HBO has released the official key poster art for True Blood‘s sixth season, premiering June 16 at 9 pm, and it’s an ominous sucker.

Bearing the tagline, “No One Lives Forever,” the image features a nondescript male vampire flashing his pearly, pointy whites while striking an unpleasant-looking pose.

Question: There are rumors that True Blood is going to kill off the gorgeous and sexy Eric Northam! Please tell me this isn’t true. 

Ausiello: I can neither confirm or deny the rumors, but I can offer you two pieces of evidence that suggest such a twist is in the realm of possibility. The first one comes care of Joe Manganiello, who tells TVLine, “We’re getting to the point in the season now where people are starting to die. The table reads are starting to get smaller, and I’m sure they will continue to do that.” Exhibit B, meanwhile, arrives in the form of Episode 7′s title — “The Funeral.”

'Nurse Jackie' Episode 507 - 'Teachable Moments' – Sneak Peeks (VIDEOS) Spoilers @SHO_Network #nursejackie

A cop has been shot and Nurse Jackie fears it is Frank:

Adam Ferrara as Frank, Edie Falco as Nurse Jackie and Anna Deavere Smith as Gloria Akalitus in 'Nurse Jackie' Episode 507 - 'Teachable Moments' (Cr: Showtime)

I've remarked upon it earlier in this stellar season 5 of Nurse Jackie but it bears repeating: Edie Falco as Jackie has smiled more, halfway through season 5 than she did during the entirety of seasons 1-4. I don't care if this sounds like fangirl gushing--she is so pretty when her face lights up. Beyond the surface happiness, there is plenty going on in Jackie's life--being in recovery is a key part of her life but so (still) are her kids, her job and the small circle of friends she has (all at work). She's divorced Kevin and she's dating a cop who genuinely likes her--a lot--and who is the reason for all the smiling. Will this match stick? Tune in to find out, Nurse Jackie fans!

Zoey points out Prentiss’s terrible bedside manner, both with patients and other hospital staff. While transcribing dictation, Zoey hears Coop and Carrie having sex, unaware the machine was recording.

I think you are going to have a reaction anywhere from pleasantly surprised to shocked out of the comfort of your chair, at how incredible actors Merrit Wever and Morris Chestnut are in this scene (be sure to tune in Sunday night and watch it in its entirety).

SPOILER I would not have envisioned putting these two together as a couple, would you? But the chemistry between them is palpable. Kudos to the casting people and writers. Morris Chesnut as Dr. Prentiss is filling in a gap I hadn't even realized was there. He brings not only hunky good looks but loads of charisma buried beneath a tough-as-nail-exterior. He and Zoe do in fact 'do it'--with Zoe calling the shots!

'Nurse Jackie' Episode 5.05 – Teases (PHOTOS) (VIDEO) Spoilers @SHO_Network #nursejackie

NURSE JACKIE 505 – “Good Thing” Episode Details

Jackie continues to be pulled in opposite directions of the emotional spectrum. On the one hand, a nice, stable, funny guy is interested in her and they have begun to date. At the same time, Jackie's eldest daughter Grace, is acting out; she's lying and dating an age-inappropriate guy and in general, has a surly attitude. Even little Fiona is misbehaving enough that her school master has a conference with Jackie and Kevin. Then there's the issue of custody with Kevin and most profoundly, Jackie's tenuous sobriety. How much pressure can Jackie handle as she navigates her first year sober--without any kind of outside support? It's a question that will remain open until there's an answer.

'Dexter' Season 8 NEW! - Debra: From Cop To Killer (VIDEO) @SHO_Network #dexter

Is There Any Way Back For Deb From Cop To Killer or Has Dexter Destroyed His Sister?

 

Jennifer Carpenter as Deb and Michael C. Hall as Dexter in 'Dexter' Season 8 (Cr: Showtime)

 

The cast and crew of Dexter discuss Debra's progression from cop to killer.

The first time we met Dexter's Debra Morgan (Jennifer Carpenter) on the job, she was on the street--literally. She was so far down the rung of the cop hierarchy that she worked undercover as a prostitute and knew all the working girls on a first-name basis.

As time moved forward, so did Debra, until the day she achieved her dream of becoming a detective. Deb was very good at what she did and probably would have remained working as a detective for the foreseeable future. But Deb's future became something that never, in her darkest dreams, could she have imagined. Because her boss, the hyper-ambitious, unethical Maria LaGuerta used her as a pawn, Debra was thrust into the role of Lieutenant of Miami Metro, a job she neither desired nor was in any way prepared for. Deb however, was determined to make the best of it and she was managing OK until her world fell apart when she literally walked into a crime scene--that of her beloved brother Dexter (Michael C. Hall), stabbing his latest prey right in the heart.

In shock and disbelief, Deb agreed to allow Dexter to cover up the crime but she insisted he stop killing altogether. Dexter, for his sister's sake, tried to resist his urges, but in the end he went back to killing, which became an insurmountable problem for Debra.

LaGuerta again forced her way into the picture, only this time she was in pursuit of Dexter who she believed was the Bay Harbor Butcher instead of the deceased Sgt. Doakes. Ultimately, in a container in a shipping yard, Debra had to make the choice between sparing Dexter and effectively condemning her brother to death for his crimes or killing Dexter, which she found impossible to do.

As we open up Dexter's final season, six months have passed since the moment that Deb changed from a cop to a killer. As Dexter laments in this Deb-centric video, he has destroyed his sister.

Where can the two possibly go from here? Might Deb embrace a dark side of her own--and what form would that take? Meanwhile, how is Dexter to help Deb when he's still indulging his darkest side and she cannot bear the sight of him? It's gonna be very interesting to see where season 8 takes them--and us!

Nurse Jackie Season 5: Next on Episode 4 (VIDEO) & Good Doc, Bad Doc Cast Interviews!

Edie Falco as Jackie and Adam Ferrara as Frank in Nurse Jackie Episode 5.04 "Lost Girls" (Cr: Showtime)

Looking at the screencaps (above) from the Nurse Jackie promo for episode 5.04 "Lost Girls,' one thing in particular stands out. Other than when she's directly interacting with her girls or with BFF Dr. O'Hara, we never see Jackie look this happy. It's a completely different Nurse Jackie because unlike the forced smiles when she was abusing painkillers, this is a real 'whole face' smile. It's very attractive, don't you think?

