from tvguide.com re: Lost...

You remember how Carlton Cuse told me in the Dec. 7 Ask Ausiello that there wouldn't be time for a Rose/Bernard flashback episode this season? Well, looks like he found some time. My Lost mole confirms that a May-sweeps episode will delve into the couple's backstory. And not only will we find out how the lovebirds met, but we'll discover that Rose has something rather surprising in common with Locke. Any guesses?

Grey's Anatomy spoilers from Ask Ausiello:

Question: When does Kate Walsh's contract with Grey's Anatomy end? I'm a huge Addison fan and really don't want her to go. BTW, I'd totally have an affair with you.... But it'd just be for the scoops. ? Chelsea

Ausiello: That basically makes you a whore, Chelsea (not that there's anything wrong with that). I think it's safe to say that Addison (who's rapidly becoming my new favorite character) will be around for the foreseeable future, especially in light of the rumor that Eric Dane (aka McSteamy) has signed on to appear in at least 13 episodes next season. Naturally, no one at ABC is confirming, but the way the Grey's writers gush about him in their weekly blog, it would hardly come as a surprise.

Question: Who's the bisexual intern on Grey's Anatomy? It's not that obvious to some people. ? Megan

Ausiello: Funny story. I got an e-mail from a Grey's publicist on Friday insisting that there are "no plans for any kind of same-sex relationship this season with any of the main characters. Joe, the bartender, remains happily involved with another man though." In other words, it's possible this bisexual plot was scrapped soon after it was hatched. Of course, it's also possible Shonda Rhimes had a gun pointed at that publicist's head when he was typing that e-mail.

Question: I'm dying for scoop about the two-part, three-hour Grey's Anatomy season finale. Dr. Ausiello, I need some emergency treatment, stat! ? Greg

Ausiello: We may meet a new female surgeon who walks like Cristina, talks like Cristina, fights like Cristina and has the same taste in men as Cristina. On the patient front, there may be a huge surgery with something like 11 surgeons involved ? one of whom may be the doc who subbed for Bailey while she was on leave.

I wouldn't want a vengeance demon to be my surgeon.

Depends on what the surgery is for and if anyone else is at fault.

"I wish that hit-and-run driver was married to Carrot Top!"

Does anyone know--is the Hannah character now gone for the season, from Veronica Mars?

Prison Break spoilers, with pictures.

I woke up from an after dinner nap to find ASH on Monarch of the Glen. No idea if he is now a regular or not. NOTE: Series may be starting reruns any minute now. ASH may have been on the closer.

That's not a spoiler, is it?

ita, I can't see how. But I only saw about 10 minutes of the show. Just blinked and there ASH was. He certainly wasn't the lead. (who seemed to be a hottie, but not the hottie I remember from a few years back)

You should probably put it in the Buffy thread, then, not here.
