Warning, Days of Our Lives spoilers ahead!

On the November 10 episode of the NBC soap opera, Arianna will come clean Brady: she's an undercover narc agent. Will Brady get pissed? No, he'll get turned on and the pair will hit the sack.

In a recent interview with TV Guide Magazine, portrayers Lindsay Hartley and Eric Martsolf dish on this storyline and their characters roles in it. They both answer the pressing question:

What makes Arianna finally admit her secret to Brady?

Said Martsolf: "Brady had become semi-okay with Ari’s insistence that they keep their relationship a secret but then he presses the issue. He’s tired of the secrecy and the lies and she comes clean. His reaction to the whole thing took me by surprise.

"I thought this was going to be a deal breaker because Brady has his trust issues, but he takes it better than I thought he would. Having been in rehab, he wants to be able to trust people again—and be trusted—and here’s this girl who tells him her ultimate secret and trusts him with it. He can’t help but be appreciative of that."

Said Hartley: "In order to be complete and fully intimate with Brady, Arianna needs to tell him the truth. She’s surprised by his reaction, too. He goes above and beyond. Am I allowed to tell you what happens after that? What he does is very meaningful. Brady starts helping Arianna find the head of the drug cartel so they can end all this and she can be saved.

"He becomes her partner in crime. So not only do they have a love relationship but they’ll be working together, which I dig! That’s another realistic sort of thing you wouldn’t see on Passions. It’s a well-rounded relationship. Brady and Arianna not only get to be lovey-dovey but respect each other work-wise."

A fun and bubbly vampire?!?

While Edward Cullen and the Salvatore siblings may cringe at this concept, Arielle Kebbel is embracing her role as Lexi on The Vampire Diaries.

The actress debuts as Stefan's (very) old friend on tonight's episode of The CW hit and she previewed her character's appearance in an interview with TV Guide. Excerpts are below:

On Lexi: She is about as much fun as anyone who's 300-and-something years old. She's this burst of energy, a complete life force. It's safe to say she's pretty much been everywhere, seen everything, lived every moment and that makes her even stronger, even more confident, even more sarcastic because she has all of this life experience behind her.

On Lexi's relationship with Damon and Stefan: I'm older than both the boys, and although I have unconditional love for Stefan, there's also an unspoken understanding that I'm older, which means I'm more powerful. That comes as a huge threat to Damon, which I love.

On her evil side: Let me tell you something, the hours I spent getting red contacts and getting fangs made were all worth it. I got to do some pretty cool and pretty evil stuff in this episode. It's not every day you get to toss around cops.

There are no current plans for Kebbel to appear again on the show, but she says producers are open to Lexi's return of fans clamor for it.

Following the episode (or right now!), sound off about the character in our Vampire Diaries forum. We'll meet you there!

Here's a different kind of sneak preview than we're used to seeing. The CW and The Plastiscines have released a music video promoting next Monday's episode of Gossip Girl.

The group performs its catchy song "Bitch" (certainly appropriate for the chosen program) with clips of "They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?" mixed with shots of the band.

There's a surprising amount of new footage we haven't seen in the previews (particularly Eric talking about taking Jenny down). Check it the three-minute video below ...

Pretty cool, right? Definitely a unique marketing strategy. It will be interesting to see if Eric and Jenny patch things up by the end or if this unexpected rivalry escalates.

Dallas commercial pilot Jake Pavelka, who failed to capture Jillian Harris’ heart on The Bachelorette, was named the next Bachelor last month, to moderate fan praise.

The long-running reality show now has not just a new star, but a premiere date: Monday, January 4. No word yet on whether its recent two-hour episodes continue.

Oh, and it also has a ridiculously cheesy subtitle this season. Are you ready for it? Better keep the wastebasket handy ... The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love!

Groan.

Suffice it to say, people would have rather seen Reid or Kiptyn as The Bachelor, rather than Jake Pavelka, who finished like seventh on The Bachelorette last season.

Moreover, a lot of fans disliked how Jake returned to rat out Wes Hayden to Jillian, although conversely, some praised the pilot's "heroic" (and clearly staged) act.

Either way, we're sure the new season will be a big success, as it almost always is. They keep making it interesting and unintentionally funny, so hey, we're sold!

It lasted quite a long time for a show with a ridiculously-spelled name, but Numb3rs is nearing cancellation.

CBS has cut the episode order for this drama from 22 to 16 this season, a clear sign it won't be around in the fall of 2010.

That's bad news for fans of the show, but they can take comfort if they watch other hit CBS programs.

