Question: I’m a longtime reader and lover of your weekly AA column and I couldn’t help but notice there wasn’t one last week. —Kaia

Ausiello: I was kinda hoping that would slip by unnoticed, but apparently

gets by you, Kaia! On very rare occasions, I will take a week off from AA to, you know, transition my award-winning Smurf dioramas from spring/summer to fall/winter.

RELATED Fall TV Spoiler Spectacular: Exclusive Scoop and Photos on 42 of Your Returning Favorites

and how it will shape or affect Season 7 overall? —Rachael

 season opener sets up a very provocative, perplexing puzzle to be solved — and only a random piece or two are nudged into place by the time the hour ends, leaving Beckett decidedly uneasy. Suffice it to say, any obvious theories you’ve seen batted around out there over the summer (very likely) missed the mark. Color us definitely intrigued by the who, why and how of Rick’s vanishing act.

Question: Do we know yet who Sally Pressman is playing on 

 creators were mum on Pressman’s role at the L.A. premiere party, largely because she’s part of “a storyline that has never been introduced,” Eddy Kitsis explained. Added Adam Horowitz: “Out of context, we could tell you her [character’s] name, but it might confuse you. You’d be like, ‘So…?’”

, will Queen Elsa get a chance to bond much with another magical, emotionally closed off, formerly lonely woman who just got her family back (AKA Emma Swan)? —Robert

Ausiello: Elsa will actually play a very important role in Emma’s life, especially with regard to magic. Explains Jennifer Morrison: “Elsa’s definitely helpful in terms of her starting to figure out ways to focus her power, control her power and try to use it as effectively as possible.”

Question: How will Olivia & Co. deal with Harrison’s death on 

Ausiello: The original Gladiator’s untimely demise will have a profound impact on Abby. “It affects her in way I never saw coming,” teases her portrayer, Darby Stanchfield. “It affects her deeply, profoundly. You will see in the very first scene how Abby is different.”

Ausiello: It may be a while before we find out how Huck’s family reunion went; he was last seen ringing the doorbell at his ex’s house, after which she opened the door. Per Guillermo Diaz, “We’re starting to shoot Episode 6 and we haven’t really touched on it that much. But our show is all about flashbacks, so I’m sure at some point Shonda [Rhimes] is going to flash back [to that moment] and we’re going to find out what [happened].”

Question: I’m not going to be able to handle the break after

‘s finale. Give me something to tide me over until next year? –Molly

Ausiello: First, pace yourself. You’ve got one episode to savor before the midseason hiatus. Second, if you haven’t read the books, this next bit is a spoiler. Proceed accordingly. Third, how about a little intel on Season 2? The Starz series is casting Brianna Randall, whom fans of Diana Gabaldon’s novels know is Jamie and Claire’s 20-year-old daughter. Bree – who was raised in Boston and who calls Frank Randall her dad — is smart, strong-minded, practical, funny and stunningly beautiful (like her folks). Start your dream casting in the comments!

 Post Mortem: Sam Heughan Bares All About the Wedding Night

would be greatly appreciated. This is definitely my favorite show of the summer!! —Elizabeth

Ausiello: We checked in with Sam Heughan just as he was wrapping the second half of Season 1. As book readers know [SPOILER ALERT!], Jamie suffers some spirit- and body-crushing injuries toward the end of the novel; as such, Heughan said viewers of the Starz adaptation should brace themselves. “It just gets stronger and stronger in the last few episodes — not just Wentworth Prison, which is very intense and I’m very pleased with how it’s come out. I think it’s going to be some insane viewing.”

Ausiello: Lyndie Greenwood tells TVLine that Jenny won’t be enamored of Sheriff Leena Reyes (played by

‘ Sakina Jaffrey), who debuts next week. A former Sleepy Hollow lawwoman, Reyes was around when Abbie and Jenny’s crazy mom was alive, but “Jenny doesn’t remember her, so when she finds out Reyes was around [before], she feels extremely betrayed,” the actress says. “She gets her guard up pretty quickly. She’s not a fan.” BONUS SCOOP: I hear that when Matt Barr’s Nick Hawley arrives on the scene, he’ll have a past connection to one Mills sister… but be interested in the other.

? I’m super excited about Rhea Perlman as Danny’s mom! —Nath

Ausiello: Then you’ll be super-duper excited about this: Perlman tells TVLine that she’s signed on for at least five episodes, with the possibility of more.

and I’m dying to know what will happen in the new season! —Lauriane

Ausiello: Cat will still be with the NYPD when the show returns at midseason, but Tess will no longer be her partner — at least not as of Episode 5. That’s when the show will introduce Detective Harris, a relatively green cop in his late 20s who is quite chuffed to work alongside the infamous Cat.

