GOSSIP GIRL Casts Barry Watson

GOSSIP GIRL is getting a little bit HEAVEN-ly in search for Serena’s newest suitor — The CW has confirmed that 7TH HEAVEN alumni Barry Watson has joined the series in a recurring role. (Okay, that was a terrible joke. I apologize for that.)

According to TVLine — who was first to report the casting news — Watson will play Steven Spence, a young entrepreneur.

Do you think Watson’s Steven will be enough to win Serena’s heart during the final season. Or are you holding out hope for a reunion between S and either Dan or Nate?

PERCEPTION: Eric McCormack and Rachael Leigh Cook Preview Their New TNT Series

TNT debuts its newest crime-solving show tonight, and due to them wanting to keep a few key elements of the show a secret until the show premieres, we’re going to have to be a little bit vague about what we say about the series.

Here’s what we can tell you about the new Eric McCormack series: McCormack plays Dr. Daniel Pierce, a neuroscience professor who is recruited by his former student, Kate Moretti (played by Rachael Leigh Cook), to assist in FBI cases. Daniel has a mental illness that both makes him a useful (and important) asset to solving these crimes, but that can also make him an incredibly loose cannon.

Give Me My Remote visited the set of PERCEPTION, where McCormack and Cook sat down with reporters to talk about their new show…
