It looks like life is sort of back to normal for Peter Petrelli on season four of Heroes.

During a set visit to the show, we spotted Milo Ventimiglia filming a few scenes... as a paramedic.

Is Peter trying to fit in as a non-hero again? How do you think that will work out?

Meanwhile, at least week's Comic Con festival in San Diego, the actor was asked to describe his character in the new season. He replied:

“He’s seen it all. He’s got a lot more humor about it. Nothing’s new to him. If someone comes to him swinging, he’s going to swing back harder.”

No returning show on television has gone through as many casting changes as Desperate Housewives.

The biggest, of course, was the addition of Drea de Matteo to the cast.

But Andrea Bowen and Jesse Metcalfe are also making returns to the series, while Orson Bean has landed a recurring role.

Now, the ABC hit has announced that Shawn Pyfrom won't be returning to the show on a full-time basis.

The actor has played Andrew Van De Kamp, the troubled son of Marcia Cross’s character, for years.

“Shawn’s not returning for a full season next fall,” a source confirmed. “But he’ll come back and make a few guest star appearances... His decision didn’t come easy, but he wants to pursue new television and film opportunities.”

It's been awhile, but loyal Days of Our Lives fans haven't forgotten about Louise Sorel.

Off and on, the actress played the character of Vivian Alamain from 1992-2000.

Now, Soap Opera Digest has confirmed that she'll reprise that role in late September, as Vivian returns to Salem for an unspecified period of time.

Sorel isn't the only star coming back to Days of Our Lives: Crystal Chappell (Carly) will return to the NBC series later this year, as well.

Kevin Williamson had a few important messages for audiences members in attendance at The Vampire Diaries panel discussion last week at Comic-Con.

First, the show's executive producer - likely best known for having created Dawson's Creek - said this new series is right up his writing alley.

"Every single character [in the book] is dealing with death, loss and life - which is perfect for me, because everything I write about is pretty much death and loss and hopelessness," Williamson told the crowd.

Moreover, he revealed a pair of huge spoilers for the first season:

1. "The town of Mystic Falls has a lot of things that go bump in the night," he said, implying that blood suckers aren't the only creatures alive in the woods.
2. Elena will learn Stefan's true identity within the show's first three or four episodes.

Michelle Trachtenberg's return to Gossip Girl will be just a few episodes long, but it won't end without some drama. Come on, we are talking about Georgina Sparks here.

So what goes down during her stint on the Upper East Side?

According to creator Josh Schwartz, "she is going to have both a very unexpected roommate and a very unexpected love interest" when Gossip Girl returns in September.

Who do you think either will be? Share with us below!

The remaking of One Tree Hill leading up to the CW drama's seventh season continues with the addition of newcomer India de Beaufort, according to a report in TV Guide.

Although Peyton Sawyer (Hilarie Burton) and Lucas Scott (Chad Michael Murray) no longer call Tree Hill home, Peyton’s fledgling record label will remain open for business.

Creator Mark Schwahn says that India de Beaufort will join the cast as Miranda Stone, "a smart, successful record executive who has been sent to Tree Hill, N.C., to oversee the day to day operations of boutique label Red Bedroom Records."

The latest pretty face on One Tree Hill belongs to India de Beaufort.

Beaufort is the latest in a long line of new actors including Robert Buckley, Shantel VanSanten and Jana Kramer to round out the revamped Season Seven cast of One Tree Hill.

Are you excited for the show's return or what?

The cast of FlashForward just got a whole lot better looking.

Gabrielle Union has joined the show in a recurring role. She’ll portray a criminal defense attorney that becomes romantically entwined with one the main characters.

Union has starred in Bad Boys II, Cadillac Records and was set to be one of the leads in The Body Politic. However, the latter series was not picked up for the fall season.

Martin Mull - best known for his stint on Roseanne and in numerous commercials for Motel 6 - has landed a recurring role on ABC's Eastwick.

Mull will appear in an early episode of the new series as Milton, a retired reporter that may have major dirt on the devilish Daryl Van Horne.

Eastwick centers around a trio of housewives that have their lives altered forever when a mysterious man grants them special powers. Mull is joining a beautiful cast that's led by Rebecca Romim, Lindsay Price and Jamie Ray Newman.

During last week's Chuck panel at Comic-Con, fans had one question in mind:

Will Chuck and Sarah ever get together?!?

"You know what they say?" said cocreator and executive producer Josh Schwartz. "Two steps forward, three steps back. The dance shall continue."

At least Schwartz shed some light on how that dance might be performed on season three. He told E! News:

"We do have two major new arcs on the show. One is a potential love interest for Chuck, and the other is a potential love interest for Sarah."

Sounds both intriguing and frustrating. Why can't these two just hook up for good? Partly because Sarah isn't happy about certain developments, star Yvonne Strahovski said.

"There are going to be a lot more complications between Chuck and Sarah, now that he's downloaded his new intersect into his brain. I think that Sarah is going to be a little upset."

During the annual festival in San Diego, Schwartz added that Chuck and Sarah will go through "something very emotional and traumatic," but "it's going to be very, very good."

Cocreator Chris Pedak chimed in with: "It'll be cool. It'll be deep, and it'll have a lasting affect on the show."

Okay. Fine. Consider us in for season three.

We hate to break it to readers, and to ourselves, but Dexter is eventually going to die.

"It can't last forever," star Michael C. Hall told Entertainment Weekly. "The show is like a shark. It has to keep moving forward. And if it runs out of things to eat it's going to die."

Fortunately, until then, we can enjoy video interviews such as the one below.

Hall sat down with TV columnist Michael Ausiello last week and chatted about his show's fourth season (which you can preview now!). Follow this article's jump to see what the actor had to say.
