What’s coming up for Bailey on Grey’s Anatomy? Chandra Wilson will be directing again — not so coincidentally, it’s the episode where Bailey’s fling with the new boy-toy anesthesiologist (Eli Stone’s Jason George) heats up. We hear the episode is steamy, with lots of romance and kissing scenes. Anyone else think Mr. George should be ready to do plenty of takes?

Despite the fact that her cutie character April was fired earlier this season, Sarah Drew is back on Grey’s Anatomy for the Feb. 11 episode, “Valentine’s Day Massacre.” You can see her for yourself right here, along with a new pic of Chyler Leigh’s Lexie with a shocking new dye job. So what is April doing back on the show? Well, insiders whisper to us that her appearance is not a flashback, and our crack photo team zoomed in and the label on her white coat definitely reads Seattle Grace Mercy West, so…What’s your best guess?

Following Grey’s Anatomy’s holidaylicious all-inclusive Thanksgiving/Christmas/ New Years episode extravaganza, the ABC drama’s staying in the holiday spirit with its first-ever Valentine’s Day episode, which will find Derek and Owen plotting to take their sweethearts out for a double date. Just one problem. “Meredith is not a Valentine’s Day girl, and neither is Cristina,” reminds show creator Shonda Rhimes, “so the guys will try to force them to enjoy the holiday.”
Singling out Callie and Arizona as the only couple celebrating V-Day in a healthy way, Rhimes says Calzona, “go out on a date and exchange gifts at four o’clock because they know they’ll be in the ER in the evening,” then play cupid for Bailey and a smokin’ anesthesiologist named Ben Warren (Jason George), whom Rhimes says will give Bailey “a little bit of lovin’”.
But despite fans’ pleas, there’s still no lovin’ on the horizon for popular new doc, Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams). “I think he’s adorable, but he’s not ready for that,” says Rhimes. “There’s a lovely sense of the audience not knowing where he’s going to land, and I’d like to keep it that way for awhile.”
As for Izzie-less Alex, Rhimes hints he’ll “find his own way to amuse himself quite adequately on Valentine’s Day.” (And by ‘amuse himself’, you should know that another person will be involved.)
Is it just me, or are we intentionally supposed to be hating on cold-hearted cancer survivor Izzie Stevens this season to lessen the impact of Katherine Heigl’s anticipated departure from the series?
Quick to defend Iz, Rhimes explains, “As writers, we’ve had to be creative with having Katie for such a limited time.” Juggling a packed movie schedule and new motherhood, Katie next visits on Jan. 21, but even Rhimes isn’t sure when (or if) she’ll be back full time. “Maternity leave is maternity leave, and it’s a choice I fully support,” maintains Rhimes. “We’re just working on figuring out what that means.” So are we.

GREY’S ANATOMY – “The Time Warp” – In his new role as Chief, Derek restores the hospital lecture series, and Richard, Bailey and Callie present to the group pivotal surgical cases from their pasts – Bailey reflects on her first days as a shy resident, Callie looks back on a polio case, and Richard recalls a case in which he and Ellis worked on a patient diagnosed with GRID, a virus later called AIDS — on “Grey’s Anatomy,” THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18 (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. (ABC/RON TOM) CHANDRA WILSON, MISSI PYLE
Granted, I’m using the word recast loosely here, but Grey’s Anatomy has tapped Angel’s J. August Richards and Cupid’s Sarah Paulson to play younger, circa ‘82 versions of Richard and Ellis in the Feb. 18 episode.
The flashback-heavy hour, appropriately titled “Time Warp,” will shed light on the beginnings of the affair between the Chief and Mer’s mom.
In separate sequences, we’ll see Bailey in her pre-”Nazi” days, and Callie shortly before she was introduced on the show.
But back to Richards and Paulson, their resemblance to James Pickens Jr. and Kate Burton is pretty uncanny, no? Paulson and Burton, in particular, look like they were cut from the same family tree.

Grey’s Anatomy: Episode 15 of Grey’s Anatomy this season features a flashback to the romance between Chief Webber and Meredith’s late mother Ellis Grey, and the series is now casting for younger versions of James Pickens Jr. and Kate Burton.
Hmmm…although the story for this episode is most likely about the roots of Chief’s alcoholism, this casting development doesn’t do much to debunk rumors that the Hotness Monster is Ellis and Richard’s secret love child. (Who is the Hotness Monster? That’s Jesse Williams, who plays Mercy Wester Dr. Jackson Avery on Grey’s Anatomy but got his fan nickname—say it like Loch Ness Monster—during a stint on ABC Family’s Greek.)
Fans have long wondered if Meredith’s (Ellen Pompeo) daddy issues with Chief were strictly psychological or if there was a genetic component to the relationship, but attention on the long-lost baby front has now shifted to young Dr. Avery. What’s your take on this tantalizing fan speculation?Source : Watch with Kristin

An upcoming episode of Grey’s Anatomy will introduce Jackson’s ailing grandpa, Harper Avery, played by Chelcie Ross—the guy who taunted Mad Men’s Don Draper as Connie Hilton. Turns out he’s the namesake of the Avery Award bestowed on Meredith’s mom, Ellis. This will help form a bond between Jackson and Mer. Will the show grant fans’ wish to have Jackson reveal he’s the secret love child of Ellis and the Chief? “It’s not relevant,” says exec producer Betsy Beers, and “not on anyone’s brain.”

“Yes, yes and yes!”
This is how Kim Raver answered a certain burning question regarding her romantic status on Grey’s Anatomy, but then promptly cut herself off.
“Wait, hold on! Was I supposed to say that? Let me check my notes!” she said with a laugh. (You gotta love the candor.)
I just got off the phone with the always charming Kim—who was just upped to series regular status, hurrah!—and she dished on what’s next for Teddy and even answered your fan questions directly.
So what was she (possibly) not supposed to say?

Kinky ABC has OK’d a kind of “wife swap,” lending out Desperate Housewives‘ Dana Delany to Castle for two episodes, sources confirm to me exclusively.
But Delany won’t be playing Katherine Mayfair, she’ll be playing Federal Agent Jordan Shaw.
Why this almost unprecedented move? Try ulterior motives. The network likely is hoping that Delany’s presence will draw more eyeballs to Castle, particularly since her first episode will air on Sunday, March 21 at 10 pm/ET following — duh — Housewives. (Brothers & Sisters has the week off.) The Emmy winner’s second Castle, which reunites her with her Desperate ex, Nathan Fillion, will air in the series’ regular Monday-at-10 timeslot on March 22.