However, real life has a way of breaking in and smiles fade soon enough. In this episode, Jackie must deal with both her girls acting out. It may be due to the discord that the separation and custody fight caused or in Grace's case, it may just be the terrible teens. Jackie also must deal with the still obviously smitten, Eddie. They have to work together and Jackie stills cares for him so she comes up with a simple way to make sure they are on the same "page". It's a really nice scene and there's a sense of an end--finally--to the air of hostility between them.

We are still getting to know the seemingly inept, iPhone-addicted Dr. Roman.  She's a master manipulator of men and she is quite successful, especially concerning Coop (shocking, I know).

Akalitus's memory issues make have put a patient with a secret at great risk, not to mention All Saint's, but could it be possible that we've underestimated her? Tune in for all this and much more!

NURSE JACKIE 504 – “Lost Girls”Episode Details

An agitated and heavily medicated Jane Doe is brought into the ER. Jackie and Kevin are called into Fiona’s school because she’s been acting out in class. Jackie catches Grace sneaking around the city to see her much older boyfriend. When Jackie gets back to the hospital, she learns that Akalitus lost Jane Doe just as her concerned husband shows up at the hospital. Akalitus tells Jackie that the “concerned” husband has been drugging Jane Doe and she’s helping her get to a safe house. When Prentiss finds out, the nurses unite to take the blame, but he surprises them all by saying if this happens again they should come to him.

'Dexter' - Season 8 - Dexter is a Rockstar (SPOILER) @SHO_Network #dexter

'A mysterious woman comes to work with Miami Metro, offering first-hand information on Dexter’s past.'

 

Part of the Dexter season 8 cast (Cr: Showtime)

 

We are rapidly approaching the season 8 premiere of Dexter, which will also bring us the series' conclusion. Since this is such a crucial part of the entire series, I'm laying out now how I will share information about Dexter episodes before they air.

In writing about Dexter I've done my best to separate true spoilers from the 'in-case-you-are-behind-on-your-viewing 'spoilers.' Forever A Fangirl's policy is, if the episode has been broadcast or in some way made legally available for the public to view, then anything said about it is not a spoiler.

Put simply, spoilers happen before the episode is broadcast. Just the same, since there's just not enough room to explain the nuances of a sorta-spoiler, a small spoiler and a SPOILER in my blog post titles, I'm using the word 'spoiler' whenever I have intel on an episode or character or story arc that has not aired.

That said, any inside information that I may have picked up prior to a Dexter epsiode being broadcast I will share--up to a point. Otherwise, why bother watching? Perhaps 'tease' is a better word, as if you are determined enough you may glean from the tease enough info to put two and two together. OK? Okay.

Showtime issued a press release today which you can scroll down to read. Though it is cool to know that the story picks up six months after Deb murdered Maria Laguerta, I'm going to hone in on the enticing mention of this character:

First up is Dr. Evelyn Vogel, a formidable and whip smart neuro-psychiatrist in her late 50s who assists the law in profiling criminals.

This is what Showtime said about her today:

'a mysterious woman comes to work with Miami Metro, offering first-hand information on Dexter’s past.'

Previously, Showtime described her thusly: "a neuro-psychiatrist who specializes in working with young psychopaths and profiling criminals in unorthodox ways" (my italics).

British acting veteran Charlotte Rampling is joining Dexter (I believe her part is considered 'recurring') as Dr. Evelyn Vogel. Here she is pictured at work:

 

Charlotte Rampling as Dr. Evelyn Vogel on Dexter Season 8 (Cr: Showtime)

 

I don't know about you, but I'd say what Dr. Vogel is doing in this screenshot is pretty 'unorthodox'.

Can't wait to find out how she impacts Dexter's life!

Dexter Season 8: In Production with David Zayas (VIDEO)

(Credit: Showtime)

Showtime has been busy piling on the season 8 Dexter videos--not that anyone is complaining! If you keep a close eye out, there are several semi-spoiler-y images that you can check out. I screencapped them all so you can do your own sleuthing but from the top we have: David Zayas, who plays Batista, appears to have taken Deb's place as per his stance at the podium in the staff meeting room. That then means that Deb has stepped down as Lieutenant and from the looks of this sneak peek she's gone down a couple of rungs to doing undercover work.

Speaking of police work, in the 'Dexter Season 8: In Production with David Zayas' clip, after he introduces his son who is his stand-in, we can see part of the whiteboard where the details of the current crime investigation are laid out. We have a serial killer whose crimes have been dubbed the "Surgeon Murders." We also have serveral shots which illustrate some of the Surgeon's work like this one, which, bonus! includes Charlotte Rampling:

In the Killer or Innocent Victim Dexter Clip, Dexter frets about what he has done to Debra's psyche. After spending much of his life protecting her, he may now have destroyed her. Jennifer Carpenter, who plays Debra, does a particularly great job of expressing a wide range of emotions in the clip, which is one of the reasons we love her so.

The Behind A Mask Dexter Clip again has Michael C. Hall, who plays Dexter, doing the voice-over. He's fretting again, this time about how his mask is slipping evermore and he's certain that his time of remaining the anonymous vigilante is coming to an end.

More Behind-the-Scenes Footage from True Blood Season 6!

Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård) Cr: HBO

Waiting sucks but Season 6 of True Blood premieres Sunday, June 16 at 9pm only on HBO.

True Blood returns in June, and HBO has released the third of multiple “Waiting Sucks” videos that give us a behind-the-scenes look at the new season.

This short scene involves the interrogation by Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård) of Willa Burrell (Amelia Rose Blaire) the daughter of anti-vampire Louisiana Governor Creighton Burrell (Arliss Howard). Willa tells Eric of vampire abductions and torture. The governor's daughter has been described as being sympathetic to the vampire cause so Eric is probably just showing off when he 'drops fang'. Or not.

