ABC ended speculation about the fate of its spy drama Alias on Feb. 28 by announcing that it would return to the prime-time schedule on April 19 with a two-hour episode, starting at 8 p.m. ET/PT. ABC also released spoilers about the special episode, which will feature the birth of Sydney’s (Jennifer Garner) baby and the reappearance of Michael Vaughn (Michael Vartan).
You don’t want to miss the back-to-back episodes next Monday. Kim is back, as is Tony. We’ll also meet Kim’s new shrink friend (C. Thomas Howell), Logan’s VP (Ray Wise) and Henderson’s wife (JoBeth Williams).
Executive Producer Howard Gordon says he wants to take the show on the road — i.e., outside Los Angeles — next season. “We flirted with going to London last year for six episodes,” he says. “Not with Kiefer necessarily, but to tell another story in another part of the globe. That’s something that I would really love to try to do next year.”

May 7 will mark the 100th episode of Crossing Jordon. This episode will also be the season finale. Executive Producer Tim Kring gives some insight in to the season finale. “Someone the audience has gotten to know pretty well this year ends up dead, and Jordan is accused of the murder. We leave that as the cliff-hanger. She basically has to flee to prove her innocence.” This 100th episode will also feature a wedding.
There will be a new development in the ongoing Jordan-Woody romantic saga. “That gets closer,” Kring hints. “But, obviously, that’s put on hold by the fact that [Jordan] has become a fugitive.”
In other Jordan news, Kring also confirms that Ken Howard who played Jordan’s dad, Max Kavanaugh, will not be returning to the show. “We will not see Ken Howard again,” states Tim Kring. “The one occasion that we’ve had in the last two years to bring him back was not a successful enough episode for us to make that case to the network.”

I have been waiting for this show to come back. I really enjoyed the first season. Love him or hate him, Ramsay commands attention and is entertaining to watch.
