Interview with Tassie Cameron - Creator and Executive Producer of Rookie Blue

22 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »

The summer used to be a void of new TV shows. No more. Now summer has a bunch of series -- many that star women like Rizzoli & Isles and Covert Affairs. Another one of those summer shows is Rookie Blue. Women and Hollywood got the chance to do an email interview with Tassie Cameron, the creator and executive producer of Rookie Blue. This is particularly exciting because we love the show and we don't usually hear from showrunners. Rookie Blue's fourth season begins tomorrow, Thursday, at 10pm on ABC. Women and Hollywood: The cop show is so prevalent on TV yet Rookie Blue seems fresh. How did you give this genre a reboot? Tassie Cameron: So many cop shows are about superheroes; super detectives, super action-guys, super-experienced specialists who've seen it all. I think what's different about our show is that most of our characters are complete and utter newbies. »

21 May 2013 4:32 PM, PDT | Entertainment Tonight | See recent Entertainment Tonight news »

On May 10, I had the unique pleasure of attending Aaron Tveit's first-ever cabaret show at 54 Below in New York City. Tveit, best known for his stage (Next To Normal, Catch Me If You Can) and big screen (Les Miserables) work is set to take over television this summer with Graceland, USA's gritty and gripping new series about federal agents.

It's been a long road to his first lead TV role and that's exactly what Tveit's carefully cultivated cabaret show highlighted as song selection transported audiences back in time; from his first audition to his last, while also highlighting tunes that have altered his personal and professional destiny.

ETonline recently caught up with Tveit to find out how he approached crafting this 54 Below show, why Taylor Swift was a major factor, what excites him about audiences finally moving into Graceland and if he's ready for the fame that comes with being TV's hottest new star.

Question: For the love of a Happy Ending, any word on whether or not USA Network will right a terrible wrong? —Tiera

Ausiello: No news is, in this case, pretty good news. Negotiations continue between Sony and USA, which tells me that the cabler remains seriously interested in giving the show a fourth season. Meanwhile, if the talks collapse — bite your tongue, Ausiello! — it’s an inevitability that Damon Wayans Jr. will find himself back on New Girl next season in some capacity. »

'Suits' Stars Preview Powerful New Season

20 May 2013 12:06 PM, PDT | Entertainment Tonight | See recent Entertainment Tonight news »

With a title like War, you knew the Suits season two finale was going to mean season three would be largely dedicated to picking up the pieces -- and while that is true across the board, according to all of the actors, nowhere is the decimation more evident than in Harvey's relationship with Mike.

"Their loyalty has been completely destroyed," Gabriel Macht told me at USA's Upfront event in NYC. "And in the first episode, Harvey lets Mike go. He's done with him. Yes, Mike asks for forgiveness but Harvey doesn't want any of it. He doesn't want the drama, he doesn't want to trust in him anymore."

Chris Gorham Teases New 'Covert Affairs' Episodes!

17 May 2013 1:20 PM, PDT | Entertainment Tonight | See recent Entertainment Tonight news »

Covert Affairs brought season three to a close with two wonderful cliffhangers: Annie and Auggie finally hooked up, but not before she accepted a secret mission from Henry Wilcox. And when season four premieres on July 16, Annie will still be in the throes of both decisions.

"Annie and Auggie are in a full-fledged relationship when we start the season and it's kind of great," star Christopher Gorham told me at yesterday's USA Upfront event in New York City. "I really love how we're doing it too because I always felt like their relationship played out so realistically over the last three years – they always liked each other but were both in other relationships. Now that they're both single and available and still very attracted to one another, they've come together. The relationship develops in a very natural way out of that."

Covert Affairs Casts Michelle Ryan as Shadow CIA Operative

15 May 2013 6:30 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »

Covert Affairs 16-episode fourth season is shaping up to be a good one based solely on the casting choices made so far. We won’t know until July 16 if all the new characters will mesh with the old, but for now let’s view everything at face value and be glad we’re getting such quality actors, like the recently announced casting of Michelle Ryan. Some of you might not be familiar with Ryan, but that’s only because you haven’t paid much attention to British television, where she does most of her work. Although you might recognize her from the very short lived Bionic Woman.

The British actress joins the cast of Cover Affairs as a new CIA operative. TV Guide reported her to be playing Teresa Hamilton, a recurring character that will first appear in the Season 4 premiere. Not much else is known about the character, which is a bummer. »

In the meantime, there will be references in the script that Katherine and her husband Murphy are off somewhere on a trip.”

Ah, those yellow eyes.

Tonight on Beauty and the Beast (The CW, 9/8c), in the series’ penultimate freshman episode, Gabe shows his true colors to Catherine — and they’re a yellow-green (depending on how the light hits his beastly peepers).