True Blood Season 6 will have 10 episodes (cut from 12), with the first episode airing on June 16th at 9:00 pm. There are many new characters this season, including those played by Rutger Hauer, Arliss Howard, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Amelia Rose Blaire, Karolina Wydra, and Luke Grimes.

 Nurse Jackie Season 5: Next on Episode 3 (VIDEO) Spoilers

Edie Falco is Nurse Jackie - Sunday nights on Showtime

Unsurprisingly, Edie Falco as Nurse Jackie has created a character every bit as memorable (and in some ways, more so) as she did previously on the premium cable mega-hit on the "not television" channel a few years ago.

Without hesitation, I can say that season 5 of Nurse Jackie is the most satisfying yet. It is not that the prior seasons were of a lower caliber--far from it--but this season feels really fresh--the tone has changed.

Despite Jackie working on her first year of sobriety, she is nowhere near 'done' getting sober. Her life is a mess--she's in the middle of a divorce and custody battle--with a pre-teen and a teenage daughter. Work at the hospital certainly isn't any less stressful, especially with the new intern (Betty Gilpin) who 'scares (Jackie) to death every time she gets near a patient." There's a (gorgeous) new chief (Morris Chestnut) to contend with as well, though Jackie seems to do so with elan. However, Gloria (Anna Deavere Smith) who has barely regained her administrative position after being demoted to nurse, is acting strangely forgetful and the new chief is quickly losing patience with her,

And now in episode 3, Jackie meets her future. Maybe.

True Blood Season 6 SPOILER Alert!

At the end of True Blood season 5, Ex.-Rev. Steve Newlin (Steve McMillian) was keeping Luna's (Janina Gavankar) daughter Emma as a pet, while Luna and Sam (Sam Trammell) were captive in vampire HQ. All hell was breaking out everywhere, inside and out of the HQ, so the ex-Rev. was enlisted to encourage his flock to chill via satellite televised signal.

Off-screen, Sam and Luna incapacitated Newlin and Luna did the very-bad-for-you, potentially lethal, shape-shift into a real person (become their twin) which, did I mention, was sometimes lethal, as it was for Sam's lil bro, Tommy?

Last we see of Sam and Luna, she has passed out (or died) from the effort of faking being Steve Newlin for the TV audience whilst all hell was breaking loose in vampire HQ on account of Lilith, now "Billith'.

Based on the fact that Alcide (Joe Manganiello) and his number 2 as well as grandma 'Martha' (Dale Dickey, see caps), are caring for little Emma, it would seem that Luna did not survive the season 5 finale.

Stephen Moyer (Bill Compton) directs an episode of True Blood season 6 (Credit: HBO)

 You may recognize the guy at top in the director's chair. That is Stephen Moyer, who co-stars on True Blood as vampire Bill Compton. Last we saw him was at the end of season 5 after he bought the hype about the ancient vampire 'Lilith', drank her blood, and went down the rabbit hole. Bill was at vampire central command, blood-encrusted, naked, and really, really angry and it appears that he's about to wreak the ultimate havoc--burn the place to the ground.

It would seem then that Sookie (Anna Paquin), who was at vamp HQ with Eric and 'Billith' when last we saw her, must have escaped to be able to confront Jason as he's about to put a wooden bullet through Eric's sister, Nora Gainesborough (Lucy Griffiths).

Jason (Ryan Kwanten) is still clad as he was when he and others infiltrated Vamp HQ. and others, humans,vampires and shifters, he was with have not yet had their "Waiting Sucks' teases yet. But, as we get closer to the June 16 premiere date of True Blood on HBO we should be able to put more pieces together beyond one of the first to be looked at: How much time has elapsed since the last scene of season 5?

From the shots we've seen thus far of the True Blood season 6 cast, we are picking up right where we left off.

If you're gonna put a bullet through Eric's sister's chest, it's going through me first. - Sookie to Jason in re: Nora

Book Spoiler:

I'm going to bet that the idea of Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) marrying Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) to both 'do something' with the girl, and to keep her close as the war of the kingdoms continues, was Cersei's. She looks way too pleased with herself. If that is what is happening in the sequence of shots above. I'm going strictly on Tyrion's facial expressions and a single snip of dialogue that may or may not be from this scene (can't tell).

“Kissed by Fire”

Debut: SUNDAY, APRIL 28 (9:00-10:00 p.m.)

The Hound (Rory McCann) is judged by the gods; Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is judged by men.

Dexter (Michael C. Hall), only weeks after Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) murdered LaGuerta to prevent  her from turning him in, seems completely oblivious to the tumult that Deb is experiencing.

Dexter Season 8 - Miami Metro's best? (Credit: Showtime-access-tumblr-com)

She wasn't handling knowing that Dexter was a serial killer all that well and now, because of her love for her brother she's allowed him to draw her in to his murderous ways--and Debra hates both Dexter and herself but above all, herself for turning into a despicable creature that she does not recognize as the old Debra, who will not ever be able to look at herself in the mirror and just see "Deb," ever again.

Has the murder of Maria LaGuerta by Deb on Dexter's behalf at the end of season 7 started Deb on the path to a place she won't be able to come back from?

The series premiered on October 1, 2006 and has grown its loyal audience every season since its debut. DEXTER was the recipient of the prestigious Peabody Award, as well as 25 Emmy and 10 Golden Globe Award nominations, and was twice named one of AFI’s top ten television series. “When it debuted in 2006, DEXTER redefined the genre, by taking the anti-hero to new heights and pushing the boundaries of the television landscape,” said Matthew C. Blank, Chairman and CEO, Showtime Networks Inc. “DEXTER paved the way for the next generation of award-winning hit SHOWTIME series, and its cultural impact will be felt for years to come.” “DEXTER is a landmark franchise for our network, and we cannot wait to unveil the conclusion of this series, as we know it, to the millions of passionate fans who have supported the show season after season,” said David Nevins, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc. “We’d like to thank Michael, Jennifer, and DEXTER ‘s indomitable cast, executive producers, writers and crew for eight incredible seasons.” The exclusive tease from DEXTER ‘s eighth and final season premiere gives fans a sneak peek into the mindset of Dexter and Debra Morgan after LaGuerta’s death in season seven.

