PERSON OF INTEREST: EPISODES’ Kathleen Rose Perkins to Guest Star

EPISODES star Kathleen Rose Perkins is heading to PERSON OF INTEREST, a rep for the CBS series has confirmed.

Perkins (who first revealed the guest spot on her Twitter account) will be playing Vanessa, a former prosecutor who “outwitted and outworked everyone before she quit her job.” And while it might seem like she’s one of the good guys, she’s described as “intelligent, intense, and always three steps ahead…vulnerable, unpredictable, but never without purpose, we don’t know whether to sympathize with Vanessa… or fear her.”

Uh oh…

PERSON OF INTEREST’s third season kicks off on Tuesday, September 24th at 10 PM on CBS.

EPISODES Books REVOLUTION’s Tracy Spiridakos

EPISODES’ Morning (played by Mircea Monroe) is having her family expanded in the upcoming third season: a Showtime rep confirms that REVOLUTION star Tracy Spiridakos will guest star on an upcoming season 3 episode as Morning’s sister, Dawn. Zap2it was first to report the casting.

So, clearly Morning (and Dawn’s) parents have a theme going with their kids’ names, but what are you hoping to see when the sisters are together on-screen?

EPISODES is set to return to Showtime in early 2014.

Top 13 TV Shows of 2012

Once again, I need to start off my list with a caveat: I’m behind on some quality shows. So yes, there may be some amazing television not listed here, but I’m not going to pretend to love a show that gets universal praise just to do it. I love what I love and I certainly watch enough television to speak about a whole lot of shows I do watch. And heck, this list expanded twice (went from 10 shows to 12 until I ultimately settled on 13), and if I had let myself think about it more, it’s likely I could have added another two shows (or 20).

So, with that being said, here are my top 13 television shows of 2012 in descending order…
