Frank Ockenfels/ABC, Art Streiber/ABC, Mitchell Haaseth/NBC Thomas in Baltimore: Lost is back this week! Dish me!
Yeeha! Aside from our "Lost Week" video from the set in Hawaii, I can share this fascinating (I think) factoid: Someone we believed to be dead was just spotted shooting scenes in Hawaii last week. Guesses? You can get the answer in the spoiler section below...
Amanda in Utica, N.Y.: Do you have any news for fans of Lost's Jack?
Matthew Fox did Speed Racer press over the weekend, and when asked what he could spill about the Lost finale, he laughed and said: "It's going to be huge. We're in the middle of it right now, and it's huge, and there's many, many revelations and huge surprises and the year will end in a way that's just going to drive people crazy. In a good way!"
Randall in Santa Fe, N.M.: Grey's Anatomy returns this Thursday! What can you tell us?
That you Lost fans should be extra special grateful to the cast and crew of Grey's Anatomy, who are working basically around the clock in order to crank out a two-hour finale—so Lost can have its two-hour finale. (Lost gets an extra week to do their extra hour; Grey's does not.) So thank you Shonda and crew! Also, I have the word on the latest on Meredith and Derek and an actor who may be leaving, so keep reading...
Jamie in Skillman, N.J.: What's with all these Law & Order: SVU departures? Are they replacing Adam Beach and Diane Neal?!
No word yet on a new SVU detective to fill Adam Beach's slot, but the show is casting for a new ADA as we speak.
Marshall in Atlanta: The Office was so good last week! What's next for Jim and Pam?
A ring! It's gotta be, right, Jim?! According to Jenna Fischer, Pam has a secret that everyone will soon find out. Some kind of quirk that she'll get a lot of heat for. Any guesses as to what it might be? Here's hoping it's not any kind of proposal-breaker!
Marissa in Rhode Island: What's the latest on Rebecca and Justin on Brothers & Sisters?
The storyline is moving forward at warp speed! That's what I can tell you after sneaking a peek at what's in store for the next few episodes...Things will get messy—and messier—before you know it. Because of the strike, the writers are cramming a lot of storyline into the final batch of episodes, so there are more twists and turns for pretty much every major character. In the meantime, if you have any questions for the lovely and talented Emily VanCamp, please email them to me at tvdiva@eonline.com. She's coming in to our WWK headquarters this week!
Francis in Montreal: If you were lying about Barney having a new love interest on How I Met Your Mother, I may die. Please tell me you're serious!
Serious as a laser-tag attack. Keep reading, my friend.
Hazi in San Jose, Calif.: I would love to hear anything new about Burn Notice.
Sources tell me that the mystery of why Michael was burned might not be solved until season three!
Lynn in Manchester: Any news on Blood Ties yet? The fans are getting pretty desperate for any information you could give us.
I wish I had better news, tubers, but producer Randy Zalken tells me, "The more time that goes by the more difficult it becomes. Never out of sight, the series is very near and dear to us, and we appreciate all that the fans have done on the show's behalf." There is no other new news...I'm sorry. Now get over here for a group hug.
Flo from Argentina: Ugly Betty scoop, please!
Looks like an upcoming episode will involve a love triangle with…Daniel and Betty?! Also, look for Project Runway's Christian Siriano and Nina Garcia to make cameos in the same episode, and no, they are not involved in the love triangle!
SPOILERS
Thomas in Orlando: Is there going to be a resolution with Meredith and Derek? I don't know if I can take much more back and forth. Seriously!
I'm hearing that yes, there is a Mer-Der resolution before the season ends—praise Shonda!—and it looks as though they're heading for outright coupledom, but of course, it won't happen right away. Sources tell me that Derek and Rose are on a special (brain surgery, of course) hospital case for quite some time together when the show returns, and DeRose get pretty cozy, however their romantic connection won't survive the season, as sources tell me that Lauren Stamile (Rose) is being phased out of the show. Good news or bad news? You tell me! (And P.S.: For you who've asked, Ellen Pompeo did end up getting the house—as her guest house—that we both bid on, so if you have a refrigerator box, send it my way.)
Max in Rome: Lost!