Question: Jo and Alex are so happy right now, but that never seems to last long on

Ausiello: As we all surmised, Meredith’s tendency to lean on the last fellow “original,” Alex, in the wake of her “person” Cristina’s exit, will raise Jo’s pretty little eyebrows. As Camilla Luddington explained to Matt Mitovich, “Jo’s never actually witnessed the depth of that relationship before, how with that gang there really were no boundaries, so she sees that and is taken aback. She’s jealous and she doesn’t know what to do.” In fact as the season unfolds, on a scale of 1 to 10, Luddington puts the state of the JoLex union at — eep! — just “a 5 or a 6.”

Question: Will Meredith know Maggie is her sister by the end of the

Ausiello: Sounds like the answer to that is nope. “The revelation of who Maggie is to Meredith won’t happen until she feels comfortable in the hospital,” reveals Kelly McCreary (AKA Maggie). “She came for the job. The family thing is sort of a side bar. She’s got her work cut out for her at [Grey Sloan]. So it’ll take as long as it takes for her to settle in.”

Ausiello: You know how last season the major-character-body-count was relatively low? That will

Bones scoop can make it all better. Any more deets on the 200th episode (last week’s tease sounded awesome)? —Amelia

Ausiello: Yes! David Boreanaz is confirmed to direct the milestone outing, which is slated to air in early December. Also, Ep 200 will be overflowing with

alums. Pretty much everyone you’d want/expect to be back for the milestone outing will be present and accounted for. Except for Parker; he’ll most likely be MIA.

to return. I am dying for some Halstead/Lindsey spoilers. Anything romantic happening there? —Katrina

Ausiello: As long as Voight is around, probably not. “[He] warned them — Halstead in particular — that he doesn’t like in-house romances,” executive producer Matt Olmstead explains. “Then they saw the real-world ramification of that when Burgess and Atwater were both vying for Intelligence, and he dinged Burgess because he knew that there was that whole thing going on with Ruzek…” In other words, Lindsay and Halstead will have to avoid any hanky panky if  “they want to be in this unit [and] ascend.” Having said that, Olmstead notes that “given the opportunity, I think that they would fall into a relationship fairly quickly.”

spoilers up your sleeve? I think TVLine is great even if you don’t have any spoilers for me. —Donna

great, Donna. Even if you’re always asking for spoilers on dumb shows I don’t give a crap about. Lucky for you, I love

I have scoop about it. Around the midway point of the show’s 10-episode second season, we’ll meet Doris’ (Lauren Weedman) surprisingly conservative and proper Aunt Sarah. (Word is Auntie S shares her niece’s penchant for being slightly scatterbrained).

 Finale Post Mortem: Jonathan Groff Talks the Big Richie-Patrick Cliffhanger 

Ausiello: The long-running CBS procedural is hiring a woman to do a man’s job (i.e. kill lots of innocent people). In this season’s ninth episode, the show will take the unusual step of introducing a female unsub — and she sounds like Patrick Bateman’s twin sister. The character is described as a successful, extremely attractive thirtysomething career woman who is impulsive, emotional and prone to sudden rages. BONUS SCOOP: In the same episode, we will meet Rossi’s second wife in a circa 1994 flashback. Not sure what that’s about.

Ausiello: Don’t look for Nielsen’s “smart, beautiful attorney with far-reaching Cook County connections” — a role first reported by TVLine last month — to be Alicia’s new martini buddy. “We’re actually exploring this line between friend and rival,” says executive producer Robert King. “If it were another circumstance, you might say, ‘This would be my best friend in the world, and I would love talking to her,’ but in fact, because of the situation, you’re finding yourself maybe not hating her, but hating the situation.” Could Nielsen’s character somehow stand in opposition to Alicia’s possible run for State’s Attorney? “We’re leaving it vague,” chimes in fellow EP Michelle King. Sounds like a definite maybe (or maybe not) to us! BONUS SCOOP: Robert King adds that the show’s writing staff has read up on its Illinois election rules — and learned that “Saint Alicia” won’t need to quit Florrick-Agos if/when she throws her hat in the ring for her husband’s old job. In other words, Season 6’s “pivot to politics” doesn’t mean Alicia’s case load will be “left in the rear-view mirror,” he promises.

Question: Will Laurel and Felicity become friends in the new season of

Ausiello: Not only will Felicity and now-in-the-know Laurel be friendly this season, but our favorite geek girl will also get on great with fleeting beau Barry Allen’s No. 1 Central City gal, during the

crossover (in Episodes 8). “[Iris West] does have an opinion on Felicity, and it’s all good. She’s a fan of Felicity,”

’s Candice Patton tells us. “I think viewers will be very excited to see Barry stuck between these two women. It’s so good.”