The network has increased the episode orders of How I Met Your Mother, NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, CSI: Miami, and Two and a Half Men from 22 to 24; it's also requested an additional episode of the following shows:

• Criminal Minds
• CSI: NY
• The Big Bang Theory
• The Good Wife
• CSI
• The Mentalist

Based on the official preview for Heroes below, viewers can look forward to the following events on Monday's new episode:

• A conversation between Samuel and Claire;
• A confrontation between HRG and Becky;
• A problem for Peter;
• A BIG problem for Parkman.

The impressive cast of Damages season three continues to grow.

Sarah Wynter has signed on to appear on the drama (alongside former 24 co-star Reiko Aylesworth) in the role of a security specialist that helps a assistant district attorney (Martin Short) unravel a financial scam, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Aylesworth will portray the wife of Campbell Scott's character, who plays a role in the scandal.

While few Damages spoilers reveal much about season three storylines, the cast itself has us excited for the January return of this drama.

With many months to go until the third season of True Blood debuts on HBO, numerous spoilers are already circulating around the Internet.

For how long will Bill remain kidnapped? What's the deal with Sam's family? What other creatures can fans expect to meet?

Show writers Raelle Tucker and Alexander Woo sat down with Sci-Fi Wire this week and answered a few pressing questions. Let's take a look at how they've teased upcoming storylines...

The return of Bill: Expect the kidnapping arc to run for approximately the first six episode of season three. We'll see scenes of Bill with his captors during this time.

What's the deal with meeting Sam's family? Says Tucker: "They aren't the brightest people, maybe. At least they appear that way. They're fairly dysfunctional, but like anybody else, they have their good things about them and not-so-good things. They're still getting to know each other. Sam's still getting to know them, and so are we."

On the supernatural world: "The entire world is going to get a lot bigger," Woo says. "Not only the human world, but in Sookie's eyes, she's going to see the whole supernatural world. Luckily, since this show is through Sookie's eyes, as an audience we'll get to see a much larger supernatural world."

Super Sookie: "I think that Sookie is conscious of her abilities more this season than she's been, and she's questioning them more," Tucker says. "We're going to be exploring that more this season."

Less trouble (and clothing) for Jason: "I think Jason's path this season is actually about not getting into trouble," Tucker says. "It's about trying to stay out of trouble. I think it's going well for him."

It may not have been as edge of your seat as it was last week, but Eastwick still has the magical ability to keep us watching and wanting more. These three girls have yet to bore us with any unoriginal plot lines and their tangle web that they weave is just beginning. 

It is a very very sad world that we will have to live in now that the resident hottie - Chad - is dead. Oh vell - things look like they will most definitely be heating up between Roxie and Darryl now that he is gone. This could be a very good thing - who knows? He sure is hot in that creepy - up to no good - kind of way.

Joanna still has the whole "woe is me" bit playing on...maybe a little too long? I guess she did almost die last week. This week brings a very new and fine young man named Max to take her place at the paper. Dayum! Break me off a piece of that...paging...new couple alert! New couple alert! Who needs four eyes Will when you can have some sexual chocolate?

As for Kat, her new power to heal will most def. come in handy as the season progresses. Maybe with Roxie's old vision of her being killed off by her neighbor Jaime? I see a revolt of the old against the new witches occurring - and so far, it looks like Kat has the strongest powers of all.

Overall, this week proves itself that it can come back to life with the new after such an amazing deathly episode. Don't just take our word for it - if you haven't already watched it, watch it. Then read our recap and tell us what you think!

Never forgetting that humor is important in a dramatic comedy, Eastwick serves it up! Here are a few of our personal favorite quotes from last night's episode.

Darryl: Maybe just maybe - that hammer wasn't just a hammer. | permalink

Penny: It's not the spoon that bends - it's only your self. | permalink

Joanna: I have SAP - Super Awesome Powers. | permalink

Max: (speaking to Joanna) Did you flash him your boobs?! | permalink

Might this Sunday be the last we see of Elisabeth Moss on Mad Men?

The thought is almost too sad to ponder, but if her character of Peggy jumps ad agencies, there's a chance she'll no longer be featured on the show.

Heading into this weekend's season three finale, TV Guide Magazine asked Moss if her decision to join up with Duck's company will be addressed. The actress replied:

“It’s definitely a huge thing. It’s not going to be swept under the rug.”

In between showing off her engagement ring, presented by Saturday Night Live star Fred Armisen, Moss explained her character's recent thought process:

“Is [Peggy] supposed to be a mom? Work harder? Work less? Is she supposed to sleep around? One of my favorite lines is when she says to Don, ‘What if this is my time?’”

That was one of our favorite Mad Men quotes of the season, as well. We can't wait for Sunday's episode.
