THE VAMPIRE DIARIES Lands Former THE SECRET CIRCLE Star Phoebe Tonkin

THE SECRET CIRCLE may be gone, but Phoebe Tonkin is sticking around on The CW.

Warner Bros. has confirmed that Tonkin has landed a recurring role on THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, which is a multi-layered reunion of sorts for her: not only did THE VAMPIRE DIARIES co-creator Kevin Williamson executive produce THE SECRET CIRCLE, but Tonkin also previously costarred with TVD’s Claire Holt in H2O: JUST ADD WATER.

So who will Tonkin be playing on TVD when she shows up in the third episode of the season?

Happy ‘ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT Has Started Filming the Netflix Series’ Day!

Taste the happy, guys!

More than six years after ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT aired its final episode on Fox (and more than four years after series star Jason Bateman teased that a movie could be a possibility), production starts today on brand new episodes of the series. (Have I mentioned lately how much I love Netflix for making these 10 episodes possible? I’ll leave the upcoming movie out of the equation for a moment, but yay for these episodes!)

Given that I’ve long said I wouldn’t totally get my hopes up on this actually coming to fruition until filming actually started, I’m a wee bit excited about today. (I may have spent part of the weekend marathoning the show and then used my spare time going on YouTube to find clips. Allegedly.) But, as you’ll see from the rest of this post, clearly only the normal amount of excited.

While GMMR has had some fun ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT posts in the past (including the top 5 episodes of the series, plus a fun, fan-made trailer of the series as an action movie), in order to properly celebrate what should be a national holiday, I’ve rounded up some of the best moments from the series so we can all enjoy the Bluths together…

Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Tuesday, August 7, 2012

Thanks to the Olympics, it’s a relatively easy night for television.

Take a look at the options you do have…

Pretty Little Liars | 8pm on ABC Family
“The Kahn Game”
Spencer and Aria find themselves at the Kahn brothers’ party in hopes of saving Spencer’s college career. What originally was going to be a quick stop by to ask a favor of CeCe’s friend turns into an opportunity for Aria and Spencer to get some answers from Jenna with a heated game of “Truth.” But will Aria and Spencer be willing to give up some of their “truths” to get the answers they are looking for? Meanwhile, Hanna gets another text from “A” about Caleb.

So much more. Keep reading…

NBC Releases Spoiler-ific REVOLUTION Extended Preview

If you were hoping to go into the series premiere of NBC’s REVOLUTION spoiler free, for the love of all that is holy and unholy, look away now.

The new J.J. Abrams-produced and Eric Kripke-created series (about life 15 years after the power goes out) isn’t set to debut on Monday, September 17th at 10 PM on NBC, but this new nearly 3 minute trailer does reveal a whole heck of a lot about what goes down in the show’s first hour. (Plus, as a bonus, it’s the first look we get of the recently-added Elizabeth Mitchell to the series.)

If you want to be spoiled, take a look…

DON’T TRUST THE B—- IN APARTMENT 23 Stages a DAWSON’S CREEK Reunion

It’s official: DON’T TRUST THE B—- IN APARTMENT 23 is hosting a DAWSON’S CREEK reunion.

While much of the talk about potential guest stars for a reunion on the ABC comedy had focused around Joshua Jackson (who professed a desire to appear on the series) or Michelle Williams, it is actually Busy Philipps (Audrey on WB series and currently Laurie on COUGAR TOWN) who is the first former CREEKer to sign on to APARTMENT 23, ABC confirms. (TVGuide.com was first to report the casting.)

RAISING HOPE: Wilmer Valderrama Books Multi-Episode Arc

Sabrina’s home life is about to get massively interesting on RAISING HOPE.

First, Melanie Griffith signed on to play Sabrina’s mother, Tamara, and then Tippi Hedren (Griffith’s real-life mother) sealed a deal to play Sabrina’s grandmother, Nana. But if that wasn’t crazy enough, Fox has confirmed that former AWAKE star Wilmer Valderrama has booked a multi-episode arc on the Fox comedy as Griffith’s love interest. (EW.com was first to report the casting news.)

There’s no way Sabrina is going to handle this well, right?

RAISING HOPE returns Tuesday, October 2nd at 8 PM on Fox.

Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Monday, August 6, 2012

Take a look at all of your choices for tonight…

Bachelor Pad | 8pm on ABC
“Episode 303”
After a couple of fans managed to dodge elimination last week, they hit their stride both strategically and romantically. The third challenge of the season will plunge the contestants up to their heads in “Hot Sludge Funday,” an ice-cream themed obstacle course. Awaiting the winners are 3-on-1 dates to relive high school memories and to get shined up at Madame Tussaud’s famous Hollywood wax museum. Back at the house, contestants will start coupling up romantically, including one fan who, after being spurned by the cast member of her dreams, will have better luck on the rebound.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager | 8pm on ABC Family
“Setting Things Straight”
Ricky’s new life in college makes Amy jealous.

 

So much more. Keep reading…

ONCE UPON A TIME Casts Michael Raymond-James

Stop me if you’ve heard this before — ONCE UPON A TIME has added to its season 2 cast. (Yes, this is the second casting post we’ve done for OUAT today.)

ABC has confirmed that former TERRIERS star Michael Raymond-James has landed a spot on the series, but beyond that, details of who he’ll be playing, when he’ll be popping up, etc. are slim. EW.com was first to report the news.

Ideally? Given that Captain Hook was just cast, if his character is someone we already know, I’d love to see him as Mr. Smee. If it’s someone entirely new, I don’t know if I’d rather he play a good or bad guy…

Are you excited to see Raymond-James on OUAT?

GLEE Deleted Scenes: Ryan Murphy Tweets Cut Warblers Song and Rachel/Jesse Duet

Ever feel like scenes are designed to make one specific person happy? Well, after viewing these two deleted GLEE scenes that Ryan Murphy tweeted out today, I’m fairly certain these scenes existed just to make Give Me My Remote owner Kath Skerry squeal with delight.

I mean, a bonus Warblers number (as they sing Michael Jackson)? Rachel and Jesse singing from “A Chorus Line”? Yep, Kath is going to be thrilled. (And hey, I’m not objecting, either.)

Want to join the fun? Take a look at the scenes in question…

UNFORGETTABLE: Poppy Montgomery on CBS Canceling (and Then Renewing) Her Series, and What Season 2 Might Look Like

For fans of UNFORGETTABLE, the past couple of months have been quite the wild ride.

First, CBS pulled the plug on the drama series. Then — shortly afters rumors swirled that the show might end up on Lifetime or another cable channel — word spread that CBS was looking to pick up the show (again) for a summer run, before it became official nine days later.

Now, with the series all set to go next summer at CBS, I spoke with series star Poppy Montgomery (Carrie) about what this entire experience has been like for her, what she hopes to see for Carrie next season, and what she thinks the format might be like…

THE FOLLOWING: Annie Parisse Joins as a Series Regular

THE FOLLOWING has made an addition to its cast.

With Jeananne Goossen (who played Jennifer Mason in THE FOLLOWING’s pilot) off the series, Annie Parisse will join the Fox drama playing Debra Parker, Warner Bros. has confirmed.

So what exactly will Parker bring to the series? She’s an FBI specialist who is brought in to lead the investigation of cult leader Joe Carroll (played by James Purefoy) and his followers. (She’ll also be working with Kevin Bacon’s Ryan Hardy, who was responsible for capturing Carroll the first time around.) According to EW.com, the character is also “super smart with a good sense of humor, and is not above using her sex appeal if necessary.”

Are you excited to see what Parisse will bring to the series?

ONCE UPON A TIME Finds Its Captain Hook!

ONCE UPON A TIME fans got a little tease that Captain Hook was coming to the series, and now it’s official — ABC has confirmed that Colin O’Donoghue has landed the pivotal role. The news was first reported by Deadline.

While details are scarce on when Hook will first show up on ONCE UPON A TIME, O’Donoghue is just one of many actors who have joined the drama’s second season: so far, OUAT has made plans for Lancelot (Sinqua Walls), Prince Phillip (Julian Morris), Sleeping Beauty (Sarah Bolger) and Mulan (Jamie Chung) to arrive, as well as bumped Meghan Ory (who plays Ruby/Red) and Emilie de Ravin (who plays Beauty) to series regulars.

Sure seems like season 2 is going to be busy!

ONCE UPON A TIME season 2 premieres Sunday, September 30th at 8 PM.