RE: Walking Dead. Define Major character. Like season one/two characters or people that were added last year?

Hopefully the latter. TWD hasn’t added a compelling new character since Michonne. The originals are the only ones keeping me going!

A character introduced in season 2 will die, as well as one introduced in 4.

Only season 2 characters left alive are Maggie and Beth… I’d hate to lose either of them… not enough good looking females left on this show.

I know Karen Gillan is on Selfie now, but I think she’d make a terrific Bree for Outlander Season 2!

Karen Gillan is who I’ve envisioned as Brianna ever since I saw her in Doctor Who, red-head, tall, gorgeous, decent actress and she can do an American accent. The only thing is, though she is on “Selfie” on ABC, I’m not sure she’d do another TV series if she can land films. She probably could land some sweet gigs now after “Oculus” and “Guardians of the Galaxy”.

Stop messing with me Ausiello! There is only one episode of Outlander left before the midseason hiatus coming up this Saturday…right?? I would love to be wrong.

You are correct. I was wrong. Didn’t mean to mess with you! –MA

Sorry, Michael, but that was the worst “spoiler” ever for “Looking.” That’s the best you’ve got? Nothing on Johnny Groff? Nothing? Come on, give us something on Kevin and Patrick. Please?

I saw what you did there, @allstaircrane. :) No, I meant Patrick and Kevin :)

Does that Bones scoop mean Zack is back?! I cant help but miss the original intern.

I agree and would love to see the Zach storyline wrapped up….just as long as they dont bring Dully back, I’m happy.

Some day all Bones fans will be able to read between the lines about Zack ever coming back. The world’s most asked and answered question LOL

I’m so excited for Felicity and Iris to meet! I love Felicity :)

Does this mean Zach & Nigel will

He’s the only Bones alum that I want back, I was crushed when he died!

So over the Castle scoop. Give us something new.

I LOVE EMMA SWAN!!!! I cannot wait for the Elsa and Emma friendship and parallels with magic, power and love = family and Hook! :)

Not sure if I am prepared for what will happen to Jamie near the end of the series, but I guess we still have some time till then. And now i’m worried about Jo and Alex.

My dream casting for Brianna on Outlander is still Rose Leslie. She really looks like she could be Sam and Caits daughter and i’m sure she could put on an accent. She’s also an actual descendant of the Fraser line, it’s meant to be!

Wouldn’t be shocked Rose Leslie might be a top contender for Brianna.

Brianna won’t have a Scottish accent because she is raised in the ’60s by Claire and Frank!

Her lack of Scottish accent doesn’t have to do with being raised in the 60s. It’s because she’s raised in Boston.

Rose is too slim and short to play Brianna.She’s described as a Braw lassie.

I admit I’m not as focused on physical attributes as I am if the actress can really act. Claire is also really buxom with amber-colored eyes and Jamie has narrow, cat-like eyes in the books, but Caitriona and Sam don’t fit those descriptions. Howver, I wouldn’t imagine anyone else for those parts. Cait IS Claire and Sam IS Jamie to me now. Rose Leslie is a good actress and might bring some Game of Thrones viewers over. I’m more concerned if she can do an American accent? Brianna was raised in Boston, so she wouldn’t sound like a Brit.

Love, love Sam, but there’s no way his fans will want to see what happens to him during last few eps. Already freaking out, my poor Jamie

I don’t want to see Wentworth. Like at all. The whipping was bad enough.

The whole time I was loving the idea of Alicia for State’s Attorney but at the same time bummed about it because she just started her firm and I wanted her to keep building it with Cary. This changes things a lot. Should be a very interesting season of TGW

is the bones spoiler actually from inside scoop or info taken and interpreted from Davids and Emilys latest press interview on Friday?….personally I dont want a whole pile of characters that I barely remember taking up screentime when a milestone 200 ep should be actually focusing on the main core cast…you know the ones actually working day in and day out…

Poor Felicity, having to endure the Laurel as friend

Can’t wait to see the Laurel and Felicity friendship! I love both characters and the show really needs to more of the female relationships. I was so sad when I saw that so many important, character developing scenes were cut from season 2 :(

Not sure what they mean by an “unusual step” of introducing a female unsub on “Criminal Minds”, since there’s been a good number of those over the years…but if this female unsub is the one that might last throughout the season like I’d heard elsewhere a while back,

that would be unusual, given that normally their long-term unsubs have been male. Either way, I’m curious, both for that and to learn a little more about Rossi’s second wife.

And the stuff with Jenny and this new sheriff sounds good-bring on the tension! I can’t wait to see how this sheriff ties into everything with the history of Jenny and Abbie’s mom.

