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

Question: Wanting Revenge scoop with a vengeance, please!!! – Katie C.

Team Watch with Kristin: Christa B. Allen tells us that Emily’s plan is about to go global! “I can tease that Emily [will be] getting involved with people from around the world,” she says. “You see people getting involved with her revenge plot that you never would have expected. Lots of new people coming onto the scene.” New faces means new drama, and we love it!

Question: Elementary is my new favorite show! Got any scoop on what’s coming up? – Christine

Team Watch with Kristin: We’ve heard plenty about Sherlock’s father, but now it’s time to learn about Watson’s family. The show will be introducing Mary, her elegant mother, later this season and let’s just say she’s not a fan of her daughter’s new gig. In fact, she called her a glorified babysitter. Of course, if there’s anyone who can charm Mary into changing her opinion, it’s Sherlock.

That’s it. Enjoy!

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

Question: Anything on the most adorable couple ever: Zoe-Wade from Hart of Dixie? – Sooriclover

Team Watch with Kristin: Wade and Zoe fans, meet your new enemy: Meatball, a Jack Black-type who is friend of Wade’s and used to be in his band. Why won’t you like him? Well, it seems like he picks on Wade for choosing to hang with Zoe (orange-picking to be precise, which is a very couple-y activity to do, no?) over hanging with the guys. Here’s hoping Wade rises above his bud’s snickering!

Question: Any Pretty Little Liars scoop that’s not about the Halloween special? – Noelle

Team Watch with Kristin: After the Halloween episode, which will reveal the death of one Rosewood local, Ashley Benson teases, “[The] second half of the season is just finding out who the A Team is, and we don’t know who to trust. We don’t even trust each other anymore, because we find out that Toby is working for ‘A.’ It’s just crazy! We don’t know who’s on our side, who’s not. We’re kind of all in danger now, because I’m like, ‘Oh my god! Is Caleb…?!’ We don’t know what the closest ones to us, what they’re doing or what their agenda is.”

Question: Nashville news, if you got it! – Lena

Team Watch with Kristin: Someone else may be after Deacon besides Juliette! Later on in the season, we’ll meet a mega-successful Jon Bon Jovi-esque rocker who is looking for a new guitar player to join his band. That Deacon will be fighting admirers off with a guitar pick!

Question: You’ve been slacking on the Grimm scoop lately. Please share the goods! – Liam

Team Watch with Kristin: Your wish is our command! The NBC show will be introducing a vicious, scorpion-esque creature (called an Istsa Sitan) in the form of Cole, the leader of a lack of troublemakers. Even worse?

Question: Any NCIS spoilers? – Christina

Team Watch with Kristin: The show will be introducing a secret service special agent who is beautiful and tough, pretty and professional. She’s an expert in currency-related crimes and viewers may just see her pop up throughout the season.

(First Showing and Moviehole)

Q&A SECTION (with Team Watch with Kristin at E! Online, Natalie Abrams and Adam Bryant at TV Guide and Michael Ausiello at TV Line)

Question: Dying for some Revenge scoop on Nolan! – brittneyh10

Team Watch with Kristin: The new guy Aiden? Yeah, Nolan is not a fan and Gabriel Mann says we may see the two men vie for Emily’s attention. “He’s so suave in a way that I think drives Nolan absolutely nuts because it’s everything Nolan wishes he actually were,” Gabriel explains. “And he has a certain connection to Emily that he continues to search for that happens a little bit more organically between the two of them. I would say there could be some interesting dynamics between Emily, Aiden and Nolan. Actually I’m going to guarantee it.”

Question: Need my Scandal fix now! – Jessica

Team Watch with Kristin: Kate Burton is coming back as Vice President Sally Langston, y’all! In episode 11, we’ll meet her secretary, which could turn into a possibly recurring character. (Here’s hoping this one turns out better than former chief of staff Billy!). In the same hour, we’ll be introduced to the Head of the FBI. Uh-oh, seems like trouble is brewing on Scandal and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Question: Revolution is getting so good! Any scoop on what’s ahead? – Derek

Team Watch with Kristin: Prepare to meet more members of the rebel army, including McClusky, one of the gang’s leaders who is iron-tough and has a kind but commanding presence. We’ll also meet Sanborn, a tense scientist who loves to build intricate weaponry. Hmmm, these two roles have our minds reeling as they are set to make their first appearances in episode 11, which follows a can’t-miss episode 10. Creator Eric Kripke teases that Charlie and the gang will catch up to Danny in that episode, and Miles and Monroe will finally come face-to-face. “They still really love each other. When they see each other, they’re not really sure if they’re going to kill each other or hug each other,” Kripke teases, describing their history as “very tragic, emotional and Cain-and-Abel.”

