Brothers and Sisters

Rebecca will make her long-awaited debut during February sweeps. [Michael Ausiello]

Regarding Justin’s military crisis, producers found a very interesting way to resolve this story while also setting the stage for a big cliff-hanger come May. [Michael Ausiello]

A big romance is on the horizon for Kevin. It’s someone with ties to Kitty, and it’s a really fun twist. And this new guy is not the one-night stand Kevin picks up in an upcoming episode. [Michael Ausiello]

Close To Home

Executive producer Eric Overmyer talked about James Conlon returning to Indiana: “James was originally from Indiana. His grandparents had a farm downstate. His parents were moneyed people (no indication yet of what exactly they did to become wealthy). James moved to NYC and actually was married and had a daughter there. His ex-wife and teenage daughter still live in NYC. James is an ambitious man and saw that he wasn’t gonna get far as fast as he would like in NYC. He thus moved back to Indiana and took his present job. But he is a climber. He has possible political ambitions.” [Michael Ausiello]

Desperate Housewives

Mike might be heading to jail soon. [Michael Ausiello]

It’s very possible Lynette jumped to the wrong conclusion about Art’s suspicious shrine. [Michael Ausiello]

ER

ccording to a source close to the show, producers believed next year would be ER’s last, “So they thought it would be more valuable to [use] him (Noah Wyle) in that season rather than the current one.” [Michael Ausiello]

Gilmore Girls

David Rosenthal on the Lorelai/Christopher marriage: It’s one thing to go off on this romantic weekend and get married; it’s another thing to actually come back and deal with the reality of being married. Lorelai’s never lived with anyone. They’ve never really lived together. This marriage puts a lot of pressure on them both. That’s the big theme for the latter half of the season for Lorelai and Chris, and for Rory. She’s facing graduation and her future, and she’s always thought, “Oh, I’m going to be a journalist.” Rory’s going to open herself up to the possibility that there are other options out there for her. [Michael Ausiello]

David Rosenthal on the Rory and her future: She’s never really considered anything else; now she’s willing to consider everything else. And there’s the other issue of Logan being back in New York. There are opportunities that could pull her away from Logan. Suddenly, it’s no longer a college relationship. It’s two people out in the world, so the stakes become higher. It will kind of rev up their relationship in good and bad ways. We’re going to see their relationship deepen and complicate in many ways. Marty’s feelings for Rory will really be the issue; it’s not reciprocated. The man is still holding a torch. It’s something he just can’t seem to let go of, and it’ll definitely cause problems. But there’s nothing on Rory’s end. It’s not her thing — it’s his thing. [Michael Ausiello]

David Sutcliffe is allegedly only going to be around for a handful of episodes during the second half of the season. [Michael Ausiello]

Rory takes the marriage news surprisingly well. Luke, on the other hand, finds out when he spots the ring on Lorelai’s finger. [Michael Ausiello]

Episode 13 marks a major turning point in the Luke/Lorelai/Christopher triangle. Apparently, Luke and Christopher choose to deal with Richard’s health crisis in very different ways: Luke chooses to run around helping Emily, while Christopher chooses to go off and sulk about a bad fight he had with Lorelai. Cue the inevitable Lorelai epiphany. [Michael Ausiello]

Grey’s Anatomy

Izzy might end up spending Denny’s money on another patient. [Michael Ausiello]

Addison and Alex might be an item in upcoming episodes. [Kristin@E!Online]

Heroes

In the next episode, Peter meets Claire! As you know from the photo on this page (which I revealed last week), Peter ends up in Texas following Future Hiro’s strict orders to save the cheerleader and the world – and clearly, it gets bloody. Someone close to Claire is doomed. Eden’s powers come in very handy. Hiro stays stuck in the past, and he is the conduit for an upcoming episode that flashes back to show us where the characters were before we met them (including Claire’s other suicide attempts caught on tape). And Peter dies. [Kristin@E!Online]

A new hero is joining the cast! My source tells me exclusively that the new hero is making his debut in the Jan. 22 episode and has an ability not yet seen on the show. Apparently, this hero has been around a lot longer than all the others, so presumably he can teach those heroes we already know a thing or two. [Kristin@E!Online]

Christopher Eccleston – the original Dr. Who from the current Sci Fi/BBC series – is joining the cast in January. [Michael Ausiello]

House

There’s an emotional episode coming up in February in which House bonds with a rape victim and confides something shocking about his troubled relationship with his dad. [Michael Ausiello]

Jericho

People are afraid that Gray’s nasty tactics may have him win the Mayorial election. Jonah hides in Emily’s house after being accused of murder. [SpoilerFix.com]

Lost

Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse talked to Michael Ausiello about Libby returning in flashbacks. Here’s what Carlton had to say: “We would love to tell the rest of [Libby's] story, it’s [just] a question of whether we get to it. We’re now working on the early episodes for the second pod, and we want to get back to some of the characters we haven’t seen, and spend a little more time with them. We’d like to get to Cynthia’s story, but I think we’re going to try to tell the stories of our regular characters before we do that.” Adds Damon: “Obviously, we have a couple more beats of Libby’s story to tell to fill in the missing pieces, and the way we would tell that story is in the flashbacks of another character. But that character can’t be a character that we already know and love, otherwise they would recognize Libby. We know who those characters are and what those story beats are, but it might be a while before we get to their flashbacks.” [Michael Ausiello]

Those Portuguese-speaking guys actions will definitely come back into play. [Kristin@E!Online]

Episode 10 should be another Hurly flashback. [Kristin@E!Online]

My Name Is Earl

Poor Randy does some weird drugs that cause him to hallucinate (in Claymation!). Earl is going Greenpeace. [Kristin@E!Online]

Scrubs

Masi Oka (Hiro Nakamura on Heroes) has long had a recurring role on Scrubs as Franklyn, a worker in the blood lab. The Scrubs producers want to bring him back this season, but with his powers from Heroes intact! [Kristin@E!Online]

Smallville

Chloe finds out that Jimmy and Lois struck up a secret deal to work together on exposing the Green Arrow. She’ll also get to lay into Clark after he gets snippy with her for keeping Lana’s little secret. She will only take so much from someone she’s been protecting all these years. [Michael Ausiello]

Supernatural

Sam and Dean will be involved in a hostage crisis later this season. A disgruntled security guard will hold up a bank when nobody believes one of his out-there theories for why the place got robbed. [Michael Ausiello]

The Office

When Dwight finds his position as Michael’s No. 2 threatened by Stamford Andy, a new Office rivalry is born. But they’re both in for a surprise when Jan steps in and appoints someone else as the No. 2, Pam’s jubilance over having Jim around again is cut short by a piece of chewing gum. [Michael Ausiello]

Someone is quitting this week. Someone is also getting fired. [Kristin@E!Online]

Ugly Betty

Christopher Gorham reprises his role as Betty’s nerdy “Mode” crush on November 30. [Michael Ausiello]

Mode is closed for the Thanksgiving holiday, but Amanda and Marc are breaking in, because, well, no one in their families likes them enough to hang with them for the holiday. [Kristin@E!Online]
