PARENTHOOD
Where art thou GILMORE GIRLS fans? Seriously, we know it’s been a while since the show went off the air, but all the same we can’t help but feel slightly disappointed that nobody has bothered to bring up the completely bizarro albeit totally awesome crossover event on this week’s episode of PARENTHOOD. Are we really he only ones who connected the hilarity that was Lorelai’s (Lauren Graham) son Drew (Miles Heizer) putting the moves on Luke’s (Scott Patterson) daughter Holly (Vanessa Marano) For shame!

An In Depth Look At… THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Feudin’ Females!
What’s good news for soap lovers — Maura West (Carly, AS THE WORLD TURNS) is back on daytime! — is a major bummer for THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Phyllis, who is ticked to have Diane (the role West has stepped into) back in Genoa City.
“Jack and Phyllis have been having a lot of fun together, both in bed and out of it,” says Soaps In Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms. “So Diane popping back into the picture is the last thing she needs.” But Diane is back, and she very quickly manages to put herself smack-dab beneath Jack’s nose. “I think you’re going to see a lot of fireworks between those two women in the weeks and months to come. The great thing is that lately, Phyllis has regained her spunk. For far too long, she was sort of a wimp. She spent months letting Nick walk all over her while he waffled between her and Sharon. Now, Nick’s out of the picture and so is whiney Phyllis. The kick-butt gal fans missed is back.”

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Questions with FRINGE Star Lance Reddick
What are your thoughts on FRINGE delving deeper into the mythology this season versus the previous seasons more stand-alone episode approach?
Lance Reddick: When FRINGE started out, the trend in television was to produce standalone episodes because the truth is, that’s what sells better in syndication. And while FRINGE still worked in the beginning because there were so many interesting elements that were so good, what I think “Bad Robot” [The J.J. Abrams powered production company behind the show] does best is mythology. Mythology, for me is the most exciting thing to watch on television, and as viewing habits have changed — where everybody is watching these types of shows on DVR’s and DVD — I think the powers that be realized that if this thing’s going to really be a success, they have to do what they do best.
How challenging has it been keeping track of two different versions of the same character?
The season finale was a little tricky because there were slight differences in the Broyles and because we were shooting two episodes at the same time with two different version of the character it was a lot to keep track of when I was preparing. But now that we’re going back and forth between universes episode-to-episode it’s not so tough.

Exclusive: THE GOOD WIFE/UGLY BETTY Crossover You *Really* Didn’t See Coming!
It was the crossover event that absolutely nobody saw coming… until now! On Tuesday’s episode of THE GOOD WIFE, clearly-up-to-no-good Becca convinced not-quite-smarter-than-a-fifth-grader Zach to create a fake Facebook profile for Glen Childs’ son. Now, where the “crossover” part comes in, is that the photo used for Glenn Childs Jr. was an actual promotional shot of actor Ryan McGinnis from his recent stint as Justin’s boyfriend Austin on UGLY BETTY. Coincidence… or clever use of foreshadowing for an upcoming guest appearance by McGinnis as Glenn Childs Jr? Stay Tuned…
