THE VAMPIRE DIARIES Michael Trevino Dishes on Tyler’s Big Dilemma

By Leave a Comment

In a world where vampires and werewolves are natural enemies, Michael Trevino’s character Tyler Lockwood is an anomaly.  Having been transformed from mere werewolf to hybrid werewolf/vampire after ingesting Klaus and Elena’s blood, Tyler was ecstatic to find himself living empowered with the senses, speed, superior abilities of both supernatural species.  But as he should have surely known, there was a downside to becoming a hybrid – it enslaved Tyler to Klaus through a sire-bond that cannot be broken.

Found! We Preview Syfy’s LOST GIRL with Stars Anna Silk, Kris Holden-Ried, and Zoie Palmer

By Leave a Comment

Making its U.S. debut on Monday, January 16th, the Canadian-produced fantasy series LOST GIRL is set to lure audiences into the supernatural world of the Fae, beings that look human but which possess unique abilities that make them decidedly non-human. Some prey on humans, some which seek to protect humans, and some that do not even want to associate with humans. LOST GIRL focuses on a girl Bo, portrayed by Anna Silk, who knows she is not exactly normal, but is not certain what she is or where she fits in.  Tripping across an old feud between the Light Fae and the Dark Fae, Bo’s fate hangs in the balance in the premiere episode as she is asked to fight to the death for the privilege of choosing which clan she will join.  In a recent conference call with press, stars Anna Silk, Kris Holden and Zoie Palmer shared what LOST GIRL is really about and how their characters fit into this new supernatural world.

Ask the Addict: Spoilers for BONES, SHAMELESS, HART OF DIXIE, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER & More!

By Leave a Comment

After reading your fantastic live blog from yesterday’s “Bad-Ass Boys of the CW” TCA panel I have to ask, how exactly does one get your job? — Rachel
The TV Addict: Simple. Step #1: Build a time machine. Step #2: Program said aforementioned time machine so that you may devote your formative years transfixed by the original BEVERLY HILLS 90210. Step #3: Spend what some might characterize as an “unhealthy” amount of time watching television. Got that? And since you brought up what was hands down the highlight of our week spent at the Television Critics Association Press Tour in Pasadena California, we thought we’d expand upon one of the most heartwarming moments from yesterday’s panel. Cue SUPERNATURAL star Jared Padalecki’s thoughts on impending fatherhood, “I’m very excited. I hope it doesn’t bleed over into my work because I have a boyish excitement about it. I’m almost worried about how excited I am. I feel like I should be nervous because I’m bringing a life that I’m going to be half responsible for sometime in March. But I’m just so kind of chomping at the bits to get my hands in there and raise a child that I ?? right now I’m just like an excited little boy.”

BONES scoop please. — Felicia
The TV Addict: Cutting to the chase (Trust me, that will be hilarious in a moment), the ninth episode of the season entitled “The Don’t in the Do” will revolve around a gruesome death in a hair salon.

This RAISING HOPE fan would like to know if you have any scoop on when Jimmy and Sabrina might… well, you know? — Brenda
The TV Addict: According to creator/executive producer Greg Garcia Jimmy and Sabrina shippers should stay tuned. “We’re going to go at that a little head on in the upcoming months and we’ll see what happens out of that,” teased Garcia. “There will be some movement I can promise you that.” Sticking with RAISING HOPE for a moment, Garcia also promised the season finale, while not exactly game-changing in nature, will send shockwaves throughout the Chance household. “There’s going to be some revelations about Hope’s serial killer mom that is going to have ramifications for everyone.” [Read more…]

Winter TCA Press Tour 2012: “The Bad-Ass Boys of The CW” Live Blog

By 7 Comments

3:02PM: This afternoon’s panel highlighting the “Bad-Ass Boys of the CW” includes NIKITA’s Shane West, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES’ Joseph Morgan, GOSSIP GIRL’s Ed Westwick, SUPERNATURAL’s Jared Padalecki, HART OF DIXIE’s Wilson Bethel and RINGER’s Kristoffer Polaha.

3:05PM: “For the moment he has tunnel vision and a one track mind to get his girl Blair Waldorf,” says Ed Westwick when asked if he misses playing up Chuck’s devious side. “So hopefully we do see his devious side, the devil within.” Interjects RINGER star Kristoffer Polaha, “Wait a second, you’re British?”

3:09PM: Rather than answer a question about what’s in store for Sam in the second half of SUPERNATURAL’s seventh season, Padalecki jokes that he’s distracted by the enormous photo of a shirtless HART OF DIXIE star Wilson Bethel that is currently being projected on the screens within the hotel ballroom.

3:11PM: “I was shocked,” says Kristoffer Polaha, referencing not so much the shocking turn of events during RINGER’s midseason finale, but rather his inclusion on this “Bad-Ass” panel.

3:12PM: Does THE VAMPIRE DIARIES’ Joseph Morgan ever worry that his character of Klaus might become too soft to remain on the show? “Yes, I do worry about the writer’s making him softer or too good,” admits Morgan. “But I think they can make him more human and relatable without taking away any of his bad-assness. I think it’s possible to be somewhat of a relatable anti-hero while still tearing out hearts and breaking necks.”

3:14PM: “I’m faking it,” says a half-joking Shane West when asked about the bad-ass fighting skills he brings to NIKITA.” Maggie [Q] is kind of a phenom, it’s just embarrassing how good she is at what she does so you kind of have to live up to those expectations. I spend a lot of time in the gym and at the gun range.”

3:15PM: “I’m pretty confident that it will be a bad sign for my career when they tell me to stop taking off my shirt,” says HART OF DIXIE star Wilson Bethel when asked if he expects to take off his shirt each and every episode. “I’ll take it that my time on the CW is short-lived. Thankfully, they told me to take the cowboy hat off which I don’t think was my look.” [Read more…]

Witches and Warlocks and Wizards Oh My! We Preview MERLIN’s Magical Fourth Season Return

By Leave a Comment


 
Fans of the fantasy series MERLIN have had a long wait since the dramatic finale of the 3rd season last year.  But the long hiatus is finally over and it was worth the wait.  Returning with its 4th season, things start off with a bang – or rather a nasty tear between our world and the netherworld and creepy crawlies soon swarm over Camelot.  One icy touch and a person is not simply frozen in fear – they are literally frozen to death.  Unleashed by Morgana and her evil sister Morgause, the Derocha are not simply ghosts in the night. They are supernatural creatures that will steal your soul, the very breath from your body, and worse yet – Merlin’s magic is impotent against them.
 
It is the moment that every wizard fears, when you look into the face of your enemy completely helpless to defend yourself against them.  Until this point, Merlin has been able to stand steadfast in the knowledge that he can always use his magic to protect himself and everyone he cares about.  But once that is stripped away, all you have is a man forced to use his wits to defeat a seemingly invincible enemy. 
 
You can just hear the laughter as Morgana and Morgause watch with unbridled glee.   The Derocha are doing all their dirty work for them and Camelot will swiftly fall if they are not defeated.  In a desperate, last minute attempt to save the kingdom and all of them from a chilling death, Arthur, Merlin and the Knights of Camelot journey to repair the torn veil between the worlds before it is too late.
