Q&A SECTION (with Kristin at E! Online)
Question: Anything on Once Upon a Time please!! – Charvi5
Kristin: There will be fairy tales that branch out of the central European folklore: “I wouldn’t be surprised to see fairy tales from other traditions coming in as well,” consulting producer Jane Espenson teases. “So keep your eye out for some stuff that’s maybe not quite so Swiss looking.” In addition to Hansel and Gretel, this certainly opens the doors for Greek mythology, Middle Eastern folktales, perhaps enough material for 50 seasons and two movies? We can only hope.
Question: Any scoop at all on the Hot Hipster Sheriff (on Once Upon a Time) would be very appreciated! – Tiffanydiane08
Kristin: You’re in luck because we actually chatted with the HHS himself Jamie Dornan about his upcoming episode. While he wouldn’t reveal who he is in the fairy-tale world, he did say they originally had a different character in mind, “But that didn’t end up happening because of rights.” He wouldn’t tell us who, but when he guessed Robin Hood he said, “You’re probably right.” Check back with us later in the week to hear more from TV’s hottest Sheriff ever! And the answer to your question is yes, his accent is every bit as swoon-worthy on the phone as it is on the show.
Question: Was the prince’s death on once upon a time’s latest episode the big death? – JeHong9
Kristin: Nope. And here’s a small tease: the upcoming death puts that one to shame. It’s epic.
Question: When is the real Emily leaving Jack alone? And why isn’t real Amanda doing anything about it? – Bronzia88
Kristin: Well, we’re not sure what our Emily (Emily VanCamp) can do about it, considering she’d have to out herself as the real Amanda in the process. And unfortunately, real Emily/fake Amanda (Margarita Levieva) is still hanging with the clueless (yet adorable) Jack (Nick Wechsler) in episode 13. Rage with us in the comments, won’t you?
Question: Any Revenge spoilers? – Iknitandtell
Kristin: Break out your notebooks and sweats ’cause Revenge is heading back to college! We’re going to see Daniel (Joshua Bowman) during his college years, getting his flirt on at a bar. Who knows maybe we’ll get to see his first meeting with the Hamptons’ very own Talented Mr. Ripley Tyler (Ashton Holmes)?
Question: Anything about Tyler/Nolan on Revenge? – Jmnzl
Kristin: As you know from the promo for this Wednesday’s episode, Emily finds out about Nolan’s (Gabriel Mann) arrangement with Tyler and is less than thrilled. Combine that with the frosty exchange between Emily and Nolan in the pilot’s flash-forward and it’s safe to say their alliance is probably over. “You don’t want to mess with Nolan. Somewhere underneath it, he’s just as revenge-y as everyone else, so don’t mess with him that way,” Mann tells us. “He’s got too much money, he’ll do bad, bad things and when his feelings get hurt, that will set him off.”
Question: I have not read a single Castle-related thing from you…how about some juicy spoilers? – Martucacomayuca
Kristin: Things to look forward to coming up on Castle: a dog show, paparazzi and a flashback to the 40s. Not all in one episode, of course. But how awesome would that be?
Question: Anything you can hint about what is to come on Nikita when it returns? – Goldstaarr
Kristin: It’s time to meet the original Nikita (Maggie Q): Carla. Remember how Nikita helped Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) recover? Described as compassionate and spiritual, Carla did the same for Nikita ten years ago before she suddenly disappeared. When the two ladies are reunited, shocking secrets are revealed about both parties. What interested us? There’s a chance for Carla to pop up on a recurring basis.
Question: Any NCIS scoop you care to share? – Christina
Kristin: Sharing is caring, so here’s what we can tell you: The show is currently looking to cast the possibly recurring role of Elaine, a friendly waitress who knows her regulars well. She’ll first appear in the monumental 200th episode.
Question: Anything on Hart of Dixie? – The1nonlynisha
Kristin: One of our three leading men, George (Scott Porter), Wade (Wilson Bethel) and Lavon (Cress Williams), will win Bluebell’s Man of the Year. Seriously.
That’s it. Enjoy!