Desperate Housewives‘ Dana Delany will have some backup when she crosses over to Castle later this season.
Ex-Heroes star Leonard Roberts has been cast as the partner of Delany’s kick-ass federal agent character, sources confirm to me exclusively.
In the two-part episode, the first of which is conveniently scheduled to air after immediately following Housewives on March 21, the feds (a.k.a. Delany and Roberts) are brought in to assist Castle and Beckett on a serial killer case. The conclusion airs the following night in Castle’s regular Monday-at-10 timeslot.
In related news, ABC — no doubt encouraged by Castle’s season-high ratings on Monday — just increased the show’s episode order from 22 to 24.

It’s not a Gilmore Girls movie but it’s pretty much the next best thing: The CW has picked up an hour-long drama pilot from Gilmore creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and exec producer Dan Palladino. Dubbed the Untitled Wyoming Project, the potential fall ‘10 series is described as a family soap set on a horse farm in a small town in Midwest or Rockies.

By now, you’ve read the sad news that Ugly Betty’s current season will be its last. If you want to debate whether ABC should have pulled the plug on the four-year-old show, Michael Ausiello is hosting that debate. Here on PopWatch, we’re accepting the cancellation and moving forward. Exec producer Silvio Horta and ABC president Steve McPherson have confirmed that Betty’s writers will have time to pen a “satisfying conclusion” and “proper farewell.” So, knowing that they now have less than 10 episodes left, it’s time to seriously ponder that question we’ve all been asking since we first found out that Betty and Daniel coupled up in the original Colombian series:
By Edward Wyatt, NYT, 1-27-10
“Ugly Betty,” the ABC series that won a Golden Globe award for best comedy series in its first season on the air in 2006-2007 but whose audience has fallen by half over its four seasons, will end its primetime run this spring, the network and the show’s producers announced Wednesday.
ABC and the program’s producers, who include the actress Salma Hayek and Ben Silverman, the former NBC programming chief, said: “We’ve mutually come to the difficult decision to make this Ugly Betty’s final season, and are announcing now as we want to allow the show ample time to write a satisfying conclusion. We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series, and felt it was important to give the fans a proper farewell.”
The program, which was developed for American television by Silvio Horta, is an adaptation of a popular Spanish-language television show, “Betty La Fea,” about an unattractive but cheerful secretary at a fashion magazine. It was imported to the United States by Mr. Silverman’s Reveille production studio and featured America Ferrera as Betty, a role for which she also won a Golden Globe and an Emmy for acting in her first season.
The buzz around the show was strong even before the series had its premiere, leading ABC to move the show from its initially planning time period of 8 p.m. Friday to 8 p.m. Thursday, where it served as a lead-in to the network’s enormously popular series, “Grey’s Anatomy.”
But after drawing more than 11 million viewers in its first season, viewership steadily declined, to 8 million in the third season. After the network moved the series to 9 p.m. Fridays beginning in the fall of 2009, viewership fell further. The series was moved to 10 p.m. Wednesdays after the cancellation of “Eastwick,” but has drawn only about 5 million viewers per week this season.

MORE SECRETS OF THE SALVATORE FAMILY HISTORY ARE REVEALED / KELLY HU AND JAMES REMAR GUEST STAR — In flashbacks, Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) recall the long-ago actions taken by townspeople including their father, Guiseppe Salvatore (guest star James Remar, “Dexter”), and Pearl (guest star Kelly Hu, “Army Wives”), leading to the devastating events that caused the rift in their relationship. In the present, Bonnie’s (Katerina Graham) date with Ben (guest star Sean Faris) takes a frightening turn. Elena (Nina Dobrev) helps Stefan as he and Damon race to find the missing journal that belonged to Elena’s ancestor.

Melinda Clarke’s upcoming Vampire Diaries arc just got a whole lot juicier. Executive producer Kevin Williamson tells me that Matt’s trashtastic mother, Kelly, will blow into Mystic Falls and waste no time digging her cougar claws into Ian Somerhalder’s Damon. “If I didn’t have Kelly and Damon hook up there would be no God,” declares Williamson with a laugh. “What’s the point of doing TV if you’re not going to put those two characters together? That’s going to be a fun relationship to explore.” Of course, Williamson points out that Kelly Donovan has more to offer than a reputation as a bad mom and a healthy appetite for vampire sex. Clarke’s character also shares a rich history with the town’s adult population. “We’ll reveal that she was friends with Sheriff [Elizabeth] and Elena’s mother,” he says. “The three of them were really tight friends back in the day. Sheriff and Kelly, in particular, have ongoing issues to deal with.” DVR alert: Clarke’s Vampire Diaries debut is slated for March 25. (Michael Ausiello)
Elena’s conversion, says executive producer Julie Plec, “is a fundamental part of the books — it’s, in fact, most of the books. So it’s not something we are going to ignore. But right now it’s a little too Twilight similar for us to feel comfortable dabbling in it.” Beyond concerns about Elena being written off as a small-screen Bella, “the best thing about her is, she’s a non-genre, non-supernatural, true-blue ingénue,” says Plec, “and we don’t really want to mess with that. She’s the relatable character. To pervert that too soon would be a mistake.” (Michael Ausiello)
“This show is cemented in a love triangle over the whole run of the series,” notes exec producer Julie Plec, “and right now we’re very much embedded in the pure love [of] Stefan and Elena.” So not even a kiss? Yes, Plec teases, but “probably beyond season 1.” Adds boss man Kevin Williamson: “This show is always going to be about Stefan and Elena. It has to be. They’re soul mates.” (Michael Ausiello)
According to showrunner Kevin Williamson, Brandon Quinn is playing “a vengeful guy with a score to settle with Damon.” He appears in the January 21st episode. (Michael Ausiello)
The writers actually aren’t going to wait until the end of the season to open the tomb with all the vampires and Katherine in it. (Watch With Kristin)
We’ll be meeting Bonnie’s cousin Lucy when Vampire Diaries returns in a few weeks. Lucy is a beautiful flirt who’s also smarter than your average college coed and isn’t afraid to show it. Expect lots of in-your-face brazenness from this one, which is sure to catch the attention of certain local vampires. (Watch With Kristin)
Elena and Damon are going on a road trip pretty soon. (Watch With Kristin)
Brace yourselves for another flashback, because in episode 12, we’re going to meet Damon and Stefan’s father, Giuseppe! He is described as a handsome, no-nonsense businessman of Italian heritage who in his mid-40s, “with a stern demeanor that hides a fierce devotion to his family and growing fears for their future.” (Watch With Kristin)
Kevin Williamson says that the new history teacher, Matt Davis, is in town because he has “a bit of a secret agenda.” (Watch With Kristin)
Matt and Caroline’s relationship continues to grow. (Watch With Kristin)
“We’ll also get to learn more about the town. We will stay focused on our leads and our central epic love story,” says Williamson. “But the show does expand.” (Watch With Kristin)
Ouch, killing Elena’s brother would be rather harsh – though not unheard of for this moody little series. For the time being, an insider tells me, “Jeremy is safer than most, but not danger-free.” (Michael Ausiello)
Mia Kirshner has joined the cast in a recurring role. She will play Isobel, the sweet-yet-dangerous wife of Matt Davis’ history teacher, Alaric. Kirshner will debut in January 21 episode, the first one back after the break.
“We have another flashback episode scheduled,” says executive producer Kevin Williamson. “We’re going to learn more about the night [Stefan and Damon] died.” This flashback will give us more information about Katherine, which will eventually lead to a surprising reveal about the Elena doppelgänger.