Question: Stefan and Elena seem like they’re in a good place on The Vampire Diaries. Will they stay that way? —Farrah

NATALIE: Those two are definitely in it for the long haul. But while they had some meaningful conversations about their future in the premiere, this week’s episode will bring trouble to paradise. Expect Elena and Stefan to clash after a particular “interaction” between Elena and Damon. “It’s something unintentionally hurtful she does to Stefan that she has to then deal with the repercussions of,” executive producer Julie Plec says.

Question: Last Resort’s heating up! What’s coming next? — Brad

ADAM: A good portion of the men under Chaplin’s command are becoming a bit antsy about their current assignment. How antsy? Chaplin will have to stave off not one, but two assassination attempts by his own men. These brushes with death will force Chaplin to consider letting some of the crew leave the island and head home.

Question: So we’ve all heard it’s the “Year of Tiva” on NCIS, but what about my other favorite duo, Abby and McGee? Anything new on them? —Alyssa

Ausiello: McGee’s gonna have some explaining to do when he’s caught in a compromising situation with (drumroll please… ) Diane Sterling, aka the communal ex-wife of both Gibbs and Fornell! As exec producer Gary Glasberg explains, Melinda McGraw will reprise her role in December, and “this time she not only has to work undercover with them, she has to spend the night with Special Agent Tim McGee as well. Amidst the chaos, Gibbs and Fornell find their ex asleep on the sofa with Tim. In the words of one of my favorite films, ‘Ex Mrs. Boss, are you trying to seduce me?!’ You’ll have to wait and see what McGee has gotten himself into.”

Question: Thank you for recommending Connie Britton’s Nashville! I loved it, although the political storyline seems tacked on. Tell me I’m wrong? –Amy

Ausiello: What I can tell you is that while the mayoral campaign story is ostensibly about Teddy, it’ll be as much about his wife. Actually, I’ll let Ms. Britton tell you. “Rayna’s a self-made woman who has been basically supporting their family for most of their adult lives — and now, suddenly, she’s going to some degree be playing ‘the politician’s wife,’ and that’s going to be a really interesting conflict for her, and for them,” says TV’s erstwhile Mrs. Coach. “He doesn’t need to [run for office], and she’s also conflicted about her father being involved in it… But she also has a strong sense of allegiance and loyalty to her husband. That’s what’s interesting about playing a Southern woman — there’s always that underlying feeling of, ‘Stand by your man.’”

Question: I’ve just discovered Switched at Birth and I love it (because I am apparently a 14-year-old trapped in a 35-year-old’s body.) Any scoop? —Megan

Ausiello: Things are going to get very complicated for Daphne and Chef Jeff in next Monday’s finale. “As the season sort of winds down, the parents get more and more involved in both of the girls’ choices – and maybe they’re not the best choices,” Katie Leclerc told TVLine at the 2012 Media Access Awards. So how will the family react when the controversial relationship is exposed? “It’s a bombshell,” added Leclerc. “It’s a big blow up. Everyone wants to be a hero in this situation, so the adults have to figure out who that’s going to be and how that’s going to work out.”

That’s it. Enjoy!

Q&A SECTION (with Team Watch with Kristin from E! Online and Sandra Gonzalez at Entertainment Weekly)

Question: Revenge just keeps getting better and better! Any scoop? – Reenie

Team Watch with Kristin: Prepare to meet Salvador Grobet, a Central American gentleman who will be staying with the Graysons for a bit. He’s dashing, wealthy and loves to use his charm on any lady in a two-mile radius, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t in town to get some business done as well. Also, it seems like Amanda is sticking around a bit as a baptism will be performed later this season.

Question: Revolution scoop is in order! – Chris

Team Watch with Kristin: Want to know why the lights went out? Yes, that was a trick question, because of course you want to know! Creator Eric Kripke teases that viewers will get the answer to that question sooner than you might think. “We’re talking dangerously about revealing that secret before the end of the first season,” he tells us. “It’s part of my philosophy about not being too precious with anything. We may reveal the secret sooner than later.”

NOTE: The following questions are focused on the new CW series Arrow:

Question: Will we see some Laurel/Oliver flashbacks any time soon? — Joy

Sandra: “You’ll definitely get to see more of the history between Laurel and Oliver, and where they come from,” assures Cassidy, who adds that she loves playing a character with “a huge heart.” Which is also something that likely endears her to Oliver. “Laurel lost her sister because her boyfriend had an affair and invited her [on the boat]. It’s basically his fault. And I think if any man did this to me and my sisters, I would never forgive that person,” she says. “I feel like she has a lot of soul, and she’s clearly very strong because she tries to see the best in everyone. I think that says a lot about her.”

