A bit of General Hospital casting news for the summer:
Before there was Desperate Housewives, Melinda Clarke was the original desperate housewife on The O.C. Now, television's favorite MILF will be transferring those skills to Entourage, as she returns this season.
Clarke has played a fictionalized version of herself on the show in the past, one that is married to Terrance McQuewick. Now, her "character" will return and will be starring in a television show within the show about a housewife by day and a spy by night.
In other Entourage news, Michael Ausiello has already watch the July 12 season premiere and informs us that the episode is mostly about Ari and Lloyd. Basically, Lloyd wants a promotion and Ari isn't giving him one.
The Ugly Betty season three finale certainly set things up for Daniel Eric Gold's Matt to return on the show, considering his father put him in charge of Mode.
It looks like Daniel Eric Gold will not only appear next season, but has been promoted to full-on series regular for season four. So, does that mean things will be good for television's most boring couple, Mette?
Betty producers are supposedly casting a lovable and blue collarish love interest for Betty that will get in the way of the couple. Hmm, didn't we already see this before?
Oh yeah, Gio.
Due to coverage of Wimbledon, Days of Our Lives only airs three new episodes next week. These developments take place during those episodes...
Look out, Naomi.
While AnnaLynne McCord waxes poetic about Chuck Bass and a possible Melrose Place crossover, 90210 is planning a new nemesis for her character.
The show has signed up former Law & Order actress Elisabeth Rohm as a guest star for the fall. She'll appear in at least one episode as a bitchy socialite that locks horns with Naomi.
Over a man? We'll have to wait and see. But what else could it be, right?
Yes, Bryan Fuller has left Heroes again.
But star Greg Grunberg has told fans not to worry.
Via Twitter, Grunberg says the writer is "leaving [Heroes] in great hands... the scripts for season 4 and the stories we're about to tell will ROCK YOUR WORLD. BEST. SEASON. EVER."
Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly reports that the show is casting for an 11-year old actor to play a younger version of Nathan.
How come? You tell us. Sound off now in our Heroes forum!
Considering the fact that the show's main character is in a mental institution, it might seem like a no-brainer to say that changes will abound on season six of House.
But executive producer Katie Jacobs gets more specific in a recent talk with Michael Ausiello, telling the Entertainment Weekly columnist that Princeton Plainsboro will look different in the fall.
"How [the hospital] works when he comes back will be different," said Jacobs. "A doctor can't check into a mental institution and just walk back into his job like nothing happened. We will not start forsaking reality. This [story] will have consequences."
One thing that won't change, however, is the basic ignoring of Chase and Cameron's private life, Jacobs added.
"I don't know that we will show any more of their private lives that we have anyone else's. The hospital stuff is first and foremost for us and everything we show furthers those storylines. I don't think love-dovey, at-home relations is what people watch our show for."
Private Practice prescribed growth for Pete Wilder in Season Two.
Originally introduced as a cocky bad boy for Addy to lust after, Tim Daly's character has since been revealed to have a noble past with Doctors Without Borders.
What's more, when a fling with Violet Turner (Amy Brenneman) caught fire and resulted in her pregnancy, Pete even stepped up to profess his paternal leanings.
Tim Daly chatted with TV Guide this week, reflecting on his character's evolution, as well as wish for Wilder days ahead when the series returns in September.
Q: When we spoke at the start of Season Two, you had certain hopes for Pete's trajectory. How satisfied were you with how things actually played out?
Tim Daly: I was pretty happy. He remains rather mysterious, and he seems to be vacillating between being a lothario and someone who wants to have a more meaningful relationship.
We left him making a strong play for Violet, and in a very earnest way. I'm not sure where he's going to wind up, but... I'm still interested in him. It's funny - I like the character a lot, and usually when I like someone I wish them smooth sailing. But as an actor I hope that Season 3 offers nothing but trouble for Pete. It's so much more fun when you have something going through a lot of s--t.
Q: Did you fear that a Pete-Violet hook-up would be a tough sell?
Tim Daly: You know, I didn't really think of it that way. I thought that Pete and Violet were oddly good together ...
Q: Which we quickly saw. But the way they were abruptly thrown together, sometimes that can backfire on a story.
Tim Daly: Yeah, but I like working with Amy [Brenneman] so much, I thought we should just let it rip and see what happens. So far, it's good. Again, relationships on television played out over a long period of time are only good when there are tons of problems, and clearly they have some coming up. I also feel there's an inevitability to Pete and Addison at some point getting together. So many fans continue to reference that to me, so... we'll see.