SUSAN INTRODUCES ROBIN (JULIE BENZ) TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD,
ON ABC’S “DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES”
Julie Benz (“Dexter”) Guest Stars
“Lovely” – Susan causes quite a stir when she invites a former stripper into her home on ABC’s “Desperate Housewives,” SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21 (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET). Former exotic dancer Robin will have a profound effect on Susan’s friends — with three teenage boys at home, Lynette will keep a watchful eye; Bree picks up a few tricks to engage Orson; Gaby looks for help with troublesome niece Ana; and Katherine will find a friendly companion.
“Desperate Housewives” stars Teri Hatcher as Susan Mayer, Felicity Huffman as Lynette Scavo, Marcia Cross as Bree Hodge, Eva Longoria Parker as Gabrielle Solis, Ricardo Antonio Chavira as Carlos Solis, Doug Savant as Tom Scavo, Kyle MacLachlan as Orson Hodge, Dana Delany as Katherine Mayfair, Drea de Matteo as Angie Bolen, Maiara Walsh as Ana Solis, Brenda Strong as Mary Alice Young, James Denton as Mike Delfino, Andrea Bowen as Julie Mayer, Kathryn Joosten as Mrs. McCluskey, Jeffrey Nordling as Nick Bolen, Beau Mirchoff as Danny Bolen, Charlie Carver as Porter Scavo, Joshua Logan Moore as Parker Scavo, Kendall Applegate as Penny Scavo, Madison de la Garza as Juanita and Mason Vale Cotton as MJ Delfino.
Jule Benz guest stars as Robin. Other guest cast TBD.
“Lovely” was directed by David Warren and written by David Schladweiler.

6-15 “Lovely” February 21 Sweeps!
Written by David Schladweiler; directed by David Warren
The focus of the episode is on ex-stripper Robin (Julie Benz), as she moves into Susan’s home and draws the attention of everyone on Wisteria Lane.
Robin and Katherine go on a double date with two men, both of whom are interested in Robin as a former stripper. Robin and Katherine kiss, and Katherine enjoys the experience!
Also, Parker and his friends use binoculars to spy on Robin as she showers at Susan’s. Lynette has to keep a watchful eye on her kids.
Robin shares some tricks with Bree to help her engage Orson.
Robin offers Gabrielle some help with Ana, as Ana continues to cause trouble.
Orson Bean guest stars again as Mrs. McCluskey’s boyfriend Roy.
Desperate Housewives offers a girl-girl liplock in March between cuckoo Katherine (Dana Delany) and Susan’s stripper friend, Robin, played by Dexter’s Julie Benz. “Everyone assumed I was going to come in and break up someone’s marriage, but there’s a whole different twist,” says Julie, who appreciates Dana smelling “very pretty” and not having facial hair like her last on-screen lover, Michael C. Hall.
“This kiss comes out of a funny moment where we’re trying to ditch some guys,” says Julie. But something very real develops, which is exciting for Dana. “I guessed it,” she says. “I asked, ‘Am I becoming a man?’ And [creator] Marc Cherry said, ‘Close.’” Dana compares Katherine’s realization to recently un-closeted actress Meredith Baxter. “For a woman in her fifties to make this announcement to her community is huge,” says Dana. “I hope it sticks.”
Julie and Dana became friends years ago when they costarred in a failed “Scarface”-type TV pilot. So how long will these naughty girls play house? “I’m now up to four episodes, but they have an option for more,” says Julie. “I’m bribing the writers with cupcakes.”