DEXTER stars Michael C. Hall in his Golden Globe and SAG Award-winning role as Dexter Morgan, a complicated and conflicted blood-spatter expert for the Miami police department. Season eight begins six months after LaGuerta’s murder – and Dexter is still managing life as a dad, brother, and serial killer. As Deb (series star Jennifer Carpenter) struggles to deal with the consequences of her actions, a mysterious woman comes to work with Miami Metro, offering first-hand information on Dexter’s past. The series also stars Desmond Harrington, C.S. Lee, Aimee Garcia, David Zayas, Geoff Pierson and James Remar.

Love this shot of these two ladies (above), whose scenes together are just going to get-ever-more-intense.  

If this scenes is what I think it is, the episode title is referring to James Cosmos' character Jeor Mormont  = 'The Old Bear.'.SPOILER: IIRC, he goes out with dignity--but possibly not some of his own men.

Since Dexter has been murdering people for 20 years, he's able to glide smothly past Maria LaGuerta's death by Deb's bullet (after Deb was forced by Maria-- to chose betweem Maria and Dexter).

Deb, never the picture of emotionally stability,  has something to process or 'live with' for the rest of her life and she must reconcile herself with it, fully which the latest season 8 shots seem to imply that she's not as indicated on a recent DEXTER post on this blog.

Dexter has fallen from revered older brother to sociopath older bro with whom and because of whom, Debra has jeopardized her career/her life.

An overturned bus makes for a crazy day at All Saints.

Dr. Eleanor O’Hara just wants to spend every minute with her new son.

Coop is wary of Prentiss but starts crushing on Carrie.

And, in the middle of the chaos, Akalitus gives Eddie back his old job.

All this and much more, the day before Jackie’s birthday.

I've watched the first five episodes of the new season of Nurse Jackie after having watched since it premiered 4 years ago. I am so very pleased with it and I think you will be, too.

At it's core, the show is about a head nurse who outwardly, has it all together--she's extremely competant, a leader, instills confidence in others--then it spins out of control due to her drug addiction. By this season's opener, Nurse Jackie has gone to rehab, completing eight of the steps, and has been sober for about 9 months, give or take. But she insists on staying sober by playing by her own rules which makes for a razor thin line for Jackie to walk while staying on top of her 70-hour a week job, going through the wrenching emotional mechanics of a divorce/deciding who gets the girls. Could their be room for romance, too? That would be a first--but then, so is her sobriety so don't miss what will be the best ever season of Nurse Jackie.

This is a unique recap, not just of the happenings in Game Of Thrones episode 301 but additional scenes that tie Arya, Jaime and Brienne's season 2 story to the what I'm guessing will be in episode #2--and it's close-captioned!

I really missed having any scenes in the Game Of Thrones premiere episode featuring Arya especially, as she is the most compelling character in one of the most-heartbreaking situations. She quite literally has no one fending for her--she's the leader of her little pack of  'runaways' and will continue to be, through fierce circumstances that would be daunting even for an adult, never mind a girl of perhaps twelve or thirteen.

*Question: I was wondering if you had any scoops as we head into Sunday’s finale of the Showtime series, Shameless?

Ausiello: Although the penultimate episode strongly implied that Jimmy was about to sail away to his death, Emmy Rossum tells TVLine that his ultimate fate remains a mystery — even to her.

”They shot a bunch of different things [in the finale] in terms of Jimmy, and they’re not telling us what they’re airing,” she says. “So I’m not really sure how the season ends, to be honest.”

Meanwhile, Rossum says we should also be “worried about Frank, because we’re going to see him take the biggest toll in the finale.”

'True Blood' - Season 6: Tease #1 - First Official Sneak Peek! (VIDEO) Screencaps #truebloodseason6

True Blood - Season 6 - HBO Announces Premiere Date

Alexander Skarsgård, Anna Paquin & Stephen Moyer star in True Blood Season 6 (Cr: HBO)

The ten-episode season of TRUE BLOOD kicks off SUNDAY, JUNE 16 at (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT). Based on the popular Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris, this Emmy®-nominated hit drama series was created by Alan Ball, creator of HBO’s Emmy®-winning series “Six Feet Under.” The show follows waitress and part-faerie Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), who can hear people’s thoughts, vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) and vampire Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård).

SOURCE: HBO 

True Blood Season 6: Tease #1 (VIDEO)

It was announced previously that True Blood would be scaled back to 10 episodes in season 6 due to the show's stars, husband and wife Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin expanding their household when Paquin gave birth late last summer--and according to Alan Ball, 'economics'. Given that if renewed, True Blood will be going into it's 7th season in 2014, it may be more financially feasible for HBO to keep the show (like the mega-fantasy hit Game Of Thrones) to just ten episodes per season.

 

Giving us a broad hint that True Blood has not lost it's sense of humour, Alexander Skarsgård as Eric Northman appears to be in civilain clothes--a couple sizes too small for him. (Cr: HBO)

TRUE BLOOD Casting Update - Season 6 - Karolina Wydra to Recur

Spending a year married to Gregory House can turn a woman into a real bloodsucker.
Case in point: Karolina Wydra — who played Dominika, the convenient bride of Hugh Laurie’s titular doc on Fox’s House — is joining True Blood‘s sixth season as a badass vampire, TVLine has learned exclusively.

Wydra’s recurring character, Violet, is described as a strong, sexy, possibly dangerous vamp on par with the Eric Northmans and Bill Comptons of the world.

Shameless - Episode 3.11 - 'Order Room Service' - Sneak Peek VIDEO 3

Hard to be optimistic about Fiona (Emmy Rossum) and Jimmy's (Justin Chatwin) chances for reconciliation any time before season 4 as this penultimate Sneak Peek VIDEO 3 illustrates pretty profoundly. I used to wish for them to have a happily ever-after, but truly, Jimmy/Steve is not a good guy.

Throughout season 3 he played the role of devoted partner to Fiona (at least when he wasn't boning his wife, Estefania) and stand-in dad to the Gallagher brood but ultimately, he is a thief, a liar and a cheat. Fiona, despite her horrible upbringing and grim life is a better person than he is. She deserves better so I'm rooting for this relationship to go down in flames.