Question: Can we please get Revenge/Arrow crossover? I think Emily and Oliver would make amazing partners! — Leslie

Sandra: And have amazingly beautiful justice-seeking babies! Ehem. No spoiler here because this is a crazy bananas idea. But, for the record, Amell is on board: “Let’s cross pollinate. Let’s do it. I don’t understand why we wouldn’t. Maybe ABC and CW would have issues, but that’s not for me to discuss. But in a perfect world, we would just do it.”

Question: Please tell me we’re going to see that ladder thing on Arrow again. Please. Please. – Kristine

Sandra: As I reported in this post-premiere scoop, no salmon ladder again any time soon. (Sniff.) But if it’s action you like, I hear there’s some very impressive machete stunts in this week’s episode (not to mention, a Kardashian joke). And in the seventh episode, there’s a fight scene that Amell is “very proud of” against a character that “D.C. comics fans will recognize.” “It’s another fight in my plain clothes and when I’m in my plain clothes, it has to be only me because I don’t have a hood on; you can’t hide my face,” he said. “It got a really nice reception from the crew after we shot it.”

That’s it. Enjoy!

Question: Any The Vampire Diaries scoop you can share? – David

Team Watch with Kristin: While Caroline will be there for Elena, expect to see a major change in their friendship when the blond vamp doesn’t like the way the new bloodsucker is acting. Hint: It may or may not have to do with a steamy moment Elena shares with the older Salvatore brother in episode four.

Question: When will we see Grace again on Revolution? Or is she dead? I need answers! – Gregory

Team Watch with Kristin: And you will get them…in episode seven. “We see who Randall is, this person who kidnapped her in episode two, and we get to learn more about him,” creator Eric Kripke tells us. “We start to expand it because she is under duress with this character. She’s in a dangerous position right now. In the second of the half the season, Grace and Randall and what’s happening with their storyline begins to play a huge, huge part in the main storyline of the show.”

Question: After hearing about Colton Haynes’ exit, I need some good Teen Wolf news. – Melissa

Team Watch with Kristin: Fans will be happy to hear that Daniel Sharman, who plays new wolf Isaac on the MTV hit, will be in at least eight episodes in the first half of season three. We’re hearing there’s a good chance Sharman could eventually be bumped up to series regular.

Question: Scandal just keeps getting better and better, but I’d love to see Harrison get a love interest! What’s coming up for him? – Meg

Team Watch with Kristin: Why don’t we just let the very attractive and charming Columbus Short field this one himself? “Harrison is a very interesting person. Does he have a love life in a romantic sense? No. But he has a very distinct love life with Olivia, with Abby, with Quinn,” he says. “Abby and Harrison have this relationship that has grown into something truly special and it grows into something tremendously special and complicated. Abby always questions Olivia and Harrison has this loyalty to Olivia that is unbreakable—that becomes a really big element.” Take from that what you will!

That’s it. Enjoy!

Theatrical Trailer for Kathryn Bigelow’s ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ Declassified

NOTE: It’s a blink and you’ll miss him moment (almost), but Taylor Kinney (Chicago Fire) is in this film too!

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

Question: Oh my God, (I’m) obsessed with Arrow already!!! The pilot was fantastic. I love Katie Cassidy and want her with him. Will I get my wish? – Brenda H.

Team Watch with Kristin: Not for a while! Katie herself tells us that the past (of Oliver/Arrow cheating on her with her sister) is not something her character will easily get over. “I have two sisters and if that happened to me I would be like, ‘No, no. I don’t want to see you ever because I might kill you!!’ Yeah, but I do think they will play around with that. I think…You can’t help who you love and I think he is the love of her life. I think she tries to forgive and she tries to see the best in everyone, even him. I do feel like there will be this sort of Dawson-Joey kind of aspect to it.” PS. Katie also admits she was a big Dawson’s fan and loves the fact that (former Dawson’s boss) Greg Berlanti is heading up her new show.

Question: Homeland question! Jessica surprisingly isn’t bothering me this season. Glad she is finally calling Brody out! Will this continue? – Cynthia:

Team Watch with Kristin: Awww, cut the woman some slack! But definitely agree that this is Jessica’s season to shine and Morena Baccarin is fantastic in this Sunday’s episode. Jessica delivers such a powerful speech at the charity event she throws, which Brody misses (he has his hands full with that Gettysburg bombmaker), it gave us chills. And Jess doesn’t let Brody off the hook for being an absentee husband, either. You will be thoroughly impressed with Mrs. Nicholas Brody, trust. Anyone else ready for Uncle Mike to swoop in?

That’s it. Enjoy!

