Gia with regard to being a stage mom. Lip glaaaawsss and hot pants? Truth be told: They both love the attention. Gia could be the future Italian Shirley Temple. I made my own doctor's appointments at the age of 7, so I am not one to talk. It all seems a bit JonBenét to me.

Seriously, this is not just a big plug for our network. The Soup is...happiness.

It's no secret that we here at Watch With Kristin are a bit fanatical about good TV, and we tend to make our love of certain things widely known (think of Kristin's future husbands or Lost, etc.), so today we're here to hard-sell you on a show you are...no doubt already aware of: E!'s The Soup.

Our obsession with The Soup is partly the result of our undying love of resident E! stud Joel McHale, but it's also quite simply because of the greatness of what they're doing over there. And while we do happen to have inside knowledge of and/or the privilege of knowing the extremely hard-working people behind the scenes, we can only stress to you that that inside knowledge makes us think the show is that much more incredible.

So are you already an avid Soup watcher?

Do your Friday nights revolve around a hearty bowl of Chat Stew?

No? Then you are absolutely missing out on one of the best TV shows around. Read on to find out why you should watch and see some of what you've been missing!

Update, July 13, 11:20 a.m.: Hey guys, we just got a statement from Maura that explains a bit more about what's going on:

"In an effort to guard my privacy, it seems that the wording of NBC's press release has unfortunately caused some confusion and undue alarm about my health. I have discovered a tumor in my breast which requires surgery. I will not know either my exact diagnosis or course of treatment until that surgery is performed. My doctors have all assured me this is a very treatable condition. I'm very optimistic as to the outcome and want to thank everyone who has sent positive thoughts and support. I look forward to going back to work soon."

Megaceleb Katie Holmes is guesting on So You Think You Can Dance in two weeks in support of the newly established Dizzy Feet Foundation.
