Aliens In America
In the March 16 episode, Justin is horrified to learn he is starring opposite his mom in a community theater production of Rent. Also, Raja and Claire have a fantastic romantic-like storyline coming up. [Kristin@E!Online]
Bones
Ryan O’Neal is returning for one of the two post-strike episodes. [Michael Ausiello]
Brothers and Sisters
Justin, Sarah, Kitty, Kevin and Tommy find out about Nora’s plans to pack up and move away with Isaac, and they’re a wee bit worried. [Michael Ausiello]
The show is doing a time jump, moving three months ahead of where we last saw the Walkers. [Kristin@E!Online]
The show is due back on April 20 with the first of four episodes. The issue of Rebecca’s paternity is “one of the main questions” that drives the final four episodes. There’s a shocking twist involving Rebecca and Justin “that no one is going to see coming.” [Michael Ausiello]
Desperate Housewives
New episodes return on April 13! According to Eva Longoria Parker, the show “starts back right where they left off, which is Carlos is blind and Gabby doesn’t know, so that’s going to evolve into something more with the last seven episodes that we have.” [Kristin@E!Online]
Entourage
The show isn’t backing down from its “Vince isn’t Eric’s only client” direction. This season, E will have a new assistant, who is as schlumpy and as charming as his low-rent office space. He has rebounded from the Anna Faris fiasco with a new client, an up-and-coming comedian who really wants to act. Plus, look for him to discover a hot script from an unlikely source: the managers of a topless bar. Speaking of gratuitous nudity, Ari will receive a visit from a pair of Chippendale’s-style dancers. [Michael Ausiello]
ER
NBC and Warner Brothers TV are reportedly close to a deal that would reduce ER’s license fees enough to keep the show going for a 15th season. The show plans to shoot four episodes for the fall immediately upon completing the original post-strike order for six. [Michael Ausiello]
Already, two recurring roles that would debut this spring and run into Season 15 are being filled: The Sopranos’ Aida Turturro has been cast as a car-accident victim, while Aussie hunk David Lyons is in talks to play a doctor lacking a conscience. [Michael Ausiello]
In the upcoming episode “Owner of a Broken Heart,” we learn that Gates and Sam had a close encounter of the hottest kind, but they agree to be sensible and put it behind them. And Kovac is back! And Archie Morris tasers himself! [Kristin@E!Online]
Friday Night Lights
As of today, the DirecTV deal is “almost done” and agents have been calling their FNL cast clients and telling them season three is a go. [Kristin@E!Online]
Gossip Girl
Blair soon hatches a plan to make her way back up the social ladder. But not before she’s stood up by a party of five former friends at her favorite sushi restaurant. [Kristin@E!Online]
Rufus and a new girl make good use of the apartment when Dan and Jenny take a trip to visit their mom. [Kristin@E!Online]
Grey’s Anatomy
New details are emerging about the first episode back on April 24. Roughly six weeks will have passed, not “several months.” And the first scene will most likely take place at Seattle Grace, not at the end of Derek and Rose’s latest date. [Michael Ausiello]
The show is out to get George Clooney! Well, a George Clooney type, at least, to appear in two episodes. The show also is on the hunt for an actress to play the hunk’s wife. [Michael Ausiello]
They’re casting for a grumpy old man to yell at Lexie and make her think about regret, and for a newlywed couple whose medical situation makes Meredith think about the risk inherent in commitment and/or the dangers of cars crashing into 18-wheelers. [Kristin@E!Online]
How I Met Your Mother
Ted and Barney tear up the town. I’m told they’re on their worst behavior—making out with married chicks, charging bottles of Cristal to someone else’s tab, ditching their dates to get into a club with more hot girls and ending a couple’s engagement—all within a couple of episodes. [Kristin@E!Online]
Stinson’s foolproof game soon faces an obstacle or two when a mysterious chick—burned by the Barnana, no doubt—starts warning women all over town of his playa ways. [Kristin@E!Online]
Jericho
One of the producers talked about the upcoming episode seven, “I would say the end of season two is probably the biggest thing I’ve ever seen in a produced television show.” [Kristin@E!Online]
Law and Order
A gun plays a major role in Detective Green’s impending exit. [Michael Ausiello]
Lost
Nestor Carbonell has inked a deal to reprise his role as ageless island dweller Richard in at least one of this season’s final five episodes. [Michael Ausiello]
