Latest from TV Guide's Ausiello:
Question: Now that we know that Smallville's coming back next season, when will we find out which cast members will be returning? — Kirsten
Ausiello: You'll find out right this second (Warning: This spoiler will dramatically and suddenly accelerate, climb, stop and dive. It is not recommended for Smallville fans who are expectant mothers or those with a history of neck or back conditions or heart trouble) OK, here we go: Everyone is expected to return for Season 8 except — wait for it, wait for it — Michael Rosenbaum and Kristen Kreuk. I'll give you a second to catch your breath. [Beat] Sources close to the show tell me that both actors have informed producers that they don't intend to return as series regulars next season. However, they are open to doing limited engagements, and those details are being worked out as we speak. Thanks for riding!

Question: I was wondering if you could let loose some juicy Smallville gossip about some future episodes. — David
Ausiello: Find a calendar and draw a circle around April 17. That's the day the show's first post-strike episode airs. It's also the day a long-running character — a series regular — takes his last breath. As in dies. For real. No cloning crap this time around.

Question: So what's the deal with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles? Renewed? Canceled? Bubble? — Kristin
Ausiello: I can confirm that it is one of those three. Personally, I hope it's the first one because Monday's finale knocked my AquaFx Adams Rib GoldToes off. (Can we have our money now?)

Question: Can you give us some scoop on tomorrow night's Juliet-centric Lost? — Dave
Ausiello: I'm hearing something about a big kiss, and an even bigger shove.
Question: Who is the "friend" on the freighter? — April
Ausiello: Little tip: Stop asking who, and start asking how.
Question: I'm dying for more Dollhouse scoop! BTW, I loved the story you and Ben Katner did pitching actors for the show.— Kacey
Ausiello: I'll be curious to see if Joss takes any of our suggestions. I'm sure it's a long shot, especially in light of what he told me back in November when Dollhouse was just announced. "My first instinct is to probably [cast] new people [in Dollhouse], because I'm already reuniting with Eliza and I don't want it to seem like a house party," he said. "I want to make sure people get a fresh feeling from it. But behind the scenes, I will be chasing many writers that I have worked with before because they're the people I trust." Hence Whedon's decision to snap up former Angel scribes Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain the moment they parted ways with Women's Murder Club.
Question: More Dollhouse scoopage, please! — Mario
Ausiello: Interested in reading the just-released, official show description? No? Too bad, 'cause here it is: "A group of people, known as 'Actives' (or 'Dolls'), have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas and hired out for particular jobs, crimes, fantasies and occasional good deeds. When not imprinted, the Actives live, childlike and unremembering, in a hidden facility nicknamed 'The Dollhouse.' Although the Actives are ostensibly volunteers, the operation is highly illegal, and under constant threat from a determined federal agent on one end and an insane rogue Active on the other. The story hinges around a greater and more subtle threat: Echo, a female Active, begins, in her mind-wiped state, to become self-aware."
Question: I have a dream: Kristen Bell joining Heroes for a third season, a third season of Jericho, a fourth season of Supernatural and a new Star Trek series within my lifetime! How possible is this dream? — AJ
Ausiello: That's actually several dreams, AJ, but the good news is that I'd say 65 percent of them are possible. Scale back the first, don't count on the second, and rejoice in the fact that the third has already come true. (BTW, the four post-strike eps of Supernatural start airing on April 3.) The last dream, of course, is as infinite as space itself, which is to say, who the hell knows? Speaking of Supernatural, though, the Winchester brothers will be starring on a reality-show-within-the show called "Ghostfacers!" — a Blair Witch-style deal with a quirky staff that includes a cute, friendly girl and her boyfriend, a very tall, not easily amused cameraman.

Question: I'm dying for some House scoop. Seriously. I'll bake you cookies. — Lyaman
Ausiello: Good news: The two-part Super Bowl episode that got sidelined by the writers' strike will see the light of day this May. According to a Fox insider, the scripts will undergo a little tweaking and will now serve as this season's final two episodes. Series creator David Shore tells USA Today that in the second of those two, House will get in an accident and lose his memory of the preceding hours. "He'll be finding out what he's forgotten and its significance," says Shore. "Bringing his memory back is crucial." Gimme my cookies!