First “Hitchcock” Trailer Online

Q&A SECTION (with Adam Bryant and Natalie Abrams from TV Guide and Michael Ausiello from TV Line)

Question: I’m worried that Castle has nowhere to take Beckett now that her mom’s murder has been solved. Make me feel better? — Valerie

ADAM: Stana Katic doesn’t think you should be worried. “There’s a certain amount of closure, but it doesn’t mean that the tale is done,” she says. In fact, Katic is finding it much more fun to play the “new” Beckett. “She’s more lethal because she’s thinking more clearly. She’s not running on emotion anymore,” she says. “She’s become more dangerous to the bad guys.” Sounds like Castle better stay in line!

Question: Will Emily get Revenge on Ashley for dating Daniel? — Mary

NATALIE: She certainly has a few tricks up her sleeve. “You’re going to find that Ashley is not a random friend for Emily,” creator Mike Kelley tells us. “There’s a reason that Emily chose her to be her entrée into the Hamptons world, so she’s got a few cards to play against Ashley should she choose to use them. I also think that there were true feelings involved between Emily and Daniel that she has to resolve in her head. She still has affection for him. Love on Daniel’s side for Emily is going to cause a problem between Daniel and Ashley.”

Question: Totally loving Revolution! How will Maggie’s death impact the show? —Wes

ADAM: As we have already seen, Maggie’s death hit pretty close to home for Charlie. However, look for that sadness and pain to ultimately harden her. “You’re going to see Charlie try to lose hope, try to be more like Miles,” executive producer David Rambo tells us. “If she thinks that this is what you have to do to survive, she’s going to try to do it.”

Question: When will Regina learn about her true origin on Once Upon a Time? — Sam

NATALIE: Oh, that Regina is the child promised to Rumplestiltskin? They haven’t filmed it yet, says Lana Parrilla. “At this point, Regina doesn’t have the knowledge that she is the child. There is a hint that he has held her as a baby and she’s kind of freaked-out.” Still, Regina has other things to worry about considering she needs to turn her attention to rescuing Emma and Snow. “There’s conflicting feelings around Emma and Mary Margaret being gone,” Parrilla says. “There’s celebratory moments typically, and then, ‘OMG, without them, I still don’t have Henry. I need them in order to have a relationship with Henry.'” So look for that to heat up now that Henry’s been left to live with Grandpa Charming.

Question: I am a huge fan of Downton Abbey and was wondering if you could give any scoop on Sybil/Branson or Mary/Matthew? — Caitlin

Ausiello: Them specifically, no. However, I do have some tantalizing teases about Season’s 3’s Christmas episode (known here in the States as the season finale). For one thing, “It’s not set at Christmas,” Hugh Bonneville tells us. “It goes out to Christmas, but it’s not set at Christmas. It has a very different flavor [and] lots of thrills and spills along the way.” Adds Brendan Coyle: “It’s very, very romantic and deeply heartbreaking. It’s very Downton.” If it’s so very Downton, it must end with a cliffhanger, yes? “I can’t give that away,” Bonneville insists. “[But] the end is phenomenal.”

That’s it. Enjoy!

He’ll do things that Olivia will take note of, like when I think automatically Olivia wants me to cut the pastor’s body. Things like that, when a dog chews your shoe.

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

Question: What’s next for Snow and Charming on OUAT? Please tell me they won’t be getting new love interests! – Alexa

Team Watch with Kristin: It seems like the show’s creators are more interested in exploring the relationship between the couple and their daughter than any prospective love interests. “There’s a lot of challenges, in terms of this new relationship with their daughter. Rather than focusing on last season, where it was they didn’t know who each other were and whether they’ll get together and will we overcome the Kathryn of it all, this year it’s a whole different set of challenges that this new familial relationship presents,” Adam Horowitz explains.

Question: Any Revenge scoop? – Meg

Team Watch with Kristin: In episode eight, we’ll get to see a very different Victoria: a flashback to when she was 16 years old! In the same episode, we’ll meet Sheila, a working class mother who wants to join the upper ranks of society and uses her relationships with wealthy men to do it, even if it means neglecting her children. Hmmm…could they be related?

Question: Any scoop on Haleb in PLL’s Halloween episode? – Maddie

Team Watch with Kristin: Despite his bullet wound (Ouch!), Ashley Benson tells us Hanna and Caleb are “pretty swell. There’s always trouble, but right now they’re in a good spot.” The same can’t be said for Spencer and Toby, especially after it was revealed he’s a member of the “A” Team. Benson says the girls will “definitely” start to get suspicious of Spencer’s BF. “I mean, we don’t really know what’s going on, it’s more Spencer,” she clarifies. “But I think they’ll start to figure things out.”

That’s it. Enjoy!