6-16 “The Chase” February 28 Sweeps!
Lynette and Tom have a college professor and his wife over to dinner. It turns out that when she was in college, Lynette slept with the professor, which complicates the dinner.
A dumb yet handsome gay guy gets fired from his job working for Bree; he may have been sleeping with Andrew. We then meet Jeremy (Sam Page), a well-trained cook who idolizes Bree and her old-fashioned values. Look for him to stick around for 4-5 episodes. Katherine may be interested in starting up her own catering business.
Penny has run away from home and checked into a hotel using her parents’ credit card.
March 21 We’re not sure if episode 17 or 18 airs on this date, but we are assured of a new DH episode, as an episode of Castle guest-starring Dana Delany airs immediately afterwards.
6-17
Preston’s engaged to a hot Russian gold digger, who will be around for more than one episode. Lynette buys a cheap ring so that Preston won’t give his fiancee a family heirloom ring.
Bree learns Jeremy lives in a trailer park.
Gabrielle’s sent Ana to live and work in New York as a model, in hopes of keeping her away from Danny. Gaby and the Bolens end up in New York. A secret is revealed about Danny’s paternity: his father is actually Patrick Logan, the man Angie once worked for but is now on the run from. Speaking of Patrick, he learns about Angie’s whereabouts.
6-18
Angie’s mother appears again.
As Desperate Housewives prepares to wrap up the Angie Bolen murder mystery, and most likely
send Drea de Mateo packing after failing to click in the neighborhood, the ABC show is looking to cast Angie’s mother, described as a tough lady in her 50’s – 60’s who fights to protect her family.
Interestingly, the character’s name (for now) is Patty, which also happens to be the name of the actress the show had first hoped to cast for this role. Any idea whom I’m talking about?
Additionally, the show is searching for a hot little Russian number to play the role of Irena, a 25-year-old gold-digger who set her sights on one of the neighborhood boys. A Scavo twin perhaps? Or maybe the much sought-after Danny Bolen?
Not sure Patty would let Irena anywhere near her grandson.
Source: TV Guide Magazine
Lynette doesn’t want Preston to give an heirloom ring to his fiancee, so she gets a much cheaper lookalike.
Gaby gets Ana a modeling job and apartment in NY to keep her away from Danny. Danny tracks Ana down. Gaby/Angie track Ana/Danny down. Gaby/Ana tell Angie’s mother’s neighbor where Angie lives. Angie’s mother’s neighbor calls Patrick and tells him where Angie lives.
Bree learns that someone, probably Jeremy, lives in a trailer park.
Source : TWoP
Ana/Danny/Angie/Gaby somehow end up in NYC at Angie’s mother’s place. Angie reveals who Danny’s bio dad is, probably Patrick Logan.
Someone’s son is engaged. I can’t tell who yet, but it’s probably a Scavo twin because the only other option is Andrew, who wouldn’t marry a woman.

John Barrowman appears as Patrick Logan, the man Angie’s been on the run from for the past many years. He’ll stick around for the rest of the season.
John Barrowman is heading to Hollywood to play the ‘bad guy’ on TV hit Desperate Housewives.
The Torchwood and Dr Who star will guest star in several episodes on the long-running show about the goings on in fictional Wisteria Lane.
Barrowman, 42, will fly to Los Angeles early March to film with Desperate Housewives leading ladies Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria Parker.
Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry is keeping the plotlines involving Barrowman secret.
However, The Daily Mail can reveal that he will be the show’s main villain in the last section of the current season, series six.
The show returned to British TV this week but has been running in the U.S. for months.
Episodes featuring Barrowman will be broadcast in the America later in the Spring and around May/ June in the UK.
Executive producer Cherry met with Barrowman last week after watching him in episodes of Torchwood.
He was very taken by Barrowman’s Captain Jack Harkness character.
While he’s in LA Barrowman will meet up with old friend Russell T .Davies.
Dr Who and Torchwood Writer Davies has been working in LA writing a Torchwood series for America’s Fox TV. It will be a co-production between Fox and BBC TV.
Casting is way off. Barrowman will just being saying ‘Hi’ to Davies, not asking to be cast in the U.S. Torchwood.

“How About a Friendly Shrink?” – Lynette balks at the idea of seeing a couples’ therapist, on ABC’s “Desperate Housewives,” SUNDAY, JANUARY 17 (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET). Meanwhile, Katherine is seeing her own psychiatrist, Gaby and Susan are determined to find out which of if their kids are in the smartest group at school, and Angie disapproves of Danny’s new girlfriend.
“Desperate Housewives” stars Teri Hatcher as Susan Mayer, Felicity Huffman as Lynette Scavo, Marcia Cross as Bree Hodge, Eva Longoria Parker as Gabrielle Solis, Ricardo Antonio Chavira as Carlos Solis, Doug Savant as Tom Scavo, Kyle MacLachlan as Orson Hodge, Dana Delany as Katherine Mayfair, Drea de Matteo as Angie Bolen, Maiara Walsh as Ana Solis, Brenda Strong as Mary Alice Young, James Denton as Mike Delfino, Andrea Bowen as Julie Mayer, Kathryn Joosten as Mrs. McCluskey, Jeffrey Nordling as Nick Bolen, Beau Mirchoff as Danny Bolen, Charlie Carver as Porter Scavo, Joshua Logan Moore as Parker Scavo, Kendall Applegate as Penny Scavo, Madison de la Garza as Juanita and Mason Vale Cotton as MJ Delfino.

As is often the case with ‘Desperate Housewives‘ and the introduction of a new family, my patience is being tried by the Bolens’ “big secret.” When will we find out what they are running from? Yeah, Papa Nick’s cryptic, could-be-interpreted-two-ways phone call to “Agent Padilla” – followed soon after by the waitress’ murder – jerked our chain a bit much. I asked Beau Mirchoff (aka Danny Bolen) when we can expect solid intel on the mystery clan. He said, “In the next few episodes, it will become more clear” why they are hiding out on Wisteria Lane – and it’s not necessarily for nefarious reasons. Before that reveal happens, Angie will attempt to relocate her brood, “but an event happens that puts our family in an awkward position,” says Mirchoff. Source: Fancast
Julie Benz is moving to Wisteria Lane in a recurring role. She will play Debbie, a stripper with a heart of gold and a Masters degree in education. When Susan offers her the chance to transition into a more legitimate career, she jumps at it. Benz is signed on for at least three episodes, the first of which is scheduled to air in February.
Is Dave Williams Returning to Wisteria Lane?: That Nicollette Sheridan may have departed Wisteria Lane, but her psycho hubby, Dave Williams – aka Hyannis homey Neal McDonough – may return to “Desperate Housewives.” McDonough, in town over the weekend for the NHL Legends Classic, was mum on the matter when we queried him at Fenway Park [map]. “I can’t say,” Neal said, those twinkling blue eyes telling a different story. Dave, as all “DH” fans recall, was dispatched to the booby hatch after he tried to kill Susan, aka Teri Hatcher, and her son M.J.Source : Boston Herald

KATE’S ON THE RUN, ON ABC’S “LOST”
“What Kate Does” – Kate finds herself on the run, while Jack is tasked with something that could endanger a friend’s life, on “Lost,” TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
“Lost” stars Naveen Andrews as Sayid, Nestor Carbonell as Richard Alpert, Emilie de Ravin as Claire, Michael Emerson as Ben, Jeff Fahey as Frank Lapidus, Matthew Fox as Jack, Jorge Garcia as Hurley, Josh Holloway as Sawyer, Daniel Dae Kim as Jin, Yunjin Kim as Sun, Ken Leung as Miles, Evangeline Lilly as Kate, Terry O’Quinn as Locke and Zuleikha Robinson as Ilana.
“What Kate Does” was written by Edward Kitsis & Adam Horowitz and directed by Paul Edwards.

