We Preview the Shocking Heart-stopping Return of THE WALKING DEAD Season 2
2012-02-12 23:28:00 Who knew that surviving an apocalypse would be a never-ending nightmare? When Sheriff Rick Grimes first awoke to find out that the world he knew was gone and just about everyone along with it, he was intent on only finding his family. The first season saw Rick reunited with his wife and son, and they have been on the run and fighting for their lives ever since. Joined in their struggle to survive and hunted by the infected “walkers,” are a disjointed crew of fellow survivors: Shane, Dale, Andrea, Glenn, T-Dog, Daryl, and Carol. Up until the mid-season finale last November, it was also believed that Carol’s daughter Sophia still lived and they had led a desperate search to locate her before it was too late. Horrifyingly, when we last saw THE WALKING DEAD survivors, they were blazing away taking out the walkers from Hershel’s barn only to find their long-lost Sophia stepping out. Her shuffling appearance stopped the rain of bullets in an instant as everyone ... More About: Dead
Tale As Old As Time: ONCE UPON A TIME Guest Star Emilie de Ravin Teases Her
2012-02-12 18:40:00 In another modern twist of the classic story of “The Beauty and the Beast,” ONCE UPON A TIME introduces us to a whole new version of the young ingenue Belle and her sacrifice to save her family. It also spins a tale of how Belle befriends Rumplestiltskin and invites him to see his new existence as more than an imprisonment behind the mask he is forced to wear. In an exclusive interview, Emilie de Ravin provided a quick preview into who Belle is and the complexities of the Belle/Rumplestiltskin relationship. What was the one thing you were really struck by or enjoyed about portraying Belle? EMILIE: It was a few things. It was a big departure than anything I’ve done, which I always love and try to do; and really just being able to create this old world character, but also a very renown character that people know. It was also nice to sort have the freedom from portraying an actual person — there was the freedom to give her differences of her own perso...

Mark Sheppard and Gina Holden Preview Syfy’s JULES VERNE’S MYSTERIOUS I
2012-02-11 21:59:00 The world of sci-fi takes viewers to the far corners of the universe, and sometimes it explores the creepy and mysterious here on Earth. One of the first authors to explore terrestrial horizons and challenge our imaginations was Jules Verne. To share a bit about their experience bringing JULES VERNE’S MYSTERIOUS ISLAND to life, stars Mark Sheppard and Gina Holden chatted with press in a recent conference call about the film and the lure of sci-fi in their careers. Mark, once again you and your father are playing the younger and older versions of the same character. What was it like working with your dad on this project especially with it being your directorial debut? MARK: Well, I’ve actually directed him before in a short film, so it’s a lot of fun to work with him. My dad is a truly gifted actor and a lot of fun to play with. But we take every chance that we can get. I mean that’s the best answer I can give you is any chance we get to work together we take it. It...

2012-02-10 22:37:00 Best Argument Against Prop 8: Ensuring the episode lived up to HAPPY ENDINGS namesake was the ridiculously romantic culmination of Wednesday’s Valentine’s Day-themed episode featuring Max’s boyfriend Grant played by special guest star James Wolk.

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Questions with COUGAR TOWN Creator Bill Lawrence
2012-02-10 19:14:00 If the upcoming third season of COUGAR TOWN should turn out to be the ABC comedies swan song, it sure as heck won’t be due to a lack of effort on co-creator Bill Lawrence ’s part. For Lawrence, who developed the cult favorite alongside Kevin Biegel has spent the better part of the past month masterminding a grass-roots promotional campaign that has included everything from Paley Festival panels and Podcast appearances to multiple parties across the country including an unofficial open bar at the recent Television Critics Association Press Tour in Pasadena. Which is precisely where we had the pleasure of catching up with Lawrence to find out, among other things, his odds for COUGAR TOWN seeing a season 4. See for yourself, after the jump. What can you tease about this upcoming third season? Bill Lawrence: Tuesday’s premiere kind of shapes the whole season. Once we knew we were going to be a midseason show, which was fairly early on, we quickly shifted gears and made... More About: Creator , Town
Wedded Bliss Or Miss?
2012-02-10 18:24:00 If you’re a Lane fan, you don’t need us to tell you that Valentine’s Day is going to be a very special occasion for one couple on THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS. And if you have no clue what a Lane is… well, meet Cane Ashby and his true love, Lily Winters, who next week will be giving marriage another go. “They’ve had their problems in the past,” says Soaps In Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms of the pair. “Mainly because Cane has had what you might call Pinocchio syndrome in the past. He’s told a few whoppers.” For example? “Well, there was the time he pretended to be dead,” says the editor. “Turned out, it was the twin brother viewers had never know about who literally bit the bullet.” The most unusual twist in that particular tale? “Cane began appearing to Lily, and she thought she was seeing a ghost. Viewers did too, because we didn’t know he had a twin. Oh, and then, Lily had sex with him.” Hold up. Lily had sex with her dead hubby? “W... More About: Miss

Dispatches From The Couch
2012-02-10 14:38:00 Hey, advertising execs. Over here. On the couch. I know you’re pretending not to see me, because I’m… well, let’s just say I’m outside of your precious 18-34 year-old demo and leave it at that, shall we? But here’s the thing. Did you see that new report that came out this week? The one from Nielsen saying that those 12-34 are watching less television than ever even as folks 35 and up are watching more? I can’t help wondering if you’re starting to regret that whole “let’s declare young people the rulers of the TV landscape and cater only to them” decision y’all made a while back. You know, the one that made total household number basically irrelevant when weighed against the AID (or all-important demographic). And while I’ve got your attention, I’ve got another question for you. Now, I don’t wanna imply that you folks don’t know how to do your jobs, but… um, maybe I do. Because somehow, you’ve been duped into letting networks set their a...

Join The GENERAL HOSPITAL B.A.N.D.!
2012-02-03 17:48:00 Thanks to falling ratings, a decimated soap line-up and the looming threat that is Katie Couric, it’s no secret that GENERAL HOSPITAL — the lone remaining daytime drama on ABC’s once-powerful line-up — is in danger. Fans already mourning last year’s loss of ONE LIFE TO LIVE and ALL MY CHILDREN are praying for a miracle… and they’re getting help from several sources. “The show just hired Ron Carlivati, who was widely praised for his amazing work on OLTL over the past few years, to take over GH,” says Soaps In Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms. “And Frank Valentini, who was the executive producer at LIFE, has come over as well. So there’s a whole new, exciting, creative and — perhaps most important all — hopeful vibe where the show is concerned.” But hope ain’t gonna boost the ratings, as has been proven time and again. “This is a really tough time to be a soap fan,” admits Simms. “It’s just shocking how many shows have been taken away.

Portraying Nick’s partner, Hank, who is not gifted with the special sight or even the knowledge that such creatures exist, Russell Hornsby has the unique challenge of remembering that his character is unaware of this supernatural world. In an exclusive interview, Russell candidly shared what he thinks of the show’s success and what he likes the most about playing Detective Hank Griffin in GRIMM.

In an exclusive interview, Xander Berkeley shared whether he thinks Percy is a villain at-heart and whether there is hope for a future relationship between Percy and Amanda on NIKITA. This has been an absolutely fascinating season of NIKITA. With Percy, it feels like he’s got a bit of a “Silence of the Lambs” kind of story going on. It is very chilling and it seems like he is unpredictable even though he has been boxed up. Can you talk about what you’ve been enjoying about do that kind of captivity role for this past season?

But then I came out to Los Angeles and did Wicked for a couple of years, started to do a few spots on television and I kind of got bitten by the bug.
