ARROW: David Ramsey Previews Oliver’s Brush with the Law

As if Oliver Queen hasn’t had enough problems in his life recently, in tonight’s episode, he is dealt another blow: an arrest for murder.

For Oliver’s bodyguard/companion, Diggle, he’s left scrambling after his boss gets in trouble.

“My [character’s] reaction to that at first is, ‘How do we handle this?'” David Ramsey (Diggle) told me of his character’s reaction to the arrest. “‘What we need to do is clear your name as quickly as possible.'”

But his concern isn’t exactly shared by Oliver.

SUBURGATORY: Jane Levy Previews ‘Foam Finger,’ Tessa and Ryan’s Budding Romance, and More

A rift is coming on tonight’s episode SUBURGATORY…but probably not the one you might be expecting.

“Dalia gets a little involved with her new stepmother and sort of abandons the KKK,” Jane Levy (Tessa) teased. “And I find the KKK completely lost without their leader, and I figure that Lisa would be a good person to take them under their wing, so I hand them over to Lisa and she has a grand old time….[Tessa] is sort of standing back and watching [it all go down]. I think she’s a little horrified. What it really comes down to is she wants to make sure Dalia is okay.”

Of course, the Dalia and Tessa relationship is now more complex thanks to their parents’ new coupling.

FRINGE: John Noble on ‘Through the Looking Glass and What Walter Found There,’ (Possible) Helpful Observers and the Characters’ Grief

This Friday’s new episode of FRINGE may be partially named for John Noble’s Walter (“Through the Looking Glass and What Walter Found There”…AKA the longest title in FRINGE’s history thus far), but when he talked with reporters on set for the filming the of hour, he was incredibly vague about what actually goes down. Noble was equally vague (but incredibly hilarious) when I questioned whether the team might find assistance in another September-like Observer.

However, Noble was a little more willing to talk about what grief does to the characters we know and love in the fallout from Etta’s death. And as viewers have seen, Peter’s anger and focus has led him down a dark path already.

Take a look at what Noble had to say about FRINGE!

FRIENDS on Blu-Ray: Exclusive First Look at ‘The Cultural Influence of FRIENDS’

For most FRIENDS viewers, odds are you can point to at least one aspect of the show you’ve integrated into your life: a quote, a philosophy, a mannerism, a style, etc. (Personally? It’s eight-plus years since the show went off the air and not only do I watch reruns every day — yes, I’m aware I have a slight addiction to the show — but I also quote it all the time. Apologies if you’re subjected to that on Twitter.) And when FRIENDS: The Complete Series comes out on Blu-Ray a week from today, one of the brand new documentaries on it will examine the impact the comedy had our culture as a large.

Intrigued? We have an exclusive first look at “The Cultural Influence of FRIENDS,” which includes, of course, “The Rachel”…
