FRINGE’s Joshua Jackson Teases The Team is ‘Constantly Under Threat’

For as many changes as FRINGE has undergone throughout the years, one of the constants has been that the team (whether it was in our universe or Over There) gets together, investigates the freaky event of the week, and makes the world a little bit safer.

But now as FRINGE embarks on the final hours of the series, not only are we 20-plus years in the future, but since we’re smack in the middle of Observergeddon, there aren’t really “cases of the week” for the team to investigate. However, thanks to the newly discovered tapes that Walter left behind pre-ambering, our Fringe team will have a new road map that will shape how the foreseeable future of the series will play out, format-wise.

“We are in the midst of the device that gets introduced in episode 1, about the tapes,” Joshua Jackson (Peter) told reporters on set late last month. “So that becomes kind of…the motivational device, plot device, of every episode this season.”

Unfortunately, because things have changed so much, the danger is all the more apparent as the team continues with their journey.

GOSSIP GIRL: ARROW’s Katie Cassidy to Return

As GOSSIP GIRL winds down, executive producer Sara Goodman teased to us recently that “we have some old faces coming back.” And while she declined to name names at the time, at least one of the returning characters has been identified: ARROW star Katie Cassidy was photographed on the New York set of GOSSIP GIRL yesterday and sources confirm that her character, Juliet, will appear in the show’s upcoming series finale.

While I’m thrilled to see Cassidy back in the GOSSIP GIRL orbit, I’m so curious about why Juliet is returning after two years away. Is she there to reunite with Nate? Cause trouble for Serena (even though the original one-sided feud was caused by a misunderstanding)? Get payback against Lily? Is she really Gossip Girl?

Or, perhaps, you have your own theory about what Ms. Sharp is up to in the GOSSIP GIRL series finale?

Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Friday, October 12, 2012

With MADE IN JERSEY the first show pulled from the season, your Friday night looks a bit different this week than last week did.

Take a look at all your options…

Fringe | 9pm on Fox
“The Recordist”
As the rogue Fringe team continues to fight off the oppressive Observers’ invasion, unforeseen events lead them into a forest where they encounter a strange subculture of people devoted to recording human history. [Take a look at a photo/video preview and what Jasika Nicole (Astrid) had to tease about the season!]

Grimm | 9pm on NBC
“The Bottle Imp”
After investigating a grisly murder, clues lead Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) to a seemingly unstable father (guest star Josh Stewart) who is on the run with his daughter. As they learn more about the case they realize that the girl’s father may be the least of their worries. At the spice shop, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) finds out filling in for Rosalee (Bree Turner) isn’t as simple as he’d hoped it would be. Meanwhile, Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) finds himself paying unwarranted attention to more than one woman from his past.

FRINGE: Jasika Nicole on Astrid’s Life in 2036

You’d think that after spending more than 20 years in amber, a character might be thrown for a loop or two about all of the shifts in the world around them. But for FRINGE’s Astrid, aside from objecting to a computer game not accepting her word as a legitimate option and having to deal with admittedly questionable food, she’s handling the change fairly well.

“She seems to be the most well-adjusted character in the television show,” Jasika Nicole (Astrid) — correctly — noted to reporters in the video below. But that’s not to say this new situation doesn’t fascinate her: “I think she is so intrigued that she’s living in the middle of a real Fringe event.”

Take a look at the video for more teases from Nicole, including why they need Astrid more than ever, why they’re “Fringe ninjas,” how Astrid is having to help piece the puzzle of the tapes together, why Walter’s in a “really rough area,” and more…

FRINGE: ‘The Recordist’ Photo and Video Preview

Now that the Fringe team has Walter’s tapes to steer them towards their path towards saving us all, it seems like they may be meeting all sorts of people on that journey.

In “The Recordist,” the Fox press release teases the team “encounter a strange subculture of people devoted to recording human history,” which makes me think the comments we got on the really freaking awesome FRINGE promo for the episode may not be far off…perhaps, it’s how this group of people views the pre-amber Fringe team?

Take a look at some photos and video clips from the episode!

Watch NASHVILLE’s Take on The Civil Wars’ ‘If I Didn’t Know Better’

One of my favorite moments from any pilot in the 2012-2013 season was the end of ABC’s NASHVILLE, when Scarlett and Gunnar sing a haunting version of The Civil Wars’ “If I Didn’t Know Better” (which, in the series, was an original song)…and I’m absolutely and totally obsessed with it.

If you want to rewatch the scene (or if you missed it the first time around and are curious about why I’m gushing), take a look!

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlv1-PJDXgU&hd=1[/youtube]

The music from NASHVILLE is available on iTunes. And if you’re curious about The Civil Wars, you can download a free live album from them (which includes “If I Didn’t Know Better”) right here.

NASHVILLE airs Wednesdays at 10 PM on ABC.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST: Kristin Kreuk Teases Her New CW Series

After spending more than seven seasons playing Lana Lang on SMALLVILLE, Kristin Kreuk has been largely MIA from our television screens. But tonight, she returns to The CW to play Catherine in their take on BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.

“It was [executive producers Jennifer Levin and Sherri Cooper],” Kreuk told me of what drew her to BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. “Yes, the cupcakes, that was more of an aside thing, but I fell in love with the two of them. And I thought that what they wanted to do, the story they wanted to tell, was very wonderful. And I thought we could build a really strong, complex, female character together. And that was important to me.”

And for Kreuk, one of the aspects of playing this character includes stepping outside of her own comfort zone to play a cop.

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES: Kat Graham Teases Season 4 Will ‘Blow Your Mind’

Back in May, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES star Kat Graham (Bonnie) teased that people had no idea how huge the season finale of her show was going to be, and man, was she correct.

And now, it’s months later, we’ve survived the hiatus, and when I spoke with Graham recently, she indicated that things are as crazy as ever.

Take a look at her teases about the fallout from Bonnie’s deal with Klaus, how she’s dealing with Elena’s transition, why “everything stops” when she’s reading her scripts, and so much more…

Report: Matt Bomer to Guest Star on THE NEW NORMAL

It seems like we’re set to learn more about the dating life THE NEW NORMAL’s Bryan had before he settled down with David: THE NEW NORMAL co-creator Ryan Murphy tweeted that WHITE COLLAR’s Matt Bomer will be guest starring in an upcoming episode as Bryan’s ex-boyfriend.

No further details are known at this time, but this isn’t the first time Bomer has collaborated with Murphy — Bomer appeared in season 3 of GLEE as Blaine’s brother and will appear in the upcoming movie, THE NORMAL HEART, which Murphy directed.

Are you excited to see Bomer on THE NEW NORMAL?

GREY’S ANATOMY Stages SCREAM 3 Reunion: Neve Campbell to Guest Star

With Derek going through some problems on GREY’S ANATOMY, now is perfect time to introduce another one of his sisters: ABC has confirmed that Neve Campbell will appear on the medical drama.

According to TVLine (who was first to report the casting), Campbell will be sticking around for a few episodes, but there’s no word on which of the two as-yet-introduced Shepherd sisters she’ll be playing.

On a geeky note, this marks a SCREAM reunion for Campbell (who played Sidney in all four SCREAM movies) and her new on-screen TV brother (Patrick Dempsey — who plays Derek on GA — played Detective Kincaid in SCREAM 3). Odds are good it won’t be acknowledged, but I’m excited about it.

Are you excited to see Campbell on GREY’S ANATOMY?
