10 Things I Hate About You

And we have plans for some really interesting stand-alone episodes for [while she's gone]. But we’re heading towards the future of the show and eventually, unless we’re really lucky, everybody’s going to go. That’s what the end of season 5 taught me. So we’re looking at, How do we mess with that structure now while we have everybody and figure out ways in which, ‘What would we do without Ellen? What would we do if we had an episode without Patrick Dempsey?’ So season 6 is important. A lot of shows don’t make it through season 6 because they don’t know how to transition.” (Michael Ausiello)

The show is casting an oncology resident for episode two of season six. (Watch With Kristin)

How I Met Your Mother

Barney and Robin’s relationship will be one of two major focal points of season 5, ays executive producer Craig Thomas. “Barney’s feelings for Robin are out there, and it seems like Robin might have feelings for Barney herself,” he says. “And it’s so much fun to write for two people who are emotionally illiterate like the two of them are.” (Michael Ausiello)

The other major season 5 story is the Mother being one of Ted’s students. (Michael Ausiello)

In Plain Sight

Executive producer David Maples talks about the August 9 season-ender: “The In Plain Sight finale is an event that unfolds over two episodes, and a lot of things transpire with our cast, work-wise and with personal relationships. Things are left up in the air with the show, but it’s not like the Moldovan army comes in and starts spraying bullets and we don’t know who’s alive and who’s dead. It’s not quite that kind of a cliffhanger.” (Watch With Kristin)
