Scandal Round Table: Season Finale Edition
22 May 2012 7:49 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
What a Scandal Season 1 finale, right? Poor Gideon, poor Olivia, poor Fitz - and hello, Mellie, First Lady of evil!
Below, our panel of Round Table experts - Jim Garner, Leigh Raines, Miranda Wicker and Carla Day - attempt to answer some of the burning questions from an episode that has us hanging on until September...
-------------------------------------------
Who Is Quinn Perkins? Speculate on her secret.
Jim: I can tell you who she's not - a doctor - or she would have known pulling the scissors out was a bad idea. I'm guessing she is in the witness protection program or maybe she is royalty; queen of the "deer in the headlights" people.
Leigh: Someone in witness protection is a good guess, but I'm feeling more like she's got a criminal background. I truly cannot wait to find out in Season 2! Great setup by Shonda (a woman who ripped my heart »

New TV Season Breakdown: The CW
18 May 2012 4:52 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the fifth and final one announced. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on The CW.
With "Hart of Dixie" last season's sole surviving new show and "Gossip Girl" finishing up with a short final season this coming Fall, The CW is pushing hard on original content this season with five new shows ordered as opposed to the regular two or three. There's also a bunch of timeslot changes with "The Vampire Diaries" the sole show to have not changed its place on the network's schedule.
The additions have allowed the sub-35 skewering network to essentially have theme nights - prime-time soaps on Mondays, quirky medical dramas on Tuesdays, male-dominated genre action shows on Wednesdays, and female-oriented supernatural romancers on Thursdays.

Scoop On The 'Scandal' Finale Cliffhanger From Kerry Washington
18 May 2012 2:50 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"Scandal" ... what a season finale, right? I caught up with star Kerry Washington, who teased big things for the finale, but that was just beyond "juicy" and "shocking."
Spoiler alert: Do not read any further if you haven't yet watched "Scandal" Season 1, Episode 7, titled "Grant: For the People."
We saw the bloody aftermath of Gideon's (Brendan Hines) scissor stabbing by the VP's chief of staff Billy Chambers (Matt Letscher), and the reveal of who actually hired Huck's old hitman pal-turned-torture-victim to kill Amanda Tanner. There was a shift in Olivia Pope's (Kerry Washington) relationship with the president (Tony Goldwyn), his right-hand man Cyrus (Jeff Perry) and the first lady (Bellamy Young), but we also saw how Olivia's associates could rally for one of their own -- even if it meant destroying key evidence.
But the biggest question of the season remains: Who is Quinn Perkins (Katie Lowes)? Any why does »

'Scandal' Case Study: Shonda Rhimes on the Intense Finale, What's Next in Season 2
17 May 2012 8:00 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
[Warning: This story contains spoilers from the season finale of Scandal.] Quinn isn't only a member of Pope & Associates, she's also a client. During Thursday's season finale of Scandal, the ABC political fixer drama wrapped its freshman run with an intense hour that saw Olivia (Kerry Washington) take Quinn (Katie Lowes) on as a client, Gideon's (Brendan Hines) fate revealed, Billy (Matt Letscher) make a startling accusation against Fitz, Mellie (Bellamy Young) step up to save her husband's butt and Cyrus (Jeff Perry) perhaps make the biggest reveal of the series.

Scandal Star Kerry Washington Talks Twists, Teases Season Finale
17 May 2012 10:50 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Who sent the tape? Is the First Lady behind everything? What's the story behind Olivia's team? Will Gideon survive?
It seems we've all been blown away by some of the revelations on Scandal's inaugural season. Even the stars of the show.
Leading lady Kerry Washington took some time out to chat with me about the season and Thursday's finale. If we think we've been shocked so far, Washington cautions us to hold on to our hats!
"In this week’s season finale, both Matt Letscher who plays Billy Chambers, and Bellamy Young, the First Lady, will astound you. For sure," she told me.
Read on to find out what she had to say about being Olivia, her favorite twist and season two...
One of the thing that drew Washington to the character of Olivia Pope is the latter's many layers. When asked if she sees herself in Olivia, Washington replied "I'm an authentic person. »

