SCANDAL: FRIENDS’ Lisa Kudrow to Recur

SCANDAL has booked another big-name guest star to recur on the series: former FRIENDS star Lisa Kudrow!

An ABC rep has confirmed the casting, but there were no additional details available at this time. According to Deadline (who was first to report the casting), Kudrow will play a politician.

The casting puts Kudrow in a position to work on-screen with Dan Bucatinsky (James), who is her long-time producing partner. (They’ve worked on WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? and WEB THERAPY. The duo also appeared in an episode of FRIENDS together in 2002.)

Anyone else dying a bit over this?

SCANDAL: Guillermo Diaz on the ‘Fierce Loyalty’ at Pope & Associates, Another Huck Flashback, and More

As SCANDAL exploded in popularity last season, it became very apparent that due to the “WTF is going on?!” nature of the show — and how drastically the storylines could alter from one episode to the next — there was very little the actors could actually tease about what was to come without giving away too much spoilery goodness.

So it’s no surprise that when I caught up with SCANDAL star Guillermo Diaz (Huck) earlier this week, he was mum about how his character would handle Olivia being outed as the President’s mistress when the show resumes for season 3.

“I can’t really say how he’s handling it, because that would be revealing too much,” teased Diaz. “They still have that fierce loyalty to each other. He’s not judging anybody; he’s not judging her or anybody else. That’s the great thing about Pope & Associates: they’ve all done really bad things and really great things, and none of them are in a place to judge, and they’re all in it together. They all have each other’s backs.”

However, Diaz was able to share that season 3 will once again dive into Huck’s past…and he’ll be dealing with the ramifications of enabling Quinn’s newfound love of torture.

SCANDAL: FRINGE’s Jasika Nicole on Playing Kim, Fandom Response, and the Possibility of Returning

For five seasons, Jasika Nicole was woefully underrated (and underused) on FRINGE, so when she appeared on SCANDAL last week, television viewers got to see a whole new side to her: Nicole’s character, Kim, was revealed via flashbacks to be Huck’s wife…and the mother of their son. Unfortunately for Huck, his bosses didn’t approve of his family life, so they kept him in isolation until he was brainwashed into forgetting he had a family.

But with Huck suffering a nervous breakdown (and repeatedly murmuring the time when he last saw his wife and son), it sure seems like it would make sense for Kim to appear in the present day. To find out if that’s on the horizon, I spoke with Nicole about her experience on SCANDAL, passionate fandoms, and more…

SCANDAL: John Barrowman to Guest Star

SCANDAL has nabbed yet another awesome guest star: ABC has confirmed that TORCHWOOD star (and current ARROW big bad) John Barrowman will appear in an upcoming episode.

While details of his role are being kept on the down low for now, SCANDAL creator Shonda Rhimes tweeted her joy about the casting earlier this afternoon: “John Barrowman is here working at @ScandalABC today. Life is good. #torchwood #captainjack #iamanerd”

Barrowman is set to appear in the May 9th episode of SCANDAL.

I mean…how great is this casting?!

SCANDAL has continued its fantastic guest star casting — ABC has confirmed that former FRINGE star Jasika Nicole will guest star on an upcoming episode of the series.

SCANDAL: Scott Foley Books Mysterious Role

Scott Foley is reuniting with his former GREY’S ANATOMY boss, Shonda Rhimes: ABC confirms that Foley (who played Henry on the ABC medical series) has landed a role on Rhimes’ newest series, SCANDAL.

According to TVLine (who was first to report the casting), Foley will be a part of a “major arc” towards the end of the season, but no other details about his character are known at this time.

Foley is also a part of the Fox midseason series, THE GOODWIN GAMES, which recently had its order cut. (The airdate on that is still TBD.)

CASTLE’s Darby Stanchfield Teases Meredith’s Return: ‘She Opens a Whole Other Can of Worms’

CASTLE fans, look out: Deep Fried Twinkie (AKA Meredith, Castle’s first ex-wife) is back!

With Alexis sick, her mother decides now would be a good time to visit — and as such, she ends up staying at Castle’s place when Beckett is also there (due to B’s apartment renovations). As you can imagine, things are going to get a bit difficult for a certain ruggedly handsome author.

To find out how bad things are going to get, I spoke with Darby Stanchfield (Meredith) — who is also currently starring on SCANDAL as Abby — about her character’s return, stirring up trouble, and more…

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…
