24
Audrey Raines will play a pivotal role this season, albeit an invisible one. Kiefer Sutherland explain: “She’s not a physical presence, but the damage of losing her absolutely [impacts] why Jack might not be able to engage on an emotional level with other people. It adds a huge sense of loss that informs almost everything he does.” Kiefer doesn’t rule out the possibility of Audrey returning in the flesh next season. (Michael Ausiello)
30 Rock
St. Valentine’s Day – Airing February 12
Not realizing it’s going to be a holiday, Liz insists she and Drew have their first official date on Valentine’s Day; Kenneth tries to win the affections of a new staffer. (SpoilerTV)
90210
This season’s 19th episode (airing in April) will be must-see-worthy for two reasons: It marks Tori Spelling’s return as Donna and features the arrival of Dixon’s estranged mother. (Michael Ausiello)
Big Love
Expect some rather medium-sized complications on Big Love when Ana’s ex returns looking to rekindle their relationship. (Michael Ausiello)
Brothers and Sisters
Executive producer Monica Breen talking about Matt Letscher joining the show. His charming, down-to-earth character will become a “serious complication” for the new parents Kitty and Robert. “He comes to represent what she doesn’t have with Robert,” she explains. “It leads Kitty to think about the status of her marriage and what she wants from her marriage.” (Michael Ausiello)

Chuck
Jordana Brewster’s returning as Chuck’s ex Jill in the season finale! (Michael Ausiello)
Executive producer Josh Schwartz is hesitant to use the words “game changing” to describe this season’s final batch of episodes — even though it’s wholly appropriate. “Everyone uses that term,” he harrumphs. “Let’s call it show changing. Or Chuck changing…Let’s just say someone is going to start figuring out the truth in Chuck’s world.” Schwartz adds that he’s cramming “three seasons worth of stories into the next 10 episodes,” in part because there’s no guarantee the show will see a third season. “We’re leaving nothing on the table,” he says. “We’re taking nothing for granted. We’re going for it.” (Michael Ausiello)
CSI: New York
Executive producer Peter Lenkov promises “an early Valentine’s Day gift to the viewers,” one that “will make Danny and Lindsay fans very happy.” (TV Guide)
Desperate Housewives
Remember how it was Tom’s dream to open an Italian restaurant, and how begrudgingly Lynette went along with the idea? Well, apparently now he has a different dream — and that’s to sell it. That, in turn, gives Lynette a dream — for Tom to jump back into the legit ad game. (TV Guide)

The show is casting the possibly recurring role of an “unassumingly cute” 16-year-old male. (Michael Ausiello)
