Although Balthazar Getty is known to be taking time away from the show (supposedly unrelated to his turbulent personal life), the producers insist he will be back to resume his place in the family.

Finally, Edie digs into Dave's past after a chance encounter with an old acquaintance. Since Nicolette Sheridan's departure from Wisteria Lane has been confirmed, it appears Edie's curiosity may end up costing her too much.Then again, after two false alarms (Edie's supposed suicide in 2007 and her being ousted from Fairview in 2008) who can take any news of Edie's demise seriously?



A character who has previously appeared on the show is however rumored to die in this episode. It all starts March 8 at 9/8c on ABC.

"Brothers & Sisters" Spoilers #3.12 "Sibling Rivalry"

Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa guest star as themselves on an all-new "Brothers & Sisters" this Sunday (January 11, 10/9c on ABC).

Kitty (Calista Flockhart) goes public with her tell-all book on an appearance on "Live with Regis & Kelly" (guest starring Regis and Kelly as themselves), but suspects that Robert (Rob Lowe) is keeping a very big secret.

Meanwhile, Sarah (Rachel Griffiths) runs into some serious financial trouble that could keep Greenatopia from making it off the ground, and Tommy (Balthazar Getty) allies with Saul (Ron Rifkin) to push Holly (Patricia Wettig) out of the family business.

Also guest starring in this episode: Nigel Havers as Roger Grant, Eric Christian Olsen as Kyle DeWitt, Will McCormack as Ethan Tavis, Leonard Wu as Christopher Chao and Cotter Smith as Gordon Alexander.

Gale Harold's Return to 'Desperate Housewives" Still Up in the Air

According to the latest reports, Gale Harold's ("Queer as Folk," "Vanished") return to "Desperate Housewives" following his October 14 motorcycle accident remains up in the air and his character will remain out of sight, for the time being.

Earlier this week, when the show came back from its Christmas hiatus, the viewers could hear Harold's voice during a phone call with his girlfriend Susan (Teri Hatcher) which explained his character Jackson's absence (he was visiting a friend out of town).



Although the actor, who suffered some serious injuries in the accident, is recovering well, it will take him a little more time to come back to Wisteria Lane. According to his spokesperson, rumors that he would not come back or come back next year are not true.

Although I personally love Gale Harold, I am somewhat indifferent about his "Desperate" character, who seems to have gone through minor changes since his original short appearance in the final seconds of last May's season-ending cliffhanger.



According to spoilers, Jackson (Harold) will ask Susan to join him and leave Wisteria Lane for good. Since the show is expected to run for at least 4 more seasons with Hatcher on board, Susan will obviously have little desire to abandon her best friends.

The episode will be centered around a neighborhood handyman, Eli Scruggs (Bridges), who passes away, and the residents of Wisteria Lane come to realize just how much he affected their lives.


Gaby recalls how Eli helped her make new friends when she moved in; Lynette remembers how he came to her aide when she was overwhelmed and neglected Penny; Susan reflects on how he was always there for her as a shoulder to cry on each time a man walked out of her life; Edie looks back on their special friendship; and Bree thinks fondly of how a small gesture he once made helped get her to where she is today.


Actors you should remember if you watched the show when it was red-hot back in 2004 when it began with a bang putting ABC back on the prime-time map, will make a special guest appearance in a series of flashbacks.


They are: Steven Culp as Rex Van de Kamp, Christine Estabrook as Martha Huber and Lucille Song as Yao Lin. The episode titled "The Best Thing That Ever Could Have Happened" was written by the series creator Marc Cherry. Don't miss it.

ABC's "Brothers & Sisters" Star Luke MacFarlane: I'm Gay

"Brothers & Sisters" star Luke MacFarlane has come out of the closet today and announced he will become series regular on the ABC series next season as his character Scotty Wandell marries his boyfriend Kevin Walker (Matthew Rhys) as part of an upcoming May sweeps storyline.

In an interview with Globe and Mail, Canadian MacFarlane, who has appeared on the ABC family drama since its beginning in the fall 2006 in a recurring role, says he is looking forward to being series regular on one of the first shows on network television to portray a gay marriage between two main characters.

In the article, MacFarlane went further revealing that he too wishes to marry one day and that, despite some concerns over his professional future, he made a decision to go public with his own sexual orientation. MacFarlane however declined to reveal whether he is currently involved in a relationship.

In 2006, MacFarlane was rumored to be dating "Grey's Anatomy's" out gay star T.R. Knight, before being romantically linked in 2007 to "Prison Break" hottie Wentworth Miller (whose own sexual orientation remains a matter of dispute.)

Whoever the man of Luke's heart is (if there indeed is one at the moment), he has made me very proud to be a Luke MacFarlane fan today and I wish him the very best in his personal life as well as continuing success in his career.

Kristin Kreuk & Michael Rosenbaum to Leave "Smallville"

"Smallville" may have just been renewed for an 8th season, but two of its principal stars will no longer be regular cast members. Can CW's young Superman drama survive without Lana and Lex?


According to TV Guide, two original cast members - Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lang) and Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor) opted not to renew their 7-year contracts and return as series regulars next year, but are open to several guest starring appearances, the details of which are being negotiated.



The producers may have expected this development as most marketing efforts this season focused on two more recent female cast members who play crucial characters on the show - Erica Durance, who came on board in season 4 as Lois Lane, and Laura Vandervoort, who joined the show this year as Supergirl.



A long-time regular male cast member is expected to be killed off for good in the first of 5 post-strike episodes, that airs on Thursday, April 17. Could it be John Glover's psychopath Lionel Luthor who turns evil all over again? The actor was rumored to be contracted for season eight, but anything is possible.

In its 7th year, "Smallville" is CW's top-rated scripted drama averaging 3.86 million viewers per week. Last season the show averaged 3.98 million viewers. The show's 7th season finale airs on May 15.
