Q&A SECTION (with Watch with Kristin Team at E! Online)

Question: I am desperate for some new Vampire Diaries scoop. – Chloe

WWK Team: Pretty soon you’ll (have plenty of) TVD scoop, because the show and its stars are headed to Comic-Con next week! But because we love you so much, we’ll tell you something now: there’s a new vampire hunter in town next season! His name is Connor, and word on the street is that he’ll be sticking around for awhile after he pops up in episode two.

Question: Can I get some Once Upon a Time season-two scoop? – Leslie

WWK Team: What’s interesting about next season is really in the way the cast has been describing it to us. For example, check out Ginnifer Goodwin’s take on season two: “We’re going to remember our parallel lives, so we’ll be creating essentially a third character. They are going to blend the two characters we’ve already been playing.” Never fear, fans of OUAT’s first season won’t be forgotten. “It’s going to be a brand-new show. But I think it will still be all the characters the fans know and love,” she says.

Question: Got anything on Covert Affairs? – Riley

WWK Team: We’re happy you asked, because we just finished watching the July 10 season premiere of Covert Affairs and it’s crazy. Crazy, we tell you! And crazy hot, too! After a top-secret plot twist, Annie (Piper Perabo) will find herself with a new boss, new job and a new hot man. But are any of these things permanent? Let’s not kid ourselves, they are all going to put her in danger.

Question: I would like some Psych scoop. Please and thank you. – Trey in Houston

WWK Team: Juliet is getting a new roomie. Laura is a bubbly, perky, upbeat, positive, and a complete and total copycat. In episode eight, we’ll see Laura start to change her appearance, and mannerisms to become more and more like her new BFF. Creepy. Not surprisingly, Shawn has some serious “issues” with this new Juliet duplicate, especially when she starts to flirt with him. Gasp! Shawn and Gus decide to follow the twenty-something in hopes of finding out why she’s trying to become the new Juliet.

That’s it. Enjoy!

Have a terrific weekend!!
