Army Wives Exclusive: Brant Daugherty on Cast Changes, Heart and Soul of Season 7
just now
Tonight on Army Wives, Patrick Clarke (Brant Daugherty) arrives at Fort Marshall to begin his military career.
As we find out in the following interview with Daugherty, the character will be trying to forge a separate path from his parents. The actor also had words of encouragement for those of you who might be losing faith in Army Wives and how being on the show has affected his views of the military.
Read on for excerpts from our exclusive Q&A...
What drew you to the role of Patrick Clarke?
There was something about Patrick that I understood right off the bat. When I was reading the audition scenes, I saw this young man trying to make his own way in the world, trying to get out from under his parent's shadow.
When I was growing up, my dad was an art teacher at the middle school I attended, which was interesting. »

Doctor Who Review: The Most Important Leaf In Human History
9 hours ago
Clara got her official induction into the world of The Doctor in "Rings of Akhaten" with a trip to an alien world. It was magical and fun and reminded me a bit of one of the original words in the Star Wars franchise.
We learned very early in the episode the story of the leaf that was the first page of Clara's book from "The Bells of St. John," and with this magical alien world came the necessity to part with items very precious to you instead of money. It's all setting up a theme, but I'm sure that I cannot figure out what it is yet.
The Doctor is not giving up on his search for the mystery that is Clara Oswin Oswald. If his research is any indication, there will be no end to the intrigue any time soon. The leaf struck a man in the face and »

Mad Men Season 6: Nine Things to Know
21 hours ago
The Walking Dead Season 3 came to an end last week.
But there is a positive to this development: it means it’s time to go back to the 60s for AMC’s equally entertaining – albeit far less bloody – Mad Men.
I recently spent a day hanging out with the actors that fill the offices of Sterling, Cooper, Draper, Price to see if we could get any scoop out of their tight lips about the new season. Here are 11 things we found out that will get you ready for Sunday’s two-hour premiere...
-------------------------------------------
Don Draper’s duality: “We open with a man sitting in paradise reading about hell. And I think that's an interesting juxtaposition,” said Jon Hamm, who plays Don and does not utter a line for the first eight minutes of the season premiere. “We see it in the key art and as the season progresses you'll see »

Anna Camp: Returning to True Blood!
6 April 2013 5:01 AM, PDT
Anna Camp is on her way back to Bon Temps.
The actress - currently appearing on Vegas and The Mindy Project - will reprise her role as Sarah Newlin on True Blood Season 6, according to TV Line sources.
It's unclear for how long Camp will stick around, but her character has a clear storyline if producers so choose:
Ex-husband/ex-Fellowship of the Sun leader Steve came out last season as a gay vampire who has a crush on Jason. Might Sarah return to stake her claim to that policeman? Confronting Jessica in the process?
And just how amazing would that be, TV Fanatics?!? »

Blue Bloods Review: Hate Breeds Hate
6 April 2013 2:07 AM, PDT
It wasn't so much the "Loss of Faith" that I found so sad in this episode of Blue Bloods - but the inability of the people in a beautiful young girl's life to accept that her faith had changed.
Kathleen DeMotto had discovered new love but her death was caused when friends and family reacted with intolerance and hate.
Joe couldn't handle that his childhood sweetheart would find someone else, nevermind revert to the Muslim faith. Kathleen's new boyfriend's brother hated her because she wasn't traditional Muslim. She couldn't seem to win.
I felt for Moustafa because of the torture he received as a 12-year old boy after 9/11. It simply proved that hate breeds hate. Where does it end?
But in the end it was Kathleen's own father who took her out of this world. He couldn't live with the fact that his little girl could make decisions for herself that he didn't agree with. »

Grimm Review: Dropping Toad
6 April 2013 12:17 AM, PDT
"One Angry Fuchsbau" was a rather modest episode for Grimm Season 2.
The callbacks, small moments and humor made for a fun, but mostly lighthearted installment. But that's about it.
The references to “La Llorona’s” spiritual grandma reminded us Juliette’s upcoming choice and further shed a little bit more on the type of decisions and world’s she’s about to enter: one filled with light or one filled with darkness.
Juliette isn’t sure what is real and what isn’t and the choice she’s going to make is going to lead her to a world with light or a world covered in darkness. I have a difficult time buying that Juliette’s dilemma has anything to do with the traditional good and evil archetypes because Grimm is never anything close to traditional and Juliette, for all her annoyances and faults, is a genuinely good character.

