SPOILERS!

Question: Any more True Blood season 3 casting news? —Richard
Ausiello: Yes! Alan Ball confirms that he’s currently casting the role of Talbot, “trophy husband” to Denis O’Hare’s same-gender-lovin’ King of Mississippi.

Question I just finished watching the first three seasons of Dexter and I can’t wait until the season 4 premiere. If you have a scoop that would be awesome. And if you have more than one scoop — or a scoop-fest, if you will — that would be even more awesome. —Jared
Ausiello: To quote my onetime Ausiello TV co-star Ana Ortiz, “Oh, I will, honey. You bet your ass I will.” John Lithgow’s Trinity Killer will claim a high-profile victim (a.k.a. significant character) during the first half of the season.

Question: I am dying (ha! get it?) for some Dexter spoilers! —Alex
Ausiello: LOLOMGLAME! Look for Dexter and Rita to get a very surprising houseguest in November.

Question: I’m dying for some Chuck scoop! Give us a little tidbit, anything to tide me over until March! —Jordan
Ausiello: Casting scoop! Emmy winner Armand Assante has been tapped to play a Castro-esque dictator who Casey has unsuccessfully tried to assassinate multiple times.

Question: Rumor has it House tells Cuddy he loves her in this season’s ninth episode. Is this for real? Or is someone pulling a fast one? —Reina
Ausiello: I can confirm that, as it stands now, House tells someone he loves Cuddy.

Question: Is it true we’ll meet Cuddy’s sister in the Thanksgiving episode? —Danica
Ausiello: She factors into the story somehow, but we don’t actually meet her. Does that make sense?

Question: I loved your interview with Lisa Edelstein on the Emmy red carpet. Do you know how many episodes Michael Weston’s character, Lucas, will be around on House? —Reana
Ausiello: More than one but less than 80.

Question: With House getting out of the asylum, does that mean we have seen the end of Anne Dudek as Amber? I hope not! —Patrick
Ausiello: Sorry, but I think this pretty much confirms that both House and House have gotten over their Amber fixation.

Question: Can you get us some amazing new Smallville scoop? —Tyson
Ausiello: In the Nov. 20 episode, “Pandora,” we’ll see exactly what happened when Lois disappeared for three weeks — and it’ll look remarkably similar to this.

Question: Is this “Redemption” arc of Heroes going to last the whole season? Or will it be another half-season affair? —Danny
Ausiello: It’ll span the entire 19-episode season.

Question: Have they cast Booth’s grandpa on Bones? —CL
Ausiello: Let’s check in with Bones boss Hart Hanson: “We are either very, very close or about to rethink the part. Please don’t hypnotize me into saying more.” I promise I won’t. Just one quick follow-up: Look into my eyes… you are getting very sleepy… I’ll ask you again… Who’s playing Booth’s grandpa…

Question: Will Olivia and Peter ever get together on Fringe? —Sara
Ausiello: Anna Torv doesn’t think the show should pull the trigger on Polivia for at least another year. “I think definitely we should wait until next season,” she told me at the Emmys. “That’s the way it goes on TV, right? You stretch it for as long as you can.” Yeah, that’s the drill. Torv also revealed that Olivia will get back “over there” in an upcoming episode. “We do go back and get to see the rest of that scene [from the finale].”