Kerry Washington Teases 'Shocking' & 'Juicy' 'Scandal' Season Finale
16 May 2012 6:46 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
In just six episodes, "Scandal" has become a must-see, nail-biter of a drama from Shonda Rhimes. But the most insane, edge-of-your-seat episode is this week's Season 1 finale, titled "Grant: For the People" (Thurs., May 17, 10 p.m. Et on ABC).
It's the culmination of all of the Olivia-Fitz sexual tension (seriously, how great have Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn been together?), the group dynamic shift and that big cliffhanger ending between reporter Gideon (Brendan Hines) and the vice president's chief of staff, Billy Chambers (Matt Letscher), from last week's episode.
I caught up with "Scandal" star Kerry Washington, who promises that the finale will answer at least one big question, but says there'll still be an "exciting, juicy question mark" left in the end to keep fans wanting more.
Keep reading to find out the future of Olivia and the president, which two players are really bringing it "in a huge way" in the finale, »

The CW Picks Up Carrie Diaries, Arrow, Cult, First Cut and Beauty and the Beast
The CW has picked up five new series for the 2012-2013 season, marking a more-than-normal order size for the smaller network. The Sex and the City prequel The Carrie Diaries will join superhero drama Arrow, thriller Cult, medical drama First Cut and the updated Beauty and the Beast.
These five new shows join veteran series Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries and 90210 on the schedule for next season. America's Next Top Model was also given a renewal for the fall. Gossip Girl is generally considered a safe bet for a shorter season next year, but the fate of freshman series The Secret Circle, Hart of Dixie and Ringer are currently unknown.
Updated: Nikita was just renewed for season 3.
Here's what we know about the new shows:

[Warning: This story contains spoilers from Thursday's Scandal.] Fitz and Olivia's steamy backstory was finally revealed on Scandal, when the Shonda Rhimes D.C.-set political fixer drama flashed back to the origins of the duo's first meeting on the campaign trail. While the flashback provided key insight into why Olivia (Kerry Washington) was broad aboard -- to fix Fitz's (Tony Goldwyn) fumbling presidential campaign and spice up his marriage for voters -- it also provided insight to what Billy (Matt Letscher) and Mellie (Bellamy Young) would do for their respective candidates. Beyond that, Gideon (Brendan Hines) inched too close to

'Sex And The City' Star: I'd Join 'The Carrie Diaries'
4 April 2012 2:07 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Willie Garson, who played Carrie Bradshaw's loveable friend Stanford Blatch on "Sex and the City," is probably a little sick of being asked about the new prequel extension of the "Satc" franchise, "The Carrie Diaries." After all, he's not in it.
The CW's new pilot is set to tell the story of a young Carrie Bradshaw as she finishes high school and though it would be oddly anachronistic to have Garson on that show, he says he wouldn’t turn it down.
“If they called I would do it,” he said on the red carpet for the Madison Square Garden debut of Cirque du Soleil's "Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour."
Though fans can catch Garson on USA's “White Collar” these days, Garson says that he is still Stanford and probably always will be.
“I'm still him if they decide to make another movie,” he said. “Every time I think it is over, »

Maureen Ryan: 'Bent': A Star Is Born In NBC's Charmingly Scruffy Comedy
21 March 2012 8:11 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
This is the time of year when networks begin clearing out old inventory in preparation for the new round of delicious treats they will bring us in the fall. Not that I'm against networks debuting shows all year long -- anything to avoid the September train wreck -- but sometimes, you look at a mid-season show and instantly know why it wasn't on the fall schedule (I'm looking at you, "Work It"). By spring, parts of the broadcast-tv schedule look like the Island of Lost Toys; shows that didn't find strong advocates at the network or favorable slots for their debuts wander onto the schedule almost tentatively, hoping not to get run over by the trucks that are March Madness and various reality franchises.
But sometimes a lack of buzz works in a show's favor; "House," "Parks and Recreation," "Grey's Anatomy" and "Happy Endings" are just a few of the »

Amanda Peet: 'Game Of Thrones' Is Like Coke
21 March 2012 5:43 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Though you wouldn't know it from NBC's odd scheduling of "Bent" (they're burning off airing all six episodes in just three weeks, with back-to-back episodes on Wednesday nights starting Wed., Mar. 21, 9 and 9:30 p.m. Et) and sad lack of promotion (I've seen two billboards in L.A., and both went up this week), the new comedy offering is one of their strongest.
"Bent" stars Amanda Peetas Alex, the good girl and a busy working single mom, and David Walton as Pete, the bad boy with charm who becomes her contractor. They're practically living under the same roof -- along with Alex's daughter Charlie (Joey King), sister Screwsie (Margo Harshman), Pete's dad Walt (Jeffrey Tambor) and his ragtag crew (including Jb Smoove and Jesse Plemons) -- and there's instant chemistry.
"I'm so glad!," Peet said when I told her I love the show, before launching into her own reasons for returning to TV, »
