Late last week, a trio of key FlashForward players spoke to TV Guide Magazine.

Star Joseph Finnes (Mark Benford), producer David Goyer and producer Marc Guggenheim sat down with William Keck and revealed a number of key tidbits for the highly-anticipated ABC drama...

Fiennes, on multiple flash forwards: It will occur again. I think at the end of each season, all the characters will get another flash forward to deepen their storylines.

Fiennes, on images his character sees in the future: There's some beautiful images of a black swan, which is very startling. There's a curious man with a widow's peek and very thick glasses and a very intense look. There's some beautiful paintings of serpents and weird-headed animals. It's going to get quite surreal.

Goyer, on Dominic Monaghan's character: Simon is a genius, He went to college when he was 14 years old. He's a very conflicted character. He's very much the opposite of Charlie on Lost. People are going to see a different side of Dominic Monaghan, which is something he was pretty excited about. Charlie was a boy, Dominic plays a man in this show.

Guggenheim, on new characters: We will meet Dimitri's (John Cho) fiance, Zoey, the one he talks about in the pilot. We're going to meet her in episode three. She's an attorney. (Note: Gabrielle Union will play this part.)

WWE taped the latest edition of Friday Night Smackdown in Baltimore, Maryland this week.

On the card, Cryme Tyme fought for a spot at SummerSlam, while Jeff Hardy took on John Morrison in the main event.

Instead of bouncing around the space-time continuum on Lost this fall, the lovely Elizabeth Mitchell is fighting reptilian aliens on a remake of the '80s miniseries V.

However, that doesn't mean Juliet doesn't make at least an appearance in the sixth and final season of Lost. Here are excerpts of E! Online's Q&A with the star ...

Q: When I read the pilot, I absolutely called that the part of Erica Evans was written for you, despite the reports that you were just a guest star on the series.

A: They actually said that it kind of was, but they didn't think I was going to be able to do it. I love the idea that it was so different from Juliet.

We have someone who's got a lot more hope this time, a lot more excitement.

Q: For who don't know too much about V, can you discuss your character?

A: Erica is a federal agent doing counterterrorism. She deals with finding sleeper cells and basically eradicating them as much as possible. She's smart and intelligent and all the things that you would want someone who is protecting our country to be. I must have a hero complex. I keep gravitating toward these roles. She has a son, and she's in love with her son, and her son is in love with the Visitors. She has to deal with the fact that she has to save him for the most part. Her husband just left her, so she's a brokenhearted counterterrorist detective.

Q: When it comes down to it, what's more important, protecting your son or protecting the world?

A: I think it's going to come down to both being the same thing. I think her son is becoming a huge example of what is going wrong, of the fact that this is becoming insidious, that these people are like toxins seeping into our groundwater. They're going to be everywhere. I think it's a little bit terrifying. She's actively trying to do something about it, and it's like the smallest person you can imagine against an army of millions. I like those odds. I think they make for good drama.

When we left Bon Temps on Sunday's True Blood, we were left hanging from a major cliff as Daphne betrayed Sam and brought him to his almost certain death at the hands of Maryann.  So what do we have forward to looking to when the show returns this weekend with a new episode, "Release Me?"

Well according to HBO's official logline, you can expect:

Betrayed by Daphne, Sam finds himself in an unenviable predicament at the hands of Maryann and her wild-eyed minions. Imprisoned with Hugo in the F.O.T.S. church, Sookie uses her telepathic powers to reach out to Bill, who’s being detained at the hotel by a stubbornly obsessive Lorena. After crossing a line with the Newlins, a fearful Jason tries to sever his ties with the Fellowship of the Sun, but gets plenty of resistance from Steve and his enforcer Gabe.

And no, don't worry, there's a 0% shot Sam actually dies.  He's in next week's logline as well.  Coming soon to a TV Fanatic site near you.

Call us crazy, but we don't think Warehouse 13's Leena is just a bed and breakfast inn keeper.

Artie's pal seems to possess psychic powers and/or an intimate knowledge of the warehouse's history. What, exactly, is her deal?

We'll find out soon.

According to TV Guide, actress Genelle Williams is signed for at least four more episodes - and Lenna will figure prominently in the Warehouse 13 season finale. How so?

You'll need to tune in and find out!

Following season one of 90210, it was unclear if Jennie Garth would reprise her role of Kelly Taylor on upcoming episodes of The CW series.

Earlier this month, though, we received word that Garth would, indeed, be back as the character that made her famous.

Now, TV Guide reports that Kelly won't just roam the halls of West Beverly again - she might be involved in a whopper of a storyline!

Sources tell the publication that a Harry/Kelly affair is "definitely part of a long-term plan." This plot point, at least as far as Kelly's feelings go, was hinted at in the show's May finale.

But we're shocked they'd actually go there. Harry and Kelly are both likable, seemingly upstanding characters. Do you wanna see them sleep together?

Chime in now in our 90210 forum!

Brothers & Sisters returns to ABC with new episodes on September 27.

As previously reported, the show will get even better looking on its season premiere, as Gilles Marini kicks off his guest-starring stint as Sarah's new boyfriend.

Based on TV Guide's latest column of scoops and spoilers, here are a couple other fall storylines to keep an eye out for:

• Kitty and Robert will continue to put on facade that they are happily married, as the latter runs for governor;
• Justin will be busy pursuing his doctor dream;
• Marion Ross will reprise her role as Nora and Saul's mother.

Kitty and Robert are not a happily married couple. But don't tell that to voters in California!

It's still unclear whether or not Claire will test the lesbian waters this season on Heroes.

But we can now confirm that she'll be clashing with a new schoolmate.

Tessa Thompson, best known as Jackie Cook on the second season of Veronica Mars, will play Claire's new sorority pledge master on Heroes this fall.

As as upperclassman named Becky, look for this character to be hiding a secret of her own. Her and Claire will clash.

It's no longer a secret: Jorja Fox is reprising the role of Sara Sidle on CSI for at least five episodes this season.

In a new interview with TV Guide Magazine, the actress speaks on what brought her back to the show and how Sara's storyline will play out. Here are a couple excerpts:

On what prompted her return: Around March, I felt really rested and was itching to work. When I was in Atlanta [filming a guest shot on Lifetime's Drop Dead Diva], I got the call about CSI.... That was a surprise, so I’m going back to work and it’s with the same people who I’ve worked with for eight years in the past. I was thrilled!

On why Sara is coming back: I think all I can really say is the team has had a rough year - there has been a lot going on - and so Sara comes back mostly just to see if she can help for a while, because she loves those guys and she misses them.

As previously reported, the departure of Lauren Lee Smith as Riley Adams will also help open the door for Sara's addition to the team.

On the new Melrose Place, Lauren Yung is played by Stephanie Jacobsen. She's a medical student at UCLA that has trouble paying her tuition.

As a result - spoiler alert! - Lauren turns to the oldest profession on the planet. Against her better initial judgment, she becomes a high-priced prostitute.

This decision will lead to a worl of trouble for the character, as well as to the appearance of Kelly Carlson in the role of Lauren's madame.

How else is Yung connected to the show and its various characters/events? The video below sheds light on the answer:
