RINGER: Eric Charmelo and Pam Veasey on the Violent Twist in ‘A Whole New Kind of Bitch’

[Warning: if you haven’t seen the “A Whole New Kind of Bitch” episode of RINGER turn away now. The following post includes spoilers on a key element of the hour and you won’t want to have it ruined.]

After Bridget finally revealed to Gemma in last week’s episode that Siobhan had died and B had taken over her life, things were bound to blow up in tonight’s episode. And boy did they ever.

RINGER: Eric Charmelo Previews ‘A Whole New Kind Of Bitch’

At the end of the last episode of RINGER, Bridget finally told Gemma that she was impersonating Siobhan. But where does the series go now?

“Just because the secret’s out to one person, doesn’t mean it’s out to the collective,” series co-creator Eric Charmelo teased to reporters earlier this week. “The drive in the episode is to try and contain the oil spill, if you will. Will Gemma be a friend or a foe? Will she be an ally or an adversary?”

BONES Season 7 Cast Photos

With a little over three weeks until BONES premieres, it’s now time for fun things to come out — like new cast photos! Well, they’re mostly new.

As you can see from the cast shot below — which features series stars Emily Deschanel (Brennan), David Boreanaz (Booth), Michaela Conlin (Angela), TJ Thyne (Hodgins), Tamara Taylor (Cam) and John Francis Daley (Sweets) — Fox clearly reused the Boreanaz/Deschanel promo shot from season 6 and photoshopped the rest of the cast around them. But, still, it’s semi-new, and the shots of the supporting cast are all new pictures.