(CR: Showtime)

One thing about the Showtime offer where with a Showtime subscription, you can watch basically this week's and next week's episode of Californication on two consecutive nights. That's great for the genral audience; it keeps people like me on my toes.

Though I thought I was doing pretty well keeping the episode sequences set right, I found a photo source that had gotten them wrong--and it made me double check even though I was so sure--unless the publicity peeps got things out of sequence, too. Not hard to fathom when you have two fresh episodes of the same show going out at essentially the same time. Yikes.

'Shameless' Episode 3.06 –Sneak Peeks & Promo VIDEO & PHOTOS @SHO_Shameless #shameless

Shameless  'Cascading Failures' - The Gallagher kids are removed from their home & placed in foster care--can Fiona get them back?

Jeremy Allen White, Cameron Monaghan & Emmy Rossum in SHAMELESS Episode 3.06 – “Cascading Failures” (Cr: Showtime)

Though the Gallagher's have spoken not-quite-fondly of their previous encounters with the child welfare system, Shameless episode  3.06 – “Cascading Failures,” is the first time we see them removed and placed in emergency foster care. Unfortunately, Lip and Ian end up in a high risk-prison-like environment and Debs get tossed into an overfull house, where she is expected to keep her head down and stay busy doing childcare and clean-up for the 'lady' of the house. Meanwhile, Carl and baby Liam land in an upscale bi-racial gay couple's home which would be nice--except they are dead set on adopting Liam!

In Kevin and Veronica news, this episode brings forth the most outrageous sex scene that you've ever seen them in and if you know Kev and V, you know that means it will be beyond bizarre!

Meanwhile, Kev and Veronica recruit V's mother as a surrogate and Mandy & Mickey's father, Terry catches Mickey and Ian in a compromising situation.

 Ken discovers Charlie's secret. Marcy makes a decision about Stu.

Every time I think Californication can't possibly push the envelope any further, they simply push forward and shred the thing. From Marcy's decision about Stu which will have you, depending on your sex, either on the floor laughing or doing the same but wincing, to the highly amusing encounter between former LOST co-stars Maggie Grace and Jorge Garcia, who meet up along with an uber uncool Charlie and a more enlightened Hank, the laughs keep coming as episode 6.05 "Rock and A Hard Place" queues us up for an even more outrageous episode 6 (which you can watch on Monday on Showtime Anytime, if you like!)

It is explained in the GoT: Intensity Of Iceland video, that there is only about 5 hours of light in which to shoot each day which adds to the many other challenges of creating Game Of Thrones in Iceland. Everyone seems to have great attitude about it, though. Wonder if anyone ended up with frostbite? It sure looks like a distinct possibility!

Veronica and Kevin's wife work out their issues. SHAMELESS 303 – “May I Trim Your Hedges?  (Cr: Showtime)

Episode 3.03 is my favourite thus far in Season 3. It's got some moments that you see coming miles away like V and Kev's wife's showdown--then there are others that come sailing out of left field but are really funny and provocative and really skillfully rendered. Shameless has such a great cast!

Showtime surprises with 'Dexter' early return as lead-in to 'Ray Donovan' @SHO_Dexter @SHO_Kareem

 

Michael C. Hall in Dexter (Cr: Showtime)

Surprise, mother f**ker!
Dexter Returns for Season 8 in June!

This is one I didn't see coming, but according to Showtime boss David Nevins' announcement at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour, the hit drama will debut three months earlier than usual on Sunday, June 30 at 9/8c, where it will lead into a brand new Showtime original drama.

Dexter and Ray Donovan Summer 2013

The return of Dexter and the premiere of Ray Donovan Sunday, June 30th only on Showtime.

Check out this NEW Video (above) that catches you up with Dexter's NEW schedule as well as the Liev Schreiber vehicle, 'Ray Donovan.'

Liev Schreiber in 'Ray Donovan' (Cr: Showtime)

The Showtime hit is moving to summer for what could be its final season. Dexter season 8 will debut June 30 at 9 p.m. to serve as a lead-in for Showtime’s new series Ray Donovan, which stars Liev Schreiber as a professional “fixer” for the rich and famous.

Showtime's entertainment president assures that the Dexter team will still have plenty of time to create a strong season. “They had a lot of advance warning [that this was happening] and they know where they’re going,” he said. “No less production time; a little less vacation time.”

Dates released for more NEW and returning Showtime Original Programming:

In addition to the big news that Dexter fans have only to wait five more months for season 8 to commence, Nevins announced that Showtime's Golden Globe & Emmy award-winning thriller Homeland, will return for its third season Sept. 29 and will be paired with the new Masters and Johnson period drama Masters of Sex.

More 2013 dates from Showtime: Shameless, House of Lies and Californication premiered on Sunday, January 13; Nurse Jackie and The Borgias April 14; The Big C: Hereafter will conclude the series starting April 29. Web Therapy will be on sometime this summer. Episodes will return early 2014. Here’s a video preview of Ray Donovan and Masters:

Emmy Rossum, who plays the most-awesome oldest daughter "Fiona Gallagher", brings us up-to-speed with the 3-4 months that has elapsed since last we checked in on our favourite South-side Chicago family. First of all, the Gallagher 'family' has expanded by two (and is about to add one more(!). Fiona's gotten her GED so the world should be her oyster, right?  She might disagree. Jimmy/Steve has become a stay-at-home surrogate dad which should be a great opportunity for Fiona to get out of the house more...but seems to be having mixed results (something about a man with a mop?). Frank has been MIA for months and only Debs is concerned for him, and --no surprise--Veronica and Kevin are up to some new kinky endeavors. You have to tune into Shameless on Sunday to see it and believe it. And seriously, it's the middle of winter in Chicago, couldn't you use a good laugh?

Hank wakes up in the hospital.

 Not unlike another popular Showtime 30-min. comedy which left it's penultimate season on a 'cliffhangar' about if the main character was dead from a bullet to the head, so the mystery of whether Hank Moody (DAVID DUCHOVNY) survives the attempted murder-suicide of his bitter ex-gf, Carrie  (NATALIE ZEA) wasn't too big of a question. The larger question is how will Hank 'be' after this near death encounter?  I'm betting the answer is similar to the one about the previously mentioned 'Weeds' character 'Nancy Botwin' (Mary-Louise Parker). Hank too, will eventually go back to being who we have always known --and loved him to be--a scoundrel.

