yendiFirst, Greg the Bunny is finally returning! Yay!
Second, wanna know the original plotline for the Scavos in Desperate Housewives?
From Watch with Kristen: In the original pitch for the show, I'm told the idea was for Tom to have two families--as in two wives and two sets of kids. I can finally spell that out for you now, because it's evident that is no longer the case. A few episodes back, that storyline derailed, and it became more about his ex-girlfriend working with him, etc. Personally, I would have loved to have seen that storyline for shock value alone, but I'm told some of the higher-ups felt it too unbelievable. There were clues, though, early on, in the bedroom scene where Lynette told Tom she'd leave him if he ever cheated and in lines like, "You're home less than half the time as it is."
And next-season Lost spoilers from that same chat:
From kimberlyj79: Has Emilie de Ravin (aka Claire on Lost) been given a full-time contract yet?
I've actually heard that all the actors have contingency plans in their contracts for next season, so that everyone is on as a regular, but any one of them could be killed off at any moment. This idea came after one of the actors who was getting killed off in October became very upset and insisted on full-season pay in order to come back at all.
From toliver63: Whoa! A character's getting killed off Lost in October? Next October?
Yes, as in the one that hasn't happened yet.
