Question: Any news on Joss Whedon’s upcoming Glee episode? —John
Ausiello: Yes. He’s booked to direct the sixth episode back, which, barring any interruptions, will air on May 18. Send your viewing party invites to ausielloscoop@ew.com and I’ll try and hit as many as I can.
Question: Thanks for rubbing in our faces the fact that you got to watch the first four episodes of 24. Prove to us that you’re as generous as you are arrogant and give us some scoop. —Patty
Ausiello: Look, if I really wanted to be an ass about it I would’ve stuck with my original caption: “Your life sucks compared to mine.” On the scoop front, I’m shocked this isn’t out there yet, but among the new faces at CTU this season is a character named Jenny. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you who’s playing her as it would spoil a pretty big twist.
Question: What gives? 24’s premiere is a little over a month away and we haven’t gotten any new scoop in ages! —Nicole
Ausiello: A month away? That’s odd, because I just watched the first four episodes last night thanks to the advance screener Fox sent me and not you. I know. You want my life. Get in line. In the meantime, take comfort in knowing that the five-week slog until the Jan. 17 regular people premiere will be worth the wait. Day 8 gets off to a strong start. But be forewarned: Mykelti Williamson’s CTU boss Brian Hastings may go down as the biggest, most clueless toolbag in 24 history. And this show has seen a lot of clueless toolbags. Oh, and I’m trying to get confirmation on this, but, based on these four episodes, I’m fairly certain Katee Sackhoff’s agent worked the following non-negotiable clause into her 24 contract: “Client’s long flowing blond locks must be perfectly swept over her left shoulder at all times.”
Question: Is Orla Brady on Fringe playing Peter’s mom from Over Here or from Over There? —Michael
Ausiello: Is there an Over Here and There option? Teases exec producer Jeff Pinkner: “In a show exploring two alternate universes, there is more than one of everything… and everyone.”
Question: I need some major Castle spoilers! —Clarissa
Ausiello: The Jan. 11 episode, the first one after the holiday break, features what a Castle insider calls “a hot make-out scene” between Nathan Fillion and very special guest star Alyssa Milano. “And Beckett,” my spy adds, “is not too happy.” The following week, look for a truly shocking twist involving the murder of Beckett’s mom.
Question: Still no word on Maggie Grace’s return to Lost? —Steven
Ausiello: Still no word.
Question: Can you please give me some inside info on the White Collar cliffhanger? I really want to believe that Peter hasn’t betrayed Neal, but it’s not looking too good. —Amanda
Ausiello: “Peter has always known more about Kate than he’s let on, something we’ve hinted at since the pilot,” says series creator Jeff Eastin. “Has he betrayed Neal? Come back in January to find out.”
Question: Please tell me something about the Dexter finale! —Curchel
Ausiello: I’ll let Courtney Ford (a.k.a. Trinity’s damaged journalist daughter Christine) do the honors since she actually read the script. “The finale definitely has a huge twist,” she told us at Monday’s Lovely Bones premiere in Hollywood. “It is a game-changer if you’re a Dexter fan. Fans are going to freak out. We freaked out when we were finally made aware of what was going to happen. They kept us in the dark about what was going to happen until the last possible moment. Initially, they even gave us a script that wasn’t the real finale script. I read it and I was like, ‘This is a little weird, but, okay, they know what they’re doing.’ And then I realized everyone else was kind of thinking that as well. Then it came time to film it and they said they had changes and we were given a few pages every day… only the ones we needed that day, so it kept us in suspense. It is a terrifying way to work because you don’t know where your character is headed.” Wait a second. I was under the impression that her character was headed to the land of fire and brimstone after committing suicide last Sunday. But Ford is talking as if she played a role in the finale. Maybe she appears in a flashback. Or as a ghost. Or maybe she’s the game-changing twist. Dammit, Sunday, get here already!
Question: You need to throw us Bones/Booth fans a bone here. In the holiday spirit, could you at least tell us when the next big B&B episode will be? —Tessa
Ausiello: Do you consider Brennan undressing Booth big? If so, then the next big B&B episode is this Thursday. Context police: Booth gets covered in the exploded flesh of a suicide bomber and Brennan has to take his clothes for evidence.
Ausiello: Yes. He’s booked to direct the sixth episode back, which, barring any interruptions, will air on May 18. Send your viewing party invites to ausielloscoop@ew.com and I’ll try and hit as many as I can.