Hank's living nightmare...his life after almost death.

Ausiello Teaser/Spoiler
 

Question: Any more Dexter Season 8 scoopage beyond what you reported on Monday? (SOURCE):Exclusive: Dexter Adds New Blood in Season 8 – Does It Signal the Beginning of the End for Dex)

Ausiello: Yes. Producers have quietly begun looking for a 6-year-old boy to play a 4-year-old boy throughout S8, which makes me wonder if Harrison is going to experience a growth spurt between seasons.

 

Michael C. Hall and Lauren Velez in the Dexter season 6 Finale (Credit: Showtime)

The countdown to Dexter‘s endgame has begun.

The Showtime serial killer thriller will introduce two major recurring characters in its upcoming eighth and likely, final season — and both could spell trouble for Dex and Deb. 

First up is Dr. Evelyn Vogel, a formidable and whip smart neuro-psychiatrist in her late 50s who assists the law in profiling criminals (like, perhaps, the one who murdered LaGuerta?).

This particular character's job description and roughly, age (and sex) made me think of Dr. Kay Scarpetta in the Patricia Cornwell series.

Check out the...

Link to the Official Deb kills LaGuerta gif.

 The show is also on the hunt for a 40ish actor to play Jacob Elroy, a handsome and straightforward former cop who now runs his own private eye business. GUESSES: Angel (or Tom?!) hires him to find out who killed his ex-wife/ex-partner-in-crime.

Dex and Deb are doomed to be found out if she and 'Jacob' start dating. He's her type, older and 'in the business.'  I think, sooner or later Deb will be the one to crack and spill both her and Dexter's secret.

But I can totally see Dex attempting to take the fall for his sister though and vehemently dissuading her from doing the same for him. Just the same, I see him always feeling what he does is just and worthy, though he understands how vastly different a murderer like himself is from someone who has never done so. 

The concluding season of Dexter is can't miss TV. It ought to be a total ride.

He got skunked. They had the smell of Estefania's perfume on them. He ran out of wood for roasting marshmellows. He helped dismember and dispose of a body.

 One more.

What's in store for Dexter next season?

Q: Will anyone else be suspicious of Dexter next year? 

TVG: It probably doesn't help that the once-suspicious Quinn will be starting a fling with Dexter's nanny Jamie, since that will put him right back in the lion's den. Still, "Quinn learned to hold all his cards close to the vest," showrunner Scott Buck says.

"He knows that he certainly has a lot of information that other people at the station are not aware of, so what he knows could certainly come out at an opportune moment." Let's just see if Quinn survives dating Angel's little sister. "I can't imagine Angel would be too happy about that," Buck says.

Maisie Williams as Arya Stark in Game of Thrones season 3 (Cr: HBO)

The biggest production on TV of one of the biggest stories in fantasy is about to get ...bigger.

 The Game of Thrones team is creating a “super-sized” third season of the hit series. With showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss tackling content from the first half (roughly) of author George R.R. Martin’s largest Song of Ice and Fire novel (the 973-page,  A Storm of Swords), the writer-producer duo are delivering slightly longer episodes to the network.

They will number still only ten, but the episodes will run a bit longer each week than in previous seasons.

“There’s almost another full episode’s worth of extra minutes spread across the season,” Weiss says. “One of the great liberties with HBO is we’re not forced to come in at a specific time. We can’t be under 50 minutes or over 60, but that gives us a lot of flexibility.”

“A super-sized season, as befitting Storm of Swords,” Benioff adds. “Last year we had a lot of 52-minute episodes. This year is a lot of 56, 57.”

In fact, the third season finale is expected to run more than an hour — a move that requires special permission from the network (previously, the show’s pilot and its second season finale exceeded an hour).

Episodes are still being edited so exact times could change, but HBO and producers are confident the season will deliver more Thrones than ever before. Says HBO in a statement:

“All 10 episodes gained a minute or two from past seasons with the finale very possibly exceeding 60 minutes.” “So for people clamoring for another episode, it’s in there,” Weiss says. “It’s just been cut into tiny pieces.”

Game of Thrones returns March 31.

Alex Gansa discusses the season 2 finale of Homeland.

“These star crossed lovers were never meant to be together. And every time they do get together something really bad happens. Even the power of this love that they have between them and the connection that these two damaged souls have found in each other, is ultimately a curse.” --

The wreckage left in the wake of a car bomb detonated during services for VP Walden

As the Season 2 finale for Showtime’s Homeland neared on Sunday night, the burning question became: Would Nicholas Brody emerge from the season-ender alive?

Could the the war hero-turned-would-be terrorist plausibly survive into Season 3? As it turned out his life was saved, but his love was lost.

Musician-comedian Tim Minchin will be Californication's big guest star in season 6

Season 5 of Californication ended in a rather dark place: Hank (David Duchovny) was (possibly fatally(!) drugged by a bitter/crazy ex-girlfriend and based on the exclusive first look at Season 6, things will remain dark when the show resumes — at least for a little while.

"We pick up days after that in the hospital, where Hank has survived but she hasn't," Duchovny says. "This season kind of begins with Hank spiraling down."

"We go to rehab, but it's really just for comedic purposes," Duchovny says.

The video also offers you a first look at some of this season's guest stars. Tim Minchin plays a rock star wanting Hank's help in develop his book God Hates Us All into a Broadway musical.

Marilyn Manson and Maggie Grace play some of the characters Hank encounters in the rock 'n' roll world. Other treats in the clip: Charlie (Evan Handler) pretends to be gay to land a big client who wants a new agent ("gaygent") and Karen (Natascha McElhone) and Marcy (Pamela Adlon) are roomates.

Jorge Garcia will join the previously announced Maggie Grace in the new season of Showtime’s Californication.

Grace has signed to play Faith, a groupie who develops a relationship with Hank Moody (David Duchovny). Later, her fellow Lost costar Garcia will make an appearance in one episode as an old contact from her past. Garcia last appeared in the short-lived Fox drama Alcatraz from J.J. Abrams.

