Q&A SECTION (with Team Watch with Kristin at E! Online)
Question: What’s coming up for Bonnie on The Vampire Diaries this season?! – Gemma
Team Watch with Kristin: “Bonnie’s going to meet someone who’s going to have a huge impact on her future. That’s really exciting,” Kat Graham teases. So, who’s the new someone? Shane, a professor at the local college, played by David Alpay, who believes in the occult and shares a history with our resident witch. “[He]’s going to take her down a different kind of road. We’ll see how that plays itself out.”
Question: Any details on Revenge. – Jessica
Team Watch with Kristin: Prepare to meet the domineering and self-made Miriam, a woman in her 60s, who is so intimidating even her own family is kind of scared of her. And the wealthy older gentlemen of the Hamptons should definitely watch out for this one because she knows how to turn on the charm when they’re around.
Question: Any #NCISLA scoop? I’m totally intrigued about what the new season will offer. – @mizdozmama
Team Watch with Kristin: Things will be heating up between Eric and Nell this season. That’s the exact wording Renée Felice Smith used when we talked to her and Barrett Foa recently. “There is some potential making out,” Smith tells us coyly. And just when we were getting excited for some nerdy action, Foa totally rained on our parade! “We work together, so you can’t just be hot and heavy off the bat,” he says. “It’s going to take at least nine seasons for a peck on the cheek.”
That’s it. Enjoy!
Have a terrific weekend!