An upcoming, post-strike episode features both a pair of Arabic-speaking, horseback-riding Bedouins and a luxury doorman of British extraction. Without knowing whether it’s a flashback or flash-forward, whose episode could that be? I had an extra bowl of crazy this morning, so I’m going with a consciousness-imploding guess: Charles Widmore, who is: A) a shadowy figure who has been coming into focus in recent weeks, B) a rich British dude and C) perhaps interested in those polar bear skeletons Charlotte found in the deserts of Tunisia. [Michael Ausiello]
You are going to find out who the Oceanic Six members are, finally, at the end of episode seven. [Kristin@E!Online]
Cynthia Watros (Libby) is back next week! Not in the present, of course. But still, I’ll take it. And she reappears the same week that Michael (Harold Perrineau) really reappears. Also, did you hear there’s a funeral this week? [Kristin@E!Online]
Walt does appear in episode eight, but 100-percent-trustworthy sources tell me that during his blink-of-an-eye appearance, “He is exactly the size that a nine-year-old should be.” And Walt’s Island visitations are alluded to in episode 10, but that’s it for explaining the mysteries of Walt for the rest of this much-shorter-than-it-should-be season four. [Kristin@E!Online]
Sun has only three weeks to get off the Island or she’ll croak. And here’s a curious thought: Is that three weeks in Island time or real-world time? We now know that time on the Island moves more slowly than elsewhere. So, is a Lost-island pregnancy still nine months? Or is it longer? Or could it even be shorter because her body is on real-world time even though her mind is perceiving Island time? [Kristin@E!Online]
Moonlight
In the first episode back, “Fated to Pretend,” Mick invites Beth over to his place so he can make her dinner. They agree that, yes, it’s a date. And then Beth gets taken hostage and Josef helps Mick kill some bad vampires so they can save her. [Kristin@E!Online]
NCIS
A prototype radar system is stolen out of the hands of NCIS. Meanwhile, a man is murdered while NCIS is taping surveillance footage for another case. The team investigate if and how the cases are connected. Tony is enamored with a homicide cop. [SpoilerFix.com]
Gibbs and the team investigate the death of a dog handler from the Navy. McGee is attacked by a dog and has a few wounds to prove it. Abby gets attached to one of the dogs. [SpoilerFix.com]
October Road
A rumor is going around that both Lifetime and the CW are interested in picking up the show should ABC cancel it. [Kristin@E!Online]
One Tree Hill
In the 100th episode: Haley and Nathan’s worst nightmare comes true when two people from their past return. Karen reappears with a former series regular. One of the four main girls tells Lucas she wants to have his baby — and it’s not who you think. [Michael Ausiello]
Scrubs
Cast and crew are due back on the set the week of March 24 to begin production on an 18-episode final season to air on ABC. [Michael Ausiello]
Smallville
Alison Mack has not, in fact, signed on for next season. While it’s possible that she hasn’t officially signed on the dotted line, source insists she will be back for “a minimum of 18 episodes.” [Michael Ausiello]
Executive producer Al Gough gave TV Guide’s Rich Sands an update on the duo’s contract talks. “Kristin will be back for a portion of the season — likely the first third,” he said, “and Michael . . . quite frankly, those negotiations are just getting started. So there’s no word one way or the other whether he’ll be back next year or not.” Best-case scenario, Rosenbaum will be in 18 episodes. Second-best-case scenario, he’ll do 11. Worst-case scenario, he’ll no longer have any use for this. [Michael Ausiello]
someone gets paralyzed and someone gets dead. Both are pretty huge twists! Also, Lex is getting closer to figuring out Clark’s secret. [Kristin@E!Online]
Supernatural
I’m hearing of a huge season-ending shocker involving Dean that I’d tell you about, but, well, it involves a word I normally have to spell out with double hockey sticks. But let’s just say it might be one of the biggest jaw-droppers in Supernatural history-at least in my humble, Dean-loving opinion! [Kristin@E!Online]
The Office
In an upcoming episode, we’ll meet Old Man Jones, an old man who works out of the DM office park, and a popular and pricey Scranton call girl. [Michael Ausiello]
The first episode back (the dinner party, written prestrike), they will jump ahead several months. [Kristin@E!Online]
Ugly Betty
We haven’t seen the last of Willy’s kid sis, played by Gabrielle Union. Sources confirm that Union is doing two more episodes this season. [Michael Ausiello]
Women’s Murder Club
New show-runner Robert Nathan is on the prowl for a new love interest for Angie Harmon. [Michael Ausiello]