It looks like Hank (David Duchovny) is literally going to be haunted by ex-girlfriend Carrie (Natalie Zea), who, after Hank broke up with her and left for California, burned down his New York apartment, then stalked Hank in California. Carrie's final destructive act, spiking Hank's drink with a potentially lethal amount of prescription drugs could prove the impetus for Hank to finally clean up his act. Can he, will it take, and would a sober Hank be a fun Hank?

Homeland - Episode 2.12 (Season Finale) - Sneak Peek VIDEO PHOTOS @SHO_Kareem @SHO_Homeland

 Homeland: The Choice Will Be Made - But Who Will Survive It?

 

Homeland - Episode 2.12 (Season Finale) 'The Choice' Clockwise: Mandy Patinkin, Morgan Saylor, Claire Danes, Damian Lewis, Rupert Friend (C: Showtime)

 

Homeland - Episode 2.12 - The Choice (Season Finale) Promo VIDEO

'The Choice' Season 2, Episode 12

In the Season 2 finale, Carrie is faced with a pivotal decision, while Brody meets with Faber to contemplate the future of the family. Meanwhile, Saul undertakes a secret assignment; and Quinn has a decision to make that may prove to be a game-changer.

Homeland - Episode 2.12 (Season Finale) 'The Choice' (Cr: Showtime)

No matter what happens on the season 2 final of Homeland, I doubt very much that it will feel ambiguous. If you've been watching thus far you know that episode 2 or 4 or even 11 could have been concluding episodes rather than contained within the season. The writers are not afraid to drive the story at dizzying speeds--yet somehow never sacrificing the character development. With Brody unmasked as a terrorist, both Vice President Walden and Abu Nazir dead, Brody's marriage over and Brody, unbeknownst to him or Carrie, with a giant target on his forehead, how can this possibly end well? One would guess that Brody's must die. The CIA has sanctioned his death, he has a black ops assassin who is tracking him--the only thing standing between him and a bullet to the brain is Carrie--which is a pretty scary thought. There's no doubt in my mind that however this turns out, that Homeland's season 2 finale episode is going to be a real nail-biter. And we wouldn't want it any other way, right? See you Sunday!

Homeland: A Preview of the Season Finale from EP Alex Gansa - Will Brody die?   

With only one episode left in its second season, Showtime’s Homeland has already dispatched two very prominent characters: Vice President Walden (Jamey Sheridan) went last week, and in episode 11's shocking hour, elusive terrorist Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban) was finally caught and killed.

Had producers known from the beginning of season 2 that Homeland‘s big bad would perish? “I think the short answer to that is yes,” says executive producer Alex Gansa. “The long answer is we weren’t actually sure how that would happen. But the reason we wanted Walden and Nazir both dead is we wanted to open the possibility that Brody and Carrie could have a happy ending, that their doomed romance was not doomed after all. The only way to make that happen was to off these two antagonists.”

... So what can Gansa tease about next week’s season finale? “The final episode is called ‘The Choice,’ and what I can say about it is .... we’ve sort of left the thriller aspects of the show behind and now we come to a very personal story about Carrie and Brody and all the obstacles that lie in the way of them being together. That is what the finale is about. It’s a real character study of these two people, where they’ve come from, how they regard each other, and whether or not there’s a future for them.” Source

It's time now to make your best guess as to how Dexter season 7 will wrap up.

Last week, after discovering that Hannah (Yvonne Strahovski) attempted to murder his sister Deb (Jennifer Carpenter), Dex (Michael C. Hall) took decisive action after lab results from a water bottle he found in Deb's wreaked car showed the water to be 40% spiked with prescription medication that knocked Deb out while she was at the wheel of her car. He retrieved the poison pen that Hannah used to kill Sal Price, the 'true crime' writer, and turned it over to Deb so she could bring charges against Hannah for his murder. The episode closed on a solemn note with Hannah declaring as they cuffed her that Dex 'should've killed (her)'.

I have to say, I felt greatly relieved as Dexter was behaving entirely as I would think he would given the great closeness he has with Debra. I never questioned that he would 'choose' Deb over Hannah but it wasn't clear until it came to a matter of life and death. Interesting too, how Dex echoed Deb's own words about keeping company with Hannah: "You'll never be  safe."

The season would seem to be wrapped up save for one very important detail: Sgt. LaGuerta's (Lauren Velez) dogged determination to clear her former lover, cop, and Dexter nemesis, James Doakes (Erik King) of the moniker of having been the "Bay Harbor Butcher.' As we saw, she narrowed the possible suspects down to Dexter and despite finding evidence to the contrary which implicated Doakes (and which she correctly suggested Dexter could have planted) and assuring her former boss Tom Matthews (Geoff Pierson) that she would cease and desist,
she continues in the season finale at full steam ahead in her efforts to take Dexter down.

How far will she go? Are the promo photos and sneak peeks which indicate that Dexter is arrested real or are they a fantasty or recollection like this is?:

 

James Doakes (Erik King) appears in the season 7 finale of Dexter on Showtime December 16

And what about Hannah? She knows Dexter's big secret. He must have considered that she would tell the cops what she knows--and that, coupled with what LaGuerta thinks she knows would seem to be all that is needed to seal Dexter's fate.

Finally, what is Debra going to do? as Hannh rightly points our, debra is being selective in her pursuit of justice by arresting Hannah and but Allowing dexter to remain free? Will Deb's conscience get the better of her and will she free Hannah? This screen shot would seem to imply that something big happens as Hannah is out of shakles and outside Dexter's apartment!

Update: TVGuide Dexter SPOILER:

Q: Will Hannah turn in Dexter during the DEXTER finale?

A: That will be the big question of the hour. But Michael C. Hall says Dexter may come to regret turning her in for more than one reason. "I think he was open to a sense of possibility and open to a sense of a legitimate future in a way that he never has been before and that's not going to be an easy thing to dismiss," he says. "He believes that Hannah does love him and will keep his secret. He, if nothing else, believes she'll do it out of a sense of self-righteousness, that she was able to keep secrets in a way that he couldn't."

