SPOILERS!

Question: Dude! What's going on?! Where's all the True Blood scoop!? --Ryan
Ausiello: Chill, bro, I've got just the tease for ya -- and so does the show. Alan Ball and Co. are currently talking to "name" actresses to appear in just one episode this season (and more in future ones). The character? No less than Sophie-Anne, the 500-year-old queen of the Louisiana vampires. My mole tells me that Her Highness is as bright and witty as she is powerful and dangerous. (Isn't that always the way?) Michelle Pfeiffer, call your agent -- yesterday!

Question: Smallville scoop, please! --Jason
Ausiello: John Schneider, Annette O'Toole, and John Glover are back! Sort of! The Smallville vets will appear via flashback in the April 2 episode, which delves into Davis' backstory. Is it old footage? New footage? CGI? No comment, no comment, and no comment! Oh, speaking of Smallville, click here to see Erica Durance in action as Stiletto!


Question: Do you have anything on Prison Break's last episode? --Abby
Ausiello: Justice will be served to both Pad Man and Christina, although one will involve far more blood than the other. Also, I have some more information on the finale's Alias-esque epilogue: The closing minutes of the swan song will flash forward four years to show where all the main characters ended up. For more on PB's big climax, pick up the new issue of EW (on sale Friday) and turn to page 56.

Question: I heard through the grapevine that you've seen the series finale of Battlestar Galactica. What the frak are you waiting for? Spill it! --Jacob
Ausiello: Unfortunately, the producers made me sign some lame no-spoiler agreement prior to the screening. Fortunately, the name I signed was Vanity Smurf! I'm a genius! Turns out Ellen isn't the fifth cylon -- Adama's dead son is! OMGWTF, right? And that's not even the biggest twist, this is: I'm kidding! (Or am I… )

Question: Got any good scoop for the Battlestar finale? --Andrew
Ausiello: This much I'll say: If you're a fan of BSG's third and current fourth seasons, then you'll probably love Friday's two-hour send-off.

Question: Can you please tell me that Fringe has a chance -- a good chance -- of being renewed for a second season? --Daniel
Ausiello: Fringe has a very good chance of being renewed for a second season. And if it's not, the actor they end up casting in the role of "Dr. Smith" is going to be royally pissed off, since he's appearing in just one scene in May ahead of what promises to be a major recurring arc next season. Who's Dr. Smith, you ask? A 55-65-year-old scientist and contemporary of Walter Bishop. Cue the inevitable "Is he Olivia's stepdad?" speculation.

Question: I need some Heroes scoop, my dear! --Heather
Ausiello: The working title for next fall's fifth volume is "Redemption." That's according to James Kyson Lee (Ando), who told us that production on season 3 wrapped last Friday and the cast is now in the midst of a three-month hiatus. He also called this Monday's Bryan Fuller-penned episode a "monster" hour of TV. "Ando learns a new trick with his mojo," Lee revealed. "He will not just be a supercharger anymore. He will be something more from that point on. He is becoming a legitimate superhero this season. which is really fun for me to go from powerless sidekick to hero."


Question: Any chance there's a sliver of truth to the rumor that Gale Harold is joining Supernatural next season? --Brianne
Ausiello: Nope, not even a sliver.

Question: Kill the Cheerleader, Save the Show. Please tell me Claire is one of the two for real deaths on Heroes. Her character is annoying. --Bishop
Ausiello: She is not. Claire will be back next season, although for a few hours late Tuesday things were looking iffy. There was a rumor going around that Ms. Hayden was taking meetings with top TV execs at the major studios. The rumor ended up being true, but it wasn't acting work she was looking for, it was producing work: She's pitching a new show and she's searching for a buyer.

Question: What's the latest on Zack returning to Bones? --Will

Ausiello: The latest is he's probably definitely most likely going to be in the finale on May 14. And he won't be the only Bones alum appearing in the ep. "The finale is pretty much going to have everyone who has ever been on the show," reveals exec producer Stephen Nathan, who says Patricia Belcher (Caroline) and Ryan O'Neal (Max) are among the MVPs slated to join Eric Millegan (Zack). "It's going to be an interesting last episode of the season. Very different for us, but it should make sense in the context of the season."