Vegas Review: Every Girl Deserves a Cowboy
6 April 2013 12:02 AM, PDT
"Little Fish" featured the Vegas girls leaving town and the cowboys on the losing end…or so it seemed.
Apparently Frank Blackwell likes his hookers young, which turned out to be a problem for the Savoy. As I watched, I contemplated how things have changed. Would 17 still be legally considered a minor in most states if this case happened today?
I know Ralph wanted to help the girl but he was sure quick to turn on Catherine when she had to let Patricia go. There's bending the rules and then there's not following the law at all. Catherine had no legal right to hold Patricia, although perhaps someone should have asked the mom to show some ID. Not that it wouldn't have been easy enough to fake one in 1960.
Mia has turned out to be one of the strongest characters one the show. She gave Patricia a new life in »

Nikita Review: Freedom or Death?
5 April 2013 11:06 PM, PDT
At first, "Tipping Point" appeared to be a Nikita episode about Michael getting a fully operational arm again. But turned into so much more. Wow.
What a freaking twist! I didn't see it coming at all, did you? Even on my second viewing of the episode, I didn't find any glaring clues the Alex was behind the mutiny. It was obvious that Amanda did something to her, but the extent of Alex's shift in mind frame was utterly shocking. Kudos to the writers and to Lyndsy Fonseca for her outstanding performance.
In "Inevitability," Ryan and Nikita took back total control of Division and re-committed to bringing in the Dirty Thirty, shutting down Division, and getting everyone their freedom. They completely shut down Division's role in black operations for the Us government. While the search for the Dirty Thirty may have been happening in the background, Michael set out on »

Happy Endings Review: Sister Act and Star Crossed Lovers
5 April 2013 8:06 PM, PDT
Never before has Dave's steak truck gotten so much attention in two consecutive Happy Endings episodes!
In "The Incident," Penny accidentally got the truck stolen when she borrowed it to move furniture. In the second installment, "Bros Before Bros," Dave went to war with a fellow steak truck owner known as "The Brazilian."
The Happy Endings happy hour was filled with sisterly fights, forbidden romances and a life sized Brad doll. Let's discuss.
In the first half of the hour, Max's hairdresser died and he needed a replacement. After trusting Dave for some stupid reason, he ended up looking like his clone, highlighted goatee and all. Jane and Alex to the rescue! Besides better skills, Jane and Alex's hair dresser played by RuPaul had a major advantage: gossip. Max being Max, he was obviously enticed and went to town with his new information. He's a troublemaker, he couldn't resist!

Dexter Season Premiere Teaser: It Won't Be Pretty
5 April 2013 2:21 PM, PDT
Showtime has released a new promo for Dexter Season 8.
Following a trailer that paid tribute to the dead, the latest preview doesn't reveal any footage from upcoming episodes... but it does tease a darker version of our favorite serial killer, someone whose Dark Passenger is no longer such a secret and someone who looks ahead at the Miami landscape and thinks:
It won't be pretty.
Gulp.
Dexter Season 8 premieres on June 30 at 9 p.m.

The Vampire Diaries Spoilers: Who's Coming Back?
5 April 2013 1:58 PM, PDT
The Vampire Diaries Season 4 is on hiatus until April 18.
But TV Line has given fans something rather significant to ponder in the meantime.
The website confirms that Steven R. McQueen will return to The CW drama at some point this spring, though the form he takes is still unknown.
Might Silas pass himself off as the deceased younger brother of Elena? Or might The Other Side be destroyed and Jeremy join a number of other returning characters in Mystic Falls this May?
My guess: considering The Originals is all but guaranteed to be picked up... and it would mean a rash exist for multiple regulars... The Other Side will, indeed, be removed, paving the way for Jeremy and others (Lexi?) to rejoin the series for Season 5. »

Vikings Season 2 is officially History.
The network announced today that the wildly popular drama, which averages five million viewers and ranks as cable's top-ranked new series, will return with 10 new episodes in 2014.

Jim's Notebook: Da Vinci's Demons Edition!
5 April 2013 12:00 PM, PDT
The Notebook is getting emptied this week from Florence, Italy where I’ve been this week covering the world premiere of the new Starz drama, Da Vinci’s Demons.
The ambitious and beautifully crafted series stars Tom Riley as Leonardo Da Vinci and comes from the mind of acclaimed writer/director David S. Goyer, who you may know for his rejuvenating of the Batman franchise.
Here are some snippets from my chats with Goyer and the cast of the new series, which premieres next Friday at 10 p.m., right after the series finale of Spartacus: War Of The Damned.
David S. Goyer: While it may seem that the worlds of Batman and Da Vinci’s Demons are vastly apart, Goyer believes they’re closer than expected. He was an early fan of Bob Kane, who created the Batman comic book, and said, “I had read as a child that »
