It never fails. A show is humming along perfectly and then… they walk into the room. You know who we mean. That character who just brings the show to a grinding stop. The one who gets under your skin and causes your eyes to roll. As with most things, it’s completely subjective… what causes one viewer’s skin to crawl has another purring like a kitten. But here’s our list of characters we’d love to see take a long walk off a short pier. [Read more…]
This time it really is personal. Or at least that was the distinct impression your very own TV Addict was left with following a one-on-one with PRIVATE PRACTICE star Caterina Scorsone who recently took the time to tease tonight’s very special episode of PRIVATE PRACTICE that has the gang from Oceanside Wellness confronting her character, Amelia Shepherd, about the drug addiction that is destroying her life. But why personal you ask? Well, as it turns out, the Canadian-born actress has a unique connection to the world of drug addiction and mental health thanks to her father who runs an organization (The Good Neighbour’s Club) that serves as a homeless shelter for retirement-aged people suffering from addiction and mental health issues. Add to that what Scorsone herself characterizes as an incredibly misunderstood disease and you have fodder for what will surely go down as one of the most emotionally-charged episodes of the series thus far. See for yourself what Scorsone had to say on the matter after the jump. [Read more…]
Question: What’s the only downside following tonight’s fantastic episode of REVENGE that revealed an entirely different side of Tyler, showed the continued deterioration of the Grayson marriage, and saw Emily’s plan really begin to unravel? Answer: Well, thanks to next Wednesday’s untimely broadcast of the 45th ANNUAL CMA AWARDS, REVENGE Addicts will have to wait TWO WHOLE WEEKS to find out what happens next! So until then, we here at theTVaddict.com thought now might be as good a time as any to share some first look photos of the November 16th episode entitled “Treachery” that will flashback to Emily’s time in juvenile detention, while the Graysons deal with the aftermath of what a very alive and well Lydia may-or-may-not remember. More first look photos of which can be found after the jump. [Read more…]
After spending the better part of four seasons embedded amongst the poisonous backstabbing Upper East Siders that inhabited the not-so-wonderful world of GOSSIP GIRL, actor Connor Paulo knows a thing or two about revenge. Or so he thought. For as it turns out, the scheming likes of Blair Waldorf and Georgina Sparks have got nothing on the rich and powerful denizens of the Hamptons. So just what’s a boy to do? Well, we recently had the opportunity to catch up with affable actor to find out just that. See for yourself what Paulo had to tease about the pain that awaits his character — both of the physical and emotional variety — in ABC’s maddeningly addictive new series REVENGE, after the jump.

Hell Hath No Fury like a Hamptonite Scorn! Or at least that’s what the likes of Madeline Stowe, Henry Czerny and Josh Bowman are about to find out when Emily VanCamp returns to the small screen in ABC’s highly addictive mystery thriller REVENGE. But just how terrified should these actors be of VanCamp’s beautiful and duplicitous Emily Thorne, who returns to the Hamptons to exact — as the title suggests — revenge on the wealthy community that destroyed her family years ago? We caught up with the actors to find out just that. See for yourself after the jump. [Read more…]
• Holy Frak! BATTLESTAR GALACTICA’s Tricia Helfer joins NBC’s adaptation of THE FIRM.
• Pilot Watch: Showtime greenlights a one-hour drama MASTER OF SEX a docu-comedy from Andrew Gurland and a dark family drama called RAY DONOVAN.
• Trailer Park: The CW releases promos for the new seasons of both NIKITA and SUPERNATURAL.
• PRIVATE PRACTICE Drama: Will Charlotte and Cooper’s happily-ever-after hit a speed bump?
• In Case You Missed It: Your first look at THE BIG BANG THEORY Season 5.
Wondering why Cooper looks somewhat less than happy on what should surely be one of the happiest day of his life? Well, if we had to guess, it probably has a little something to do with the fact that both himself and Charlotte find themselves second-guessing their wedding plans as a result of the uncertainty and turmoil surrounding the future of Oceanside Wellness. At least that’s our theory, but hey, why not check out some first look photos of the upcoming May 5 episode of PRIVATE PRACTICE entitled “Something Old, Something New” and see what you can come up with. More of which can be found after the jump. 
Your recent streak of DEGRASSI scoop has been nothing short of astounding. Care to keep the streak alive? — Mandy
The TV Addict: Despite the fact that we would very much prefer you characterize our recent streak of DEGRASSI scoop as “remarkable” rather than “astounding,” we are more than happy to oblige. If only to put to rest one of the big concerns we’ve been hearing from a handful of DEGRASSI fans since we broke the news about cast additions for the upcoming eleventh season. Rest assured, said additions will in no way take away screen time from the current cast you’ve come to know and love. So much so that upcoming eleventh season episodes will have one student of the male persuasion tackle the taboo that is shoplifting, another who is no stranger to trouble finding herself confronted with cocaine, while a third fan favorite is forced to deal with the baggage that comes when two squabbling parents fail to handle their divorce as maturely as one might hope.
Any PRIVATE PRACTICE scoop? — Jennifer
Not-so-fun-fact: Fans have not seen the last of Charlotte’s harrowing rape storyline, which will return to the forefront in the upcoming PRIVATE PRACTICE season finale when Charlotte is forced to re-live her terrifying ordeal in an effort to help treat another survivor.
One of the only few benefits to living north of the 49th parallel (read: Canada) is that every once in a while an opportunity like this comes along. ‘This’ being, the chance to interview some of your favorite DEGRASSI stars from this past summer’s fantastic 10th season.