Hurley speaks to someone very close to Richard’s past and conveys this person’s message to Richard. Definite tearjerker on par with when we first meet Bernand and he finds out Rose is okay in season 2.
- Man in Black has a true nemesis – and it’s not Jacob.
-”Happily Ever After” marks Desmond’s full return – his centric episode as well. His “flash-sideways” feature Charlie, Daniel, Penny, Mommy, Jack, Widmore, and Claire. Widmore and Desmond share some of that famous scotch. Des has to make a very, very big sacrifice.
- “Everybody Loves Hugo” marks the return of Libby and Michael. Michael is a ghost on island and Libby and Hurley date in his “flash-sideways.” Locke gets run over. Man can’t catch a break, can he?
Source: DarkUFO
Widmore, Ben, Locke, Jacob, Man in Black… will we ever find out who the good guys really are on Lost?
MICKEY: We asked Josh Holloway, who portrays Sawyer, one ethically complicated dude, what he thinks. “I think the whole beauty of this show and the intrigue has been the constant question of what is good and what is bad and what is right or wrong,” he says. “That is the entire crux of the show, so no, you’re never going to get a clear picture. You’re going to be left with that question to answer for yourself.” Next you’ll be telling me the numbers are just… numbers!
Source: TV Guide
EW: The whole idea of flash-sideways and the plan to use season 6 to show us a world where Oceanic 815 never crashed — how long has that been in the works? Why did you want to do it?
DAMON LINDELOF: It’s been in play for at least a couple of years. We knew that the ending of the time travel season was going to be an attempt to reboot. And as a result, we [knew] the audience was going to come out of the “do-over moment” thinking we were either going start over or just say it didn’t work and continue on. [We thought] wouldn’t it be great if we did both? That was the origin of the story.
CARLTON CUSE: We thought just doing one [of those options] would inherently not be satisfying. Since the very beginning of the show, characters started crossing through each other’s stories. Part of our desire [in season 6] is to show that there’s still this kind of weave, that these characters still would have impacted each other’s lives even without the event of crashing on the Island. Obviously, the big question of the season is going to be: How do these [two timelines] reconcile? However, for the fans who have not watched the show closely, that’s an intact narrative. You can just watch the flash sideways — they stand alone all by themselves. For the fans who are more deeply embedded in the show, you can watch those flash sideways, compare them to what transpired in the flashbacks and go, “Oh, that’s an interesting difference.”
LINDELOF: Right out of the gate, in the first five minutes of the premiere, you get hit over the head with two things that you’re not expecting. The first is that Desmond is on the plane. The second thing that we do is we drop out of the plane and we go below the water and we see that the Island is submerged. What we’re trying to do there is basically say to you, “God bless the survivors of Oceanic 815, because they’re so self-centered, they thought the only effect [of detonating the bomb] was going to be that their plane never crashes.” But they don’t stop to think, “If we do this in 1977, what else is going to affected by this?” So that their entire lives can be changed radically. In fact, it would appear that they’ve sunken the Island. That’s our way of saying, “Keep your eyes peeled for the differences that you’re not expecting.” Some of these characters were still in Australia, but some weren’t. Shannon’s not there. Boone actually says that he tried to get her back. There are all sorts of other people that we don’t see. Where’s Libby? Where’s Ana Lucia? Where’s Eko? These are all the things that you’re supposed to be thinking about. When our characters posited the “What if?” scenario, they neglected to think about what the other effects of potentially changing time might be and we’re embracing those things.
That said, are you saying definitively that detonating Jughead was the event that created this new timeline? Or is that a mystery which the season 6 story will reveal?
LINDELOF: It’s a mystery. A big one.
CUSE: We did have some concern that it might be confusing kind of going into the season. To clear that up a little bit: The archetypes of the characters are the same and that’s the most significant thing. Kate is still a fugitive. If you were to look at the Comic-Con video, for instance, that now comes into play. There was a different scenario in that story. She basically blew up an apprentice plumber as opposed to killing her biological father/stepfather. Those kind of differences exist, but who the characters fundamentally are is the same. If it becomes too confusing for you, you can just follow the flash sideways for what they are. It’s not as though there’s narrative that hangs on the fact that you need to know that this event was different in that world, in the flashback world versus the sideways world. That’s not critical for being able to process the narrative this season.
Is there a relationship between Island reality and sideways reality? Will they run parallel for the remainder of the season? Will they fuse together? Might one fade away?
LINDELOF: For us, the big risk that we’re taking in the final season of the show is basically this very question. [Lindelof then explains the show has replaced the trademark “whoosh!” sound effect marking the segue between Island present story and flashbacks or flash-forwards, thus calling conspicuous attention to the relationship between the Island world and the Sideways world.] This is the critical mystery of the season, which is, “What is the relationship between these two shows?” And we don’t use the phrase “alternate reality,” because to call one of them an “alternate reality” is to infer that one of them isn’t real, or one of them is real and the other is the alternate to being real.
CUSE: But the questions you’re asking are exactly the right questions. What are we to make of the fact that they’re showing us two different timelines? Are they going to resolve? Are they going to connect? Are they going to co-exist in parallel fashion? Are they going to cross? Do they intersect? Does one prove to be viable and the other one not? I think those are all the kind of speculations that are the right speculations to be having at this point in the season.
LINDELOF: But it is going to require patience. We’ve taught the audience how to be patient thus far, so while they’re getting a lot of mythological answers on the island early in the season, this idea of what is the relationship between the two [worlds] is a little bit more of a slow burn.
Did Jughead really sink the Island? And is it possible that the Sideways characters are now caught in a time loop in which they might have to go back in time and fulfill the obligation to continuity by detonating the bomb?
LINDELOF: These questions will be dealt with on the show. Should you infer that the detonation of Jughead is what sunk the island? Who knows? But there’s the Foot. What do you get when you see that shot? It looks like New Otherton got built. These little clues [might help you] extrapolate when the Island may have sunk. Start to think about it. A couple of episodes down the road, some of the characters might even discuss it. We will say this: season 6 is not about time travel. It’s about the implications, the aftermath, and the causality of trying to change the past. But the idea of continuing to do paradoxical storytelling is not what we’re interested in this year.