Homeland : 'A Few Questions' Sneak Peek VIDEO

Carrie questions the team responsible for clearing the tunnel.

When last we saw Carrie (Claire Danes) she had, with Brody's (Damian Lewis) assistance, escaped from Nazir (Navid Negahban), called for help and returned to the warehouse in which she was being held. Upon her return, she began a solo search for Nazir, unaware that black ops agent Quinn (Rupert Friend) and a terrorist capture team were about to storm the place--which is where we pick up in Sunday's episode.

It's going to be very interesting because for one thing, how is Carrie going to explain exactly, how she got away from Nazir--that her lover--Brody made a deal with Nazir to kill the Vice President? I just can't see that going over well--though I realize that patriot Carrie would have died before she would have consented to such a thing. RIP V.P. Walden--you were a slimy bastard but Jamey Sheridan did a great job making us hate you.

Nazir evaded capture and in this Sunday's episode we may find out if he will be caught or killed or both--the sneak peek implies that he gets away but sneak peeks can be sneaky that way, as I'm sure you've realized. All the more fun to discuss what we think is going to happen, right?

Speaking of happenings, Brody's wife Jessica (Morena Baccarrin) finally bedded her true love Mike (Diego Klattenhoff) while at the safehouse, explaining afterward that she felt no guilt. When Brody finally showed up, things were awkward but upon Mike's exit Jess and Brody appeared ready to discuss their situation frankly (they both desire people that are not their spouse). But inconveniently, Brody was called away by Nazir and the discussion was shelved. I think the marriage is kaput, though. There's just nothing left between them besides the kids, who are very aware of Mom and Dad's very unhappy marital situation.

This week too, the 'mole' problem which goes back to season one, is again picked up--by Carrie--who is convinced that the only way Nazir could have gotten away was if said mole helped him. I don't know. There was quite a time lapse between her escaping, running out to the highway, trying and failing several times to flag down someone to borrow a cellphone from, phoning the 'home office', and then making her way back to the huge warehouse. Why couldn't Nazir have just slipped away, possibly using his own terrorist connections? I am glad the mole issue is at least being addressed because it's not at all a small issue. I've heard rumblings that Saul (Mandy Patinkin) is the mole which I don't believe, that Estes (David Harewood) is--he, I could've believed the mole last season but this far into season 2, I'm thinking he's more an asshole than a mole. At this point, my best guess is 'Danny,' the guy that got caught in the gunfight along with Quinn and who last we heard had a 50-50 chance of recovering. He showed up in the last episode having left Walter Reed Hospital AMA, arm in a sling, saying he wanted to help find Carrie--but who knows.

There's just 2 more episodes, people. This season has gone by in a flash. I've really dug it--the characters and the great writing/high tension of every episode have solidified my state of being hooked on this show and I'll miss Homeland when it goes on hiatus. So glad it was renewed for a third season!

 Episode 2.11 - The Motherf--ker with a Turban

Dangerously close to exhaustion, Carrie continues her hunt for Nazir and begins to suspect there is a mole in the CIA. Roya reveals her true colours under interrogation and Saul finds himself fighting to save his career under unexpected circumstances. Meanwhile, the Brodys struggle to maintain anything close to a state of sanity.

Homeland TVLine Teaser:

To the surprise of some, Jessica recently “reconnected” (so to speak) with old flame Mike, and seems to have no regrets about it. “I think she is allowing herself to go there, not knowing what is going to happen – and that is OK,” Morena Baccarin told us of her character’s mindset. “She’s been depleted for so long in her relationship with Brody that she is just finally getting something for herself.” Though that something may seem newly messy now, with Brody appropriately suspicious of the rekindled affair, Baccarin promises that by the season finale airing Dec. 16, “There will be resolution” one way or another.

Season 7 Dexter is really keeping me guessing as to where the "new Dexter," now sans his Dark Passenger, is headed. In this Sunday's episode, Debra zigs when she should've zagged, it's Christmastime in Miami and things for Dexter and Hannah continue to roll along nicely--until a large bump in the road threatens to derail their future together.

As Christmas approaches, Dexter tries to balance his life with Hannah and his relationship with Debra, but unbeknownst to Dexter, Debra follows up on what could be an incriminating tip that Hannah’s father gave her. However, when Dexter learns that the man responsible for ordering his mother’s death has been released from prison, he zeros in for a kill that might end all kills.

TVGuide SPOILER Ahead!

Q: Wow, Dexter killed Hannah's father. What won't he do for her on Dexter?
A: He probably wouldn't look the other way if she tried to kill one of his family members — and considering that Deb is his only family, it should come as no surprise that Dexter will look askance when she gets into a very suspicious-looking car accident. Will he ever be able to have a future with Hannah now? On the bright side, Dexter will try to put the kibosh on LaGuerta and Matthews' investigation into the Bay Harbor Butcher — but that doesn't mean Maria has really given up.

Previously on Dexter:

Dexter : 'Out of My Control' Episode 709 Recap (VIDEO):

Dexter arrives at the hospital to see Hannah.

When Isaak Circo (Ray Stevenson) learned that the Koshka gang sent two experienced hitmen to kill him, he approached Dexter with an offer to help him kill them in exchange for calling off their blood feud. Dexter initially declined, but agreed once Circo kidnapped Hannah to increase his leverage. It ... gave rise to a strange and entertaining alliance between the two gentleman killers.

 As it turned out, they each held true to their side of the bargain. Dexter put his serial-killing skills to good use and quickly took out the first hitman at a rifle range. Isaak did not betray Dexter as he led the second assassin onto a Koshka-owned barge, Circo came through, and gunned the guy down from above.

A short moment of victory then George Novikov (Jason Gedrick), Isaak's fed up second-in-command, showed up and shot Isaak in the stomach. Declining going to the hospital, Isaak pretty much accepted his situation--that he was going to die, and asked Dexter to take him out on his boat so he could be cast away to sea with his dead lover, Victor. Issak being Issak that meant that he would have one last philosophical discussion about 'love' with Dexter as well.

Ray Stevenson, by turns super smooth and super-scary, did the Isaak character beautifully.  He may have been the most complex and sane of all the Dexter villains.
