Comic-Con 2012: GLEE Will Have a Panel

Less than one week after 20th Century Fox unveiled its Comic-Con schedule with GLEE absent for the first time in the show’s run, there’s been a change of plans: the musical series will be attending the convention after all!

According to TVLine, the lineup isn’t too shabby, either. Stars Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Darren Criss, Kevin McHale, Jenna Ushkowitz, Naya Rivera, and co-creator Brad Falchuk are currently scheduled to attend GLEE’s panel.

If you’re thinking about attending, the GLEE-fest is scheduled to take place Saturday, July 14, from 6-7 PM in the Indigo Room.

What do you think? Will you be lining up to see the GLEE panel?

THE SECRET CIRCLE Cast Dishes On Working Together: Who Was Most Likely to Crack, Who Ad-Libbed the Most and More

When I visited the Vancouver set of THE SECRET CIRCLE in early April, I thought it would be fun to grill the actors about working with each other —  after I finished talking with the stars about the series and what they were filming for the finale, of course.

The intention was to put up these five videos as a nice little fun post between seasons 1 and 2 to help make the hiatus a little less painful. Instead, The CW ended up canceling the series, so now this entire thing feels a whole lot more bittersweet than I intended it to be.

But since these guys did clearly enjoy working with each other — and shared some sweet stories — take a look at Thomas Dekker (Adam), Jessica Parker Kennedy (Melissa), Chris Zylka (Jake), and Shelley Hennig (Diana) dishing on who was most likely to ad-lib, who is most like their character, who was most likely to crack while filming and more…

Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Monday, June 11, 2012

In case you were still looking for more programming to fill your Monday nights, ABC Family has the return of THE SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER and the series debut of BUNHEADS.

Take a look for the whole lineup…

The Bachelorette | 8pm on ABC
“Episode 805”
Explosive drama underlines the group’s trip to historic London. From Buckingham Palace to the Tower of London, Emily and Sean share the romance of the city. Shakespearian theatre will never be the same once eight men on a group date invade the Bard’s birthplace, Stratford-upon-Avon, to perform classic scenes from “Romeo and Juliet.” However, the after party turns from going to a pub for a brew to a brawl when Emily discovers that one of the men has made a disrespectful comment about her daughter, Ricki. Not only does Emily confront the offender, but she finds none of the other men support her and ends up making some stunning decisions. Jef and Emily have a proper English tea, but decide to ditch their stern etiquette teacher and escape to a local pub. Trying to put the drama about her daughter aside, she takes Jef to one of the most romantic spots in the city – the London Eye, a gigantic Ferris wheel on the banks of the Thames River. But Emily makes it her personal mission at the cocktail party to find out which guys knew about the offensive comment and why they didn’t warn her earlier about the insulting bachelor. Do any of these men have her back? She needs to find out and fast, as the group travels to Croatia next.

Hell’s Kitchen | 8pm on Fox
“16 Chefs Compete”
Chef Ramsay once again pits the women against the men for an intense challenge in which they must serve classic all-American fare to some very special diners. While the winning team takes a rewarding and relaxing day trip, the losing team is left behind to clean up the mess. Tune in to see which contestants get Gordon Ramsay’s stamp of approval.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager | 8pm on ABC Family | Season Premiere
“To Begin With…”
In the one-hour episode, “To Begin With…,” Ricky and Amy decide to run off together to escape all the drama at home with Anne’s recent announcement that she’s gay and Ashley’s return home. But, will they decide to say ‘I Do’? Meanwhile, Ben struggles with the knowledge that he may have contributed to burning down Dylan’s school. And, now that Adrian is done with summer school and graduated, she’s looking forward to college and Grace makes some difficult decisions about her relationships.

So much more. Keep reading…

DROP DEAD DIVA: Carter MacIntyre on Playing the ‘Devilish’ New Guardian Angel, Luke

Yes, there’s a new guardian angel in Jane’s life, and his name is Luke Daniels. Played by Carter MacIntyre, Luke’s persona is more devilish than angelic, and that’s just one thing that MacIntyre likes about the character. Carter participated in a conference call with reporters recently and answered a few questions about this season and how he sees Luke’s character affecting Jane and the rest of the team.

SCANDAL: Henry Ian Cusick Won’t Return For Season 2, Josh Malina Promoted to Series Regular

SCANDAL is going to look a little bit different when season 2 debuts: an ABC spokesperson confirms that Henry Ian Cusick (Stephen) will not be a part of the series’ sophomore year, calling the move a “mutual decision.” The casting news was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

The only bright side of Cusick being off SCANDAL? It could potentially clear the way for him to return to FRINGE for the show’s upcoming final season. (Last we saw his character on the Fox series, he sacrificed himself in amber — in the year 2036 — in order to free Peter, with the hopes of saving humanity from the Observers. With the show rumored to be spending at least part of the fifth season in the future, it would make sense to touch back on that at some point.)