Next Week Will Blow You Away: After you see the final 10 minutes of next week’s episode, it will become increasingly clear what the entire final season of Lost is leading up to. (I smell a war coming on!)
Get Ready for Two Surprising Reappearances: (1) A certain someone you thought was dead will be back, and how he or she returns, and what it means for the future of the other Losties on the island, will have your brain spinning. (2) Someone else appears in Los Angeles next week that I did not know was returning at all, and it’s awesome.
There Will Be Some Shipper Moments Next Week: Kate will have a tender moment with Jack, and she’ll also have a revealing moment with Sawyer, and there will definitely be some clear indication as to where the romantic storylines (or lack thereof) will be heading this season.
Richard Alpert Was a Slave?! The SMIB mentioned that Richard was in chains. There has long been talk that crew of the Black Rock (allegedly a mining vessel) were slaves, and when we’ve visited the ship in the past, skeletons were found shackled together. So was Alpert on the Black Rock? The good news is we will find out. Nestor Carbonell tells me: “You’re going to get all your answers: Why doesn’t he age? Where’s he from? What his powers might be? Who he is? And there is one specific episode that deals with all of that. I was blown away by what they wrote.” Can. Not. Wait.
Claire and Sayid Will Have Something in Common. Something big.

Kristin’s Red Carpet Interviews from the Premiere Party.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VotWEhZvEFs
television at its very best. It is, as they say, a There is at least one moment that will make you shriek out loud in tonight’s two-hour Lost premiere, which is “game-changer.”
So what else is in store for this groundbreaking series’ final season? What about Walt? The Smoke Monster? Claire’s relation to Jack? I just chatted up the entire cast and show masterminds Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, and without giving away anything too spoilery (what’s the fun in that?), here’s what you absolutely need to know…
Will We See the Man in Black Again? Smokey? Jacob? Find out in the video above in the fun little game of “False, True or Hell No, I Won’t Tell You” that I played with some of the cast and producers. (I got much more scoop from them but it needs to hold til after the premiere so stand by for that.)
The Premiere Rocks. I’ll say it again: Tonight’s two-hour premiere is my favorite episode since Lost’s groundbreaking pilot five years ago. The show is instantly broader and more meaningful than it was before. It’s as if the fate of the whole world now depends on what is happening on this island…
There Will Be Answers. “Exactly 73 questions will be answered in the final season,” boss Carlton Cuse tells me, and naturally, he’s joking. “We’re going to answer the questions that matter to our characters,” Damon says in all seriousness. “If they care about it, then we’re going to answer it. If it affects their lives, than we’re going to deal with it.”
There Will Be Family Matters. Urkel is guest starring! I keed. When asked if Claire (Emilie de Ravin) will find out Jack is her brother, Matthew Fox tells me, “Yes, I think you’ll get an opportunity to see that.” And here’s my favorite tease from Michael Emerson (Ben) about the final season: “In the 13 episodes [we've shot so far], huge chucks of the puzzle have fallen into place. Some quite shocking, and some really satisfying. Some of those puzzle pieces answer whole families of questions. So the audience can have hope for resolution and satisfaction.” When asked if he specifically chose the word “families” for a particular reason, Emerson says knowingly: “You know that nothing is accidental with Lost.” Chills, meet spine.
What About Walt? Though Damon and Carlton say there are no current plans to bring Malcom David Kelley (Walt) back, his onscreen father is hopeful. “I’m hoping he’s the next leader of the island,” Harold Perrineau (Michael) tells me. “He starts it all over again. In 2012, Lost is back with Malcolm. He’s 20 feet tall now and can kick my ass.”
Sayid Might Be OK. His character was shot in the stomach when we last saw him, but as Naveen Andrews says in the clip above, “Lots of people have been in dire situations, right? And somehow, some way they pull through.”
The Very End Will Satisfy Some of You. “The ending we promise you will be very emotional,” Carlton explains. “That’s what we think matters, what happens to the characters.
The Premiere Was Leaked. In case you didn’t hear, the premiere episode was leaked on YouTube via fan videos taken at Sunday’s Hawaii beach event, but here’s the truly incredible thing: Very few of you have actually clicked to watch it (many vidoes received only a few hundred hits), recognizing that you didn’t wait all this time to watch some lame shaky FlipCam version of this visually inspiring series. And that is why I heart you.
Just Wait Till You See Next Week’s Episode. More on that in tonight’s first Lost Redux (should be posted about 10 pm ET/7 pm PT), but I now know what’s in store for next week and in all seriousness could not sleep last night thinking about all the ramifications of it. It will be an entirely different series with an entirely different framework after the end of next Tuesday’s episode.
Why I’m Not Saying More Till You See It: As Daniel Dae Kim puts it, “Because people have waited so long for answers, and because they’re coming out, it’s probably best to be a little more tight-lipped than usual.” Wise words from a guy I adore, so I’m heeding ‘em.
That said, I would absolutely love to meet any of you who are interested in “watching” the premiere with me in the comments section below tonight from 8 to 10 pm ET (sorry, West Coasters, but you can read the exchange afterward?). Join me if you’d like, and I’ll answer the questions I can?If you promise to hold me tight when Terry O’Quinn’s big moment is revealed.
Enjoy.