And I too missed this column last week! But that Smurf shrine. Wow. NIce :p.

Does anyone know what happened to the James Roday show for CBS? Did it get axed?

The fact that Alicia can stay with F/A and run as State’s Attorney does not make her the most ideal candidate. Part of her case load is representing criminals. I know Chicago has a rep for being corrupt, but running for top prosecutor while defending the city’s most notorious criminals is a stretch. If she wins, will she prosecute her own clients? Actually, she can’t. F/A could give up all its criminal clients, but she still couldn’t prosecute her former clients. I look forward to seeing how the Kings work this out. They often surprise me.

There are so many dilemmas, ethical issues, and other things to consider. It’s gonna be really interesting to watch. I have a lot of faith in the writers of this show. To still be this good of a show after five seasons still surprises me because TV shows nowadays are rarely great after their first couple of seasons. I can’t wait to see how it plays out.

Quando é a volta de Beauty and the Beast,vai mesmo ser 13 episódios e não vai terá quarta temporada?

Does that mean Zach will be in the 200th episode as well?

Cannot wait until Castle comes back. Next Monday is going to be epic.

Man, I gotta stop reading Outlander spoilers. Clearly, this show is going in direction I don’t expect, and I really don’t want to know.

Please, Bones, DON’T bring Zack back. Most of us are tired of hearing about him. He’s been gone for 7 years, people. Maybe we should move on.

Outlander is sooooo good. I haven’t read the books, so now the spoilers have me curious and excited. Wish there wasn’t such a long break coming up!

Castle: Oh, they aren’t going to solve the disappearance in one ep? That’s good. :) I heard stuff about later eps and thought they would resolve it quickly. Maybe he comes back in ep #3?

Bones: Oh, I hope Zach is back, like everyone else. I haven’t found anyone who didn’t love Zach. I want to hug him, only I’m sure that would weird him out. LOL

Arrow: Yay, no cat fighting! I’m on board for no fighting amongst the ladies. Diggle being upset with Oliver is more than enough, though I heard that Roy might have a beef with Oliver soon enough. I’m sure Oliver won’t mind no cat fighting, though Barry might find the new friendship awkward (of course, Barry is always awkward unless he’s working…).

I don’t want cat fighting in the Arrow lair either but I hope that everyone just doesn’t welcome Laurel with open arms. It would make a better story if Diggle especially was cautious about her since he’s been suspicious of including her before, or maybe Roy, can have some conflict that Laurel has to deal with. Otherwise it’s just going to be like the producers plopped her in there because Everybody Loves Laurel.

Felicity knows that Iris is who Barry loves so there should be no conflict there.

It’s been several months. Exactly how much conflict do you think there should be?

I’m so excited to see Emma and Elsa interacting. I never would have figured they would parallel each other that obviously in regards to their magic, that Emma would actually lose control of it…

I’m so happy S4 will focus more heavily on Emma – she’s the protagonist after all. I’m also very curious what part Killian will play in all this since he’s been Emma’s greatest supporter in embracing her magic and helping her come to terms with who she really is and find home. Can’t wait for Sunday :)

Thanks for answering my question Michael! Love TVLine! Very much looking forward to Flarrow all Arrow/Flash crossover episodes. Iris seems fun from all the clips I have seen.

My top two choices for Brianna have always been Karen Gillan and Deborah Ann Woll, but I think both are unavailable. Deborah is a lead in that Netflix “Daredevil” series and Karen might be more focused on films if/when “Selfie” is cancelled. Danielle Panabaker wouldn’t have been a bad choice, but she’s a regular on “The Flash”.

Someone else mentioned Rose Leslie above, I could see her in the part. Possibly Holliday Grainger, Lyndsy Fonseca, Rachel Hurd Wood or Jane Levy could make a decent Brianna.

Someone confirm there’s no typo in here: “Brianna Randall, whom fans of Diana Gabaldon’s novels know is Jamie and Claire’s 20-year-old daughter”

I know it’s a time travel show and all, but I am the most confused.

It’s not a typo but I won’t spoil it for you. I (admittedly a little cruelly, lol) want non-book readers to freak out like the book readers did when we first got our hands on Dragonfly in Amber (the 2nd book in the series).

So are you saying for Bones’ 200th ep we may see Zack, the original and irreplaceable intern?

I don’t really care if Jay and Erin get together on PD, I think the best couple on the show is Kim and Adam hands down!

I wanted to be surprised about Outlander but I couldn’t resist but peak at the spoilers. It is my favourite show on TV now, it just surpassed Orphan Black for me which was my former favourite.

I don’t know what to think about this Grey’s spoiler, but Shonda better not mess up with Jolex, they are the best thing about the show since season 9.
