The concept behind Dollhouse is well-known to any viewer planning to tune in to this upcoming Fox drama:

Let by Echo (Eliza Dushku), individuals have their memories erased and are used as spies/agents in a series of undercover missions.

Having seen the series premiere, airing on February 13, we can reports a few facts fans will uncover during the opening hour:

• People exorbitant fees to the Actives employed by the Dollhouse.

• The Dollhouse performs thorough background checks on all clients.

• When on a mission, each Active receive a “personality imprint” that provides him/her with typical memories.

• During missions, Actives are monitored internally (and remotely) by Handlers.

• The Dollhouse serves as a home base when Actives are not in the field. They live, eat, sleep, shower, learn and train together there.

• The Actives, at one point, volunteered for the work in the Dollhouse; they gave up five years of their lives in order to receive a large sum of money - along no memory of anything they did for the Dollhouse - at the conclusion of their service.

Donna Martin is, indeed, returning to 90210 in March.

While Zap2It reports she'll be coming back to town alone, the website assures fans that Donna and David are still married.

Kelly and Donna relive old times later this year on 90210.

The couple is living in Japan where Donna is a fashion success. However, she's contemplating a move back to Beverly Hills.

If she does relocate, what will that mean for her rocky relationship with David? We'll need to tune in and find out!

Yes, that was Vincent Curatola guest-starring this week on Life on Mars.

And, according to Zap2It, this won't be the last time fans of The Sopranos see the actor best known as "Johnny Sack" on the ABC drama.

Moreover, reports indicate that fans will see more Gene's daughter Maria (Maggie Siff). She''' be sticking around for several episodes. Where will her relationship with Sam go?

Oh, and what's in the basement? We'll find that out, as well.

Looks like we're getting yet another new character on Lost starting in episode fourteen this season.  According to Korbi TV, the Lost producers are looking for a new actress to play Sophie, who will be in her late 30s, British, a prim and proper arisocratic type who can be tough when she needs to protect her family. 

Oh and apparently she needs to be relatively short for "matching purposes."  I wonder what that means.
