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

Question: Any scoop about Once Upon a Time? – Ladygotika

Team Watch with Kristin: Prepare to be shocked: The ABC hit is currently looking for a handsome actor to take on the role of Gerhardt (which apparently means strength of the spear, FYI!). A young military man, Gerhardt is filled with idealism, is good-natured and is really close with his fam. In fact, he’s the kind of child any parent would be proud of. (Does he sound too good to be true to anyone else? Hmmm…)

Question: LOVING Nashville, but I really don’t like Jackson. Any scoop? – Beth

Team Watch with Kristin: Well, you may start to warm up to Jackson after meeting the show’s new bad boy in episode 10. Ex-con Ian is in his late-20s and is described as edgy with an air of danger to him. Oh, and he must be able to play guitar and sing extremely well. Yeah, this guy should basically come wrapped in a warning label (and could possibly recur throughout the season).

That’s it. Enjoy!
