Q&A SECTION (with TV Scoop Team at E! Online)

Question: In dire need of some Supernatural scoop on Castiel! I feel like I have not gotten enough time with my favorite angel this season! – Beth

TV Scoop Team: Well, then you’ll love what’s ahead! Castiel’s role in the final episodes of the season “is really important,” supervising producer Andrew Dabb previews. “He is part of the mythology as he has been in seasons past for us. He plays big in the last…episodes.” But what about Season 10?! “As far as next season goes, look, we love Misha [Collins]. Misha’s awesome. I have a hard time imagining the show without him.”

Question: I love Cosima and Delphine from Orphan Black so much! What’s coming up for their relationship? – Ashley

TV Scoop Team: Take it away, co-creator Graeme Mason! “I love Cophine too, but that relationship’s gonna remain on thin ice,” the showrunner exclusively revealed to us, “Their hearts are wrapped up in it, there’s no denying that. I don’t think Tatiana Maslany or Evelyn Brochu believe that their characters’ hearts aren’t in this, but there’s large forces at play. Delphine’s not above a power play, and Delphine has to learn to play dirty.” What do you think about that, Cophine lovers?

Question: Give me Sleepy Hollow! Now! – Cecilia

TV Scoop Team: Ok, but you could be nicer about it! In episode two, we’ll meet a new tall, muscular guy who’s great at sword-fighting, stunts, and horseback riding. Can you say third horseman of the apocalypse? Do you think it will be Conquest or Famine? Have you ever been so excited about a dude on a horse?! (We love this show.)

That’s it. Enjoy!
