The simmering sexual tension has been palpable since the first second Dani met Nico in NECESSARY ROUGHNESS. Perhaps Dani has been a bit distracted with her relationship with Matt and getting past her divorce to take much notice of the extra special attention Nico has always made of point of extending to her, but fans sure did – and if the previews of this week’s episode are any indication, Dani is about to find out for herself. In a recent press conference call, star Callie Thorne candidly shared her thoughts on the possible Dani-Nico-Matt love triangle and where Dr. Dani’s head is at with such heart-tugging possibilities before her.

THE NEWSROOM: A Closer Look at the Secret Behind the Success of HBO’s Polarizing New Series
Whichever side you fall on, only one thing is certain: the most buzzed about show this summer was HBO’s divisive new series THE NEWSROOM. Maligned by critics, it was consistently berated for failing to live up to the lofty expectations of political correctness and for offering characters that were deemed too flawed for television. But, if anything, all the bad press only helped keep the show on the public radar and encouraged lackadaisical viewers to check the show out and keep tuning in. For every critic outraged over what they perceived as characters not worthy of the show, there was a newfound fan wondering why everyone was so hot and bothered by the show’s character portrayals. Say what you will, but Aaron Sorkin knows how to create shows that get people talking. That’s his genius. He knows all the hot buttons to push. [Read more…]
Ask the Addict: Spoilers for BONES, REVENGE, FALLING SKIES, HART OF DIXIE, SMASH & More!
With season eight just around the corner, any chance you care to brighten my day with a little scoop on BONES? — Paul
The TV Addict: Happy to! But rather than have us let the sunshine in, we have a feeling fans would much prefer to hear direction from executive producers Hart Hanson and Stephen Nathan, who had this to say when we posed that very question at Fox’s All-Star Celebration during the recent Summer portion of the annual Television Critics Association Press Tour in Hollywood:
The TV Addict: Please just tell me everything you can about the upcoming season premiere?
Nathan: It happens at the very beginning of the season!
Hanson: It ends about forty-five minutes in!
Nathan: With commercials it’s about an hour!
Hanson: At the end of last season Brennan was on the run because of Pellant and the season opener asks the question as to whether our guys get her back and put Pallant in jail so that she can come back. Chances are they’ll succeed because we have a second episode!
Nathan: But they might not succeed in the way that think they’re going to succeed.
Hanson: Things don’t resolve. [Read more…]
