The journey of Annie Walker (Piper Perabo) has always been a love story. From the very beginning, we knew that Annie was a girl who followed her heart to the ends of the earth and wherever it led, she would follow. It began when Annie joined the CIA, in search of a man she fell in love with on holiday — a man who disappeared so easily that she figured out that he had to be a spy. Yet Annie’s search for the elusive love of her life, Ben Mercer (Eoin Bailey), was just the beginning. Slipping in and out of her life like a ghost, Ben was the man who gave Annie a taste for adventure and opened the door to international espionage; he introduced her to a world that she had always craved and gave her the courage to embrace it.

Photo of the Day: A Conan Development
With television talent both in front and behind the camera making a habit of tweeting photos ranging from spoilerific to hilarious, theTVaddict.com thought it might be fun to introduce a new feature to the site that we’ve not-so-cleverly decided to call “Photo of the Day.” Today’s subject, courtesy of Conan O’Brien (@ConanOBrien) comes a sneak peek at a very interesting and somewhat unexpected career development. Tweeted O’Brien, “Here’s the 1st official photo from the new Arrested Development on @Netflix. Spoiler alert: I’m an amazing actor.”

ONCE UPON A TIME First Look: “Tallahassee”
Good News: In an effort to build upon the momentum generated by last night’s, shall we say, electric episode of ONCE UPON A TIME penned by none other than series co-creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, next Sunday’s instalment promises to be quite Emma-centric. Bad News: Outside of revealing the episode title (“Tallahassee”) and the fact that audiences will be transported back in time to reveal Emma’s not-so-magical pre-Storybrooke backstory, the recently released handful of photos courtesy of ABC Publicity are not-surprisingly short on spoilers. Particularly ones that involve Emma’s journey alongside not-too-trustworthy Captain Hook to climb a treacherous beanstalk in an attempt to steal an item from a not-so-friendly giant (Jorge Garcia). But hey, don’t take our word for it, see for yourself, after the jump. [Read more…]

Sudsy Shocker: GENERAL HOSPITAL Super Spy Returns!
When our pals over at Soaps In Depth tweeted on Friday that they’d spoken to Tristan Rogers, we suspected that there was something good coming down the pike. The only question was whether the daytime superstar would be returning to GENERAL HOSPITAL — where he played bad-guy busting, woman-wooing World Security Bureau agent Robert Xavier Scorpio (think James Bond, but with an Australian accent) — or THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS, where he played grandbaby-napping, secret-keeping Colin Atkinson. The fact that the mag tweeted from their ABC account (@soapsindepthabc) left us hopeful that GH would be the winning soap, and this morning, the publication’s editors confirmed the news: Scorpio is back, baby! Look for Rogers and his alter ego to show up in Port Charles on Thursday, November 15, and for Soaps In Depth to report the details of his return in their cover story that goes on sale Monday, November 12!
