Q&A SECTION (with E! Online)
Question: Any Zade (Zoe/Wade) news (for Hart of Dixie)?! When she’s back to Bluebell will they have some sort of talk or what? They need to get back together asap! – Gleeonelove
E! Online: We agree! So to get to the bottom of it, we traveled to Bluebell this week (no really, we did!) and we chatted with the always delightful Wilson Bethel about what’s coming up on Hart of Dixie this fall. The shirtless sweetheart promised us that fans will get to see a Zade scene in season three premiere, but it might not be the one you were hoping for. “I think there’s some conversation that needs to be had about where the f–k you’ve been basically,” Bethel said. “She kinda just disappeared.” Yikes! Three months and no contact? Looks like there’s some drama headed to Bluebell!
Question: Allison/Isaac, do we see more of their relationship, romantically? – LynZ_Ann
E! Online: Ain’t nobody got time for a burgeoning romance when lives are on the line and epic wolf battles are to be fought, come on now! But there is a small moment in Monday’s finale that definitely sets the stage for these two to get together in season 3B. In fact, Isaac is smiling and laughing. One person who witnesses said moment? Scott. Sound the love triangle alarm!
That’s it. Enjoy!
Have a terrific weekend!!
