Q&A SPOILER SECTION (with the Team from Watch With Kristin at E! Online)
WARNING! Tread lightly if you don’t want to be spoiled!!
Question: (I’m) loving Klaus and Caroline’s chemistry. Awesome twist! What’s going to happen with them? Anything? – Annalisa
WWK Team: I hear it’s also one of The Vampire Diaries’ writers’ favorite scenes of the season, but don’t expect a sudden relationship to be born. Caroline (Candice Accola) is still holding strong to her faith that Tyler (Michael Trevino, who will be MIA from Mystic Falls for the next five episodes) will come out the other side of his sire bond issues. However, don’t expect Klaus (Joseph Morgan) to back off, either. Word is we see more of his interest in Caroline in the Feb. 9 episode “Dangerous Liaisons”—which might explain the stills of the two of them dancing together.
Question: Stefan and Elena—is there any hope for them? – Heathmonterrey
WWK Team: The triangle definitely heats up in the next few episodes as Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) try to rebuild their relationship in spite of both brothers being in love with the same girl.
Question: Any chance Stefan will end up being badder than Klaus, and Klaus a big old softy? I like bad Stefan. – FrankLewis97
WWK Team: The producers told me they swear that Klaus won’t go soft, but that doesn’t mean we won’t start to see a more human side of him—except where his war with Stefan is concerned.
Question: When will we see Jeremy again? – Nicole_Gutierrez
WWK Team: Word has it that Steven R. McQueen is still in Atlanta, so hope is not lost for Jeremy fans!
Question: Any Revenge spoilers you can provide? – Dave_idP
WWK Team: We chatted with Christa B. Allen and Connor Paolo about episode 15, which finally reveals who was murdered on the beach. But will it reveal who the murderer is? “I think we allude to who done it but we don’t confirm,” Allen teases. Paolo adds, “There are a couple people who could have done it.”
Question: (It’s) your fault that I’m obsessed with Revenge! What’s going on in the Hamptons?! – Totallychristie
WWK Team: Now that we know Charlotte is Emily’s (Emily VanCamp) half-sibling, will she be getting in on some of the revenge? “I think Charlotte and Declan could get their hands dirty at some point if we were recruited,” Allen tells us. For now though, the couple will be keeping their hands clean. “Only so many people can be involved in this scheme without it being crazy,” Paolo explains. “You can’t have six people all trying to bring down the Graysons. I want to see them find their own line of things.”
Question: Please (provide) some info on The Secret Circle! – Pandorarevolt
WWK Team: Prepare for some good ol’ teen angst when it comes to Jake (Chris Zylka) and Cassie (Britt Robertson). “A whole lot of ‘please forgive me’ and do I need to grovel and will I grovel? That’s a good question: is Jake a groveler?” As for his rivalry with Adam (Thomas Dekker), “They’re always going to be trying to one-up each other in front of Cassie,” he says with a laugh. “It’s a nice little kindergarten war.”
Question: The other Blackwell sibling hints? – ClumsyHibz
WWK Team: Sorry, but no one is spilling details…partly because they don’t know! “I don’t. I mean I can’t wait to find out,” Zylka tells us of the Blackwell sibling. So will Jake tell the circle that two of them are related? In a word: no. “That would just cause chaos. If you were a part of a circle of witches and you had powers and you used to have a bit of individual magic and someone said, ‘Look, you could be just like her,’ I think everyone would figure out a way to be just like her. She’s the witch of the land.”
Question: Any Once Upon a Time scoop? It’s my new favorite show! – Elizabeth
WWK Team: Everyone’s dying to know what happened between the Evil Queen (Lana Parrilla) and Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) back in the fairy-tale world, so when we chatted with Parrilla we had to ask for anything and everything about that backstory. “I have some idea. I cannot reveal that clearly. That’s the biggest question everyone wants to know the answer to,” she teases. “I will say that you will learn soon enough.” We’re thinking it’s pretty soon considering we’ll meet Snow White’s father (aka the Queen’s husband) King Leopold in the next episode.
Question: When will Mikita reunite on Nikita? They’re meant to be and have been apart too long. – Mikitajam
WWK Team: Well, prepare to wait even longer. According to Shane West, Michael and Nikita (Maggie Q) are just not meant to be together…right now. Don’t worry, there’s a plan. “I think the focus isn’t there, honestly, for the writing,” West tells us. “I think the focus is figuring out lot of the other subplots that are very important to the show. I think they’re enjoying keeping them apart, because they know the longer that that happens, when they bring them back together, the better the reaction.” Is your reaction to this news unfathomable rage, by chance?
Question: (I’m) already obsessed with Smash now that I’ve downloaded the pilot from iTunes for free. Great cast, dialogue, etc. What’s to come this season? – Hannah in Arlington, Va.
WWK Team: More of the above! Seriously, NBC made the mistake of sending us the first four episodes of Smash, because now we are crazy-obsessed with this show. Around episode three is when you’ll see Ivy’s (Megan Hilty) true colors. In the first two episodes, you’re not so sure how you feel about her: she’s not exactly the villain, but she’s not really a good girl, either. By episode four, you’ll most likely have a rock-solid opinion about her. Regardless of how Ivy acts, Hilty continues to kill it. So does Katharine McPhee. And Jack Davenport. And Anjelica Huston. And everyone else on that show. Like we said, obsessed.
Question: Grimm!! I need to know what else is coming up! – cmcaguilera
WWK Team: We’ve already seen so many awesomely creative monsters on Grimm this season, but in episode 16 we get to meet two more: Robin Steinkeller is a very rare birdlike creature and although she is frail, she can produce an extremely valuable egg that many would go to great lengths to get. Oh but we should mention they’d have to get past her vicious alley-cat-like husband, Thomas, who won’t stop bullying his wife until she gives him what he desperately wants.
That’s it. Enjoy!