TVGuide.com: Is the reset going to be a theme of this season or are you playing with the audience?
Cuse: I think it wouldn’t be Lost if we weren’t playing with the audience a little bit, but by the end of the premiere, you’ll have a sense of what we’re doing. We’re still doing the same thing we’ve always done on the show, which is island storytelling and off-island storytelling. It just now starts to take on a different form in the final season. Like every season, each season is a distinct entity, so by the end of the premiere, you should have a sense of what Season 6 is shaping up to be like.
TVGuide.com: Michael Emerson said instead of storylines coming together, the threads keep spreading out. Do you feel like everything will come together at the end or will it keep spreading?
Cuse: I’m not sure I agree with Michael. He might have been toying with you, because we do feel like there’s a certain circularity to the show. In the same way that the show started, we’re going to come back around to some of the main characters from the first season of the show. To us, the most important thing is, what are these character’s destinies? What are their fates? What’s going to happen to them? Those are the questions we’re really interested in answering. Along the way, we’re going to tackle some of the mythological biggies, like what’s the smoke monster? You’ll learn more about the nature of the island. You’ll learn more about Jacob and the Man in Black. Those are the things we feel are important as opposed to what kind of research was the Dharma Initiative doing on polar bears.
TVGuide.com: Will there be more on the numbers or will that never really be answered?
Cuse: There is definitely more about the numbers in Season 6. I think it will be an individual decision as to whether you’ll walk away satisfied by the answer because there’s a fundamental conundrum where any question begets another question. It’s the Big Bang conundrum. The universe started with the Big Bang, but once you accept that you ask what came before the Big Bang. So at a certain point you can’t definitively answer a question in a way that doesn’t lead to other questions. Everyone is going to have to find their comfort level with the show.
TVGuide.com: Will the final season be no holds barred? Can anyone die?
Cuse: The mantra of the final season in a certain way is, “Anything can happen, be prepared.” We are nearing the end, so if there are any constraints that govern a series, they really go away in the final season. We always felt like Lost was at its best when it was really surprising. We did things that were unexpected. We do have a few surprises up our sleeves for this season, which we think are really exciting.
TVGuide.com: You already know who is going to die in the end?
Cuse: Yes, we have our game plan for how the season will end. Significant discisions like that have definitely been resolved by now. We’re still writing the scripts, but we, ourselves, know the fates of the characters.
TVGuide.com: What can you say of the Man in Black?
Cuse: People who are curious about the Man in Black will get more answers this season for sure. We recognize that that character is mysterious and cryptic and we promise that we will give you more details about who he is.
TVGuide.com: Is Jacob really dead?
Cuse: Is Jacob really dead? Yeah, I mean we’ve always said that when characters die on Lost they die. He was stabbed, he was dead. Of course, dead characters show up in other incarnations. We have a narrative structure of our show which allows us to have our cake and eat it too. Just because you’re dead doesn’t mean we don’t see you on the show, but was Jacob killed by Ben? The answer is yes.
TVGuide.com: Yes, and Harold Perrineau is among those who’s back despite being dead.
Cuse: Yeah, and he’s back on the show this year, so you’ll see Harold on the show and that’s really exciting for us, but he did die on the freighter.
TVGuide.com: Is Kate going to end up with Jack or Sawyer or end up alone?
Cuse: Well, we know what’s going to happen to her, but we’re not going to tip what’s happening to her. But we definitely know what the resolutions of the characters are and we know that people care a lot about the Kate, Jack, Sawyer, Juliet quadrangle and that will be something that you’ll definitely get some resolution on this season.
Lindelof: And I think it’s great that you actually present that Kate might end up alone as an option, because a lot of people say, “Is it going to be Jack or is it going to be Sawyer?” But that presupposes way too many things that they’re not fully aware of in the final season. So there may be a couple of other options that are in play that people aren’t considering yet.

Episode 6.01: LA X (Season premiere) Airdate: February 2, 2010 at 9 p.m.
The sixth-season premiere will present us with two seemingly incompatible storylines: One in which we find out someone we thought was dead is actually alive (Charlotte) in the same time that we last saw him or her, and the other in which we will see Flight 815 again. And these two storylines will go on for a little while (in different decades) from what I hear. (Watch With Kristin) … Desmond will indeed be part of the Season 6 premiere. Source: Lost Spoilers

Episode 6.03: What Kate Does (Kate-centric) Airdate: February 9, 2010
TVSquad summarized various spoilers from the two sources: The scenes being filmed at what is supposed to be LAX International Arrivals feature Jack in a suit, a very pregnant Claire, Kate and Dr. Arzt, amongst others. In the third episode, titled “What Kate Does,” Kate and Claire share a cab and their destination is the house of the couple who are set to adopt Aaron. When they reach the couple’s door, the woman says she really wanted to adopt, but that her husband … and then says she can’t have the baby right now. Bad timing, as Claire goes into labor at that exact moment! There will be a taxi cab accident in L.A., but it’s unknown yet if it’s the one Kate and Claire are in, as there are set reports where Kate is driving the cab and other reports saying someone else is.

Jacob is dead and his ashes are collected by someone whose name has 5 letters. Someone tries to persuade Sun to visit the temple claiming that Jin is there. Frank want to try and see if his plane on the other island will still work Sun insists they bury someone properly. Frank makes a comment about the “weirdest funeral ever.” Ben makes a touching speech. Sawyer is drunk when he reunites with a familar face.

Episode 6.09: Ab Aeterno (Richard-centric) Airdate: March 23, 2010
Some more filming details: episode nine is definitely Alpert-centric, and the Black Rock is definitely a prison ship. Also, we see an Ilana scene taking place at an old hospital in Russia, suggesting that Ilana is tied in with Alpert’s backstory somehow. Separately, there’s a scene with Jin working in a hotel, and Sun was there too. Also filming in the same location was a Keamy/Omar scene, and Mikhail was there and spoke Korean. There was also a Jin scene involving the same community college where Hurley’s asylum was filmed. And a scene at a nice house with Hurley and Alpert. (SpoilersLost)