Remember when the monster ate the pilot? Well, the show hasn't forgotten either: Greg Grunberg, aka Oceanic pilot Seth Norris, was in Hawaii last week filming scenes for the show...Whoo-hoo!
Francie in Pasadena, Calif.: Can you share Lost info, s'il vous plaît?
According to my sources, the Orchid Station, which we should finally see soon, may be a major set going into next season as well. I've personally decided that's because it is totally a time machine, but I've been known to talk crazy.
Lynne in Trenton, N.J.: There are a lot of rumors flying around about new Heroes characters for season three. Can you tell me anything concrete?
Expect an unlikable dude named Jesse to join the cast. Mean, angry and out of control is what I'm hearing about him.
Bobbie in Salem, Del.: Loved your Robin Sparkles stuff! Can't wait for the episode. Any more How I Met Your Mother scoop?
Yes, huge! Our long-standing suspicions regarding chemistry between Robin and Barney may soon be validated. I'm hearing the former Canadian pop star and the Barnana will be cuddling up a storm before the end of the month, in fact!
Claudia in Stockbridge, Mass.: Got any hot HIMYM scoop?
I have news about a tragic breakup. Brace yourselves, because, yes, Ted and Barney are over. I know, I know. I'm devastated, too. Of course, Barney, predictably, won't be single for long. In an upcoming ep called "Rebound Bro," he picks up a new wingman.
Adrianna in Gainsville, Fla.: I'm glad all the ABC shows are now back, but I still miss Dirty Sexy Money. Any scoop?
Word is, one of the Darlings goes on trial for the murder of Nick's dad when the series returns!
Kate in Syracuse, N.Y.: Yay! Bones is back! Need. Scoop. Now.
I just saw "The Baby in the Bough," and let me tell you, it lives up to its comedic potential. Booth and Brennan being in charge of a baby allows us to see a side of the squints we've never known before. Among other things: Angela gets baby fever, and Hodgins has an interesting (albeit untactful) way to fight that fever.
Nikki in Traverse City, Mich.: Any Entourage news?
The Wire's Domenick Lombardozzi, who you might remember as the boys' ex-con pal Dom, who Vince had to fire after the Shrek doll incident, is most definitely back this season. Word is, he may have learned his lesson and could be more likable this time around.
Deanna in Philadelphia: Last night's Desperate Housewives was awesome! Any clue as to how the season ends? Besides the potential time leap, of course!
The season ends with the wrap-up of Katherine Mayfair's mystery. But I'm also hearing we meet a new character by the name of Ken in the finale. He'll initially come off as the perfect, straight-laced husband type. However, sources say he’ll have something to do with next year's big mystery.
Kate in Marion, Ind.: I'm so glad Susan's baby is going to be OK. Thanks for the scoop!
Yes, healthwise he'll be fine. Unfortunately, there's another issue: Susan is letting Mike choose the kid's name, and it won't be pretty.
Paul in Franklin, Ky.: Mad Men is the best show on television, and I can't wait any longer to find out what's coming up. Please, can you help?
Sexy Joan has an honest-to-goodness boyfriend this season. As for the launch date of season two, we only know it's sometime in July 2008. However, I can tell you that, just as the story of season one ended on a holiday (Thanksgiving), season two begins on another nonreligious holiday. Guesses?
Susan Reinke in Sheboygan, Wis.: I am going to keep asking every week, Any Brucas hope on OTH? And if not, does it have anything to do with Sophia and CMM's real-life split?
No, and no. Sorry! But I'm pretty sure we haven't seen the last of Brooke's new love storyline...her wanting to adopt a baby. (As ridonkulous as that storyline is, I have to say, Sophia and the writers have carried it out well so far. Agree?)
Tessa in New Orleans: Any word on those fine boys over on Supernatural? I need my fix!
In the third season finale, Dean is not going to be able to get out of his contract—and I'm not talking about anything happening behind the scenes! You smarty-pants can explain what that means to the rest of the class in the comments below. (Hell-o! It's gonna be huge.)
Julie in Midland, Mich.: Reaper! It's so damn funny! Send me scoop, TV Diva!
Our boy Sock is getting a new love interest—of the succubus persuasion. Every time he kisses this new girl, he loses a year of his life. D'oh! Please make sure you watch Reaper tonight on the CW...I do love it so...