Kathleen (Josie Bissett) and her boyfriend Jeff (Reid Scott) are discovered in bed by his mother, who’s not at all embarrassed by this, as she’s a liberal Democrat. On the other hand, Kathleen is embarrassed.
Ben hides his Italian gal pal Maria (Jordan Monaghan) in his bedroom closet, and when Leo leaves the room, she comes out so they can make out. But Leo discovers the tryst. Maria wants Ben, even though she knows about Amy– and she calls her rich father to get his help. Ben struggles with his feelings for Maria.
While visiting Mimsy’s town, Amy flirts with a boy named Jimmy (Shane William Zwiner) in the grocery store. Jimmy gives Amy the nickname “Pimento.” He’s the son of Anne’s high school boyfriend, Josh (Mitch Rouse), who wants Anne to kiss him.
Ricky informs Amy he’s going to seek legal visitation rights to John. Adrian’s dad Reuben will help Ricky. Ricky kisses Zoe (7th Heaven’s Mackenzie Rosman).
Jack thinks Grace is cheating on him by masturbating. She doesn’t care what he thinks, because she’s in a great mood. Grace spices up her first time with herself by spreading her bed with flower petals.
January 18, 2010: 2.15 “Loved and Lost”
Upon discovering that Ricky cheated on her, Adrian takes out her anger on the butcher shop window. Ricky and Adrian fight about money. Ricky apologizes to Adrian for cheating on her, and they kiss.
Grace learns from Jack that he’s dating Madison.
Tammy’s parents come to Kathleen, as Tom (Luke Zimmerman) and Tammy have broken up. We learn Tom wanted sex from Tammy, and wasn’t simply happy with having phone sex. Tom announces to Tammy’s parents and his family that he’s going to marry Adrian because they love each other; Tom’s come to this conclusion because Adrian came to him for money and he gave it to her.
Amy and Ben attempt to fix their relationship.
January 25, 2010: 2.16 “Just Say Me”
Madison (Renee Olstead) has written a novella that draws on her experiences; we suspect it’s about her sex life. Jesse (Austin Stowell) asks Lauren (Camille Winbush) out on a date.
Grace has come up with a new sexual movement called Just Say Me, which is all about masturbation. The girls at school love it, while the guys feel threatened. It makes the news.
Ashley tells Griffin she doesn’t want a boyfriend.
Ben and Amy have recently split up. Amy admits to Ben she and Adrian are friends now, and both Adrian and Amy are interested in taking care of themselves and not worrying about others. A girl asks Ben for help with her Italian homework. Amy pointedly tells the girl that Ben’s very good with Italians. Amy runs into Jimmy again, this time at school, as Jimmy’s heard about Grace’s club.
February 1, 2010: 2.17 “The Second Time Around”
Amy kisses Jimmy. When she accidentally leaves her purse behind and Jimmy goes to return it, he discovers she has condoms in her purse.
Griffin (Brando Eaton) sends Ashley a pizza; more specifically, he sends her his cousin, a pizza delivery boy who’s 16, named Grant (Grant Harvey), who falls madly for Ashley at first sight. The two may make out before the night’s over.
Will George and Anne get back together? George heads to Mimsy’s house to see Anne; instead, he finds Anne’s high school sweetheart Josh there. When Anne heads back home to see George, she sees him chatting with a woman.
Moose has impregnated the dog of a neighbor, Micki.
February 8, 2010: 2.18 “Let’s Try That Again”
We’ll meet four key characters’ parents for the first time: Lauren’s mother Deborah; Madison’s father Morgan; Madison’s Asian-American stepmother Elaine; and Jack’s hot mother Gigi.
Jimmy hasn’t called back Amy, and Adrian’s insecure about this because she fears a single Amy will connect with Ricky. The problem may have more to do with the condoms Jimmy found in Amy’s purse.
Madison bonds with her stepmother while talking about Jack. Jack and Madison are a couple, but he’s thinking of reuniting with Grace because he thinks she needs him. Jack’s mom prefers Madison, while Jack’s stepdad Reverend Stone (Tom Virtue) gives his advice.
Kathleen may be engaged or thinking about it by now.
Leo and Betty (Jennifer Coolidge) are planning their upcoming nuptials. Leo (Steve Schirripa) and Ben discuss Ben’s possible interest in Grace.
Amy and Lauren get Dr. Fields (Ernie Hudson) to take George out to dinner as a quasi-therapy session, but things are turned around and Dr. Fields talks to George about how much he dislikes his ex-wife’s husband. Anne thinks both she and George need to go to a therapist because something big has happened to them.
February 15, 2010: 2.19
Amy and Ricky kiss. When Adrian thinks Ricky and Amy had sex, she sleeps with Ben.
Several characters attend a mother/daughter dance at the high school gym.
February 22, 2010: 2.20 “Mistakes Were Made”
Adrian admits to Ricky that she slept with Ben, and she’s surprised when Ricky tells her he only kissed Amy. Ricky’s angry.
At work, several customers note Ben looks depressed.
March 1, 2010: 2.21 “Choices”
Ricky visits a squalid Hollywood hotel in search of his mother. The man at the desk claims not to have seen Ricky’s mother Nora in years, but he’s lying, and calls Nora to inform her what happened. Nora is or was a drug-using hooker. Oh, and Ricky’s car is piled high with his stuff.
March 8, 2010: 2.22
No specific spoilers the show will probably build towards the custody hearing in the next episode.
March 15, 2010: 2.23 “I Got You, Babe”
There’s a custody hearing for John! Ben has nice things to say about both Amy and Ricky as parents.
Adrian doesn’t speak up on Ricky’s behalf because she and Ricky aren’t speaking to each other.
Before the mediator can provide his recommendation, Amy makes a decision.
March 22, 2010: 2.24 “Ben There, Done That” (season finale)
Happy birthday to John!
Mimsy’s back — and she has a new, black husband.
Lauren tells her love interest Jesse that her entire family hates him.
Months ago, Ken Baumann (Ben) said that something big would happen with Ben near the end of the season. Given the title of the episode, we suspect it happens in either this episode or the previous one.
There might be a wedding . . . or two . . . or more? We’re not sure if the show will have any single adults once the season’s over!
The tradition of no one being able to keep a secret continues, as Adrian told Grace something; Grace told Jack; and Jack told Madison. And we can’t be sure, but given Madison’s former history, we suspect Madison told everyone else. Adrian’s secret may or may not be related to the fact that her father thinks she looks ill.
General Spoilers:
There might be another pregnancy.
A major story involving Leo kicks off near the start of the season as Betty makes a major turn.
Grace and Ben either kiss or come close to kissing. We don’t believe anything else actually happens between them,
though, given his makeout session with Maria and his sleeping with Adrian.
Charles Robinson (Mac from Night Court) will appear in a recurring role.
We believe Mayim Bialik appears again as Dr. Wilhelmina Bink again this season after her initial appearance on
January 4, next appearance unknown.
Kristin Bauer, known best these days as Pam on True Blood, will guest star in an upcoming episode. We don’t know yet who she’s playing.
Danny Pintauro, best known as the kid from Who’s The Boss?, will guest star in an upcoming episode.
Shawn Johnson will return to the show in 2010, in scenes with Jack and Grace. Her first appearance was as herself, but this time she’s playing a character. We believe she’ll appear somewhere around the time that Grace organizes Just Say Me.

After saying good-bye to One Tree Hill couple Lucas and Peyton, many of us have wondered how the new season would continue without them (and whether their departure would be explained). Jamie Scott’s seventh birthday served as the introduction to all the new cast members and also gave us the only answer we’d get, for now, about where Lucas, Peyton and little Sawyer have gone. So to all you OTH fans, welcome to Season 7. Now let’s start recapping….read more
