Scoop on Nashville, Once, Five-0, Castle, Covert Affairs, Grimm, Arrow, Flash, Beast and More 

romance doomed? Read on for answers to those questions plus teases from other shows.

I hear that Rayna and Luke are going to compete against each other at this year’s CMAs — that’ll make for some awkward pillow talk — and Teddy will find love in the wrong place. Follow-up: Has Teddy ever found love in the

You mean in addition to alll this scoop I served up in August? Well, the milestone hour — this season’s seventh – is titled “Inā Paha,” and in it Five-0 must find McGarrett when he is kidnapped by Wo Fat. As the drama plays out, we will witness what might have happened to the team if they had taken very different path. Oh, and musician Gavin Rossdale guest-stars as “the nefarious Johnny Moreau.”

I was hoping you had some scoop on the rest of this season of

. If it could be about Eyal’s role, then all the better! –Michelle

Oded Fehr’s Eyal resurfaces in Episode 11 (titled “Trigger Cut” and airing Nov. 6), when Annie heads on a reconnaissance mission in Istanbul, while McQuaid’s health hangs in the balance. In that same midseason opener, Arthur takes the reins at McQuaid Security and Calder recruits a surprising new asset.

Nick and Juliette ended very intensely last season. Any clue if they will be OK? — Theo

“OK” is actually a very accurate of the Nick-Juliette relationship at the start of Season 4. The couple isn’t in a great place, what with Nick sleeping with Adalind and subsequently losing his powers, but Juliette is doing her best to be a supportive girlfriend. That said, she does make a trip to the Spice Shop at one point in the first few episodes to put a subtle, yet firm, kibosh on Monroe and Rosalee’s efforts to restore Nick’s Grimm-ness. Make of that what you will.

‘s Rumplestiltskin that isn’t Belle-related! –Christina

set this week, Robert Carlyle teased Rumple’s ties to Elizabeth Mitchell’s Snow Queen, saying, “A lot of these magical characters, Rumple has either trained or helped in some way. He hasn’t exactly trained her, but he’s helped her along the way. So there’s deep, deep history there, but it’s a really strange relationship. They’re very, very dangerous to each other [and] both slightly afraid of each other, I think.”

Elsa get out of that blue dress and into new clothes? –Lindsay

. For one, Georgina Haig was in said costume when we saw her on set. And two, I could imagine Disney having an issue with

drastically altering the appearance of a current movie franchise character/golden goose.

Episode 9, “titled “Role of a Lifetime,” revolves around the murder of a Stallone-like action-movie headliner, with the persons of interest including the vic’s onetime co-star, his Brigitte Nielsen-esque wife, and their club promoter son.

in Season 3? Along the lines of Kelly Hu’s China White? –Alamin

As you may have heard, Katrina Law will soon return as Nyssa al-Ghul, and given what happened to her lover Sara, the LOA badass “absolutely” has some bones to pick, Katie Cassidy told me. “You will see [Nyssa go through] a wide range of emotions,” Cassidy previewed, “but ultimately, through the resentment and negativity, youll get a chance to see [her and Laurel] sort of come to understanding.”

I’ve heard conflicting reports — will

Ray Palmer be turning into The Atom or not? –Bill

“Anything is possible,” showrunner Marc Guggenheim allows, before adding: “My instinct is if Ray Palmer is going to shrink he’ll probably shrink on another show. With

) will debut in Episode 305 as – name change alert! — Detective Wesley Atchison, Cat’s new partner. Being his first day of the job and all, Wes is eager to work with an accomplished detective such as Ms. Chandler.

I’m not ashamed to admit this is a very shallow question, but: Is there any way that

Jake could be from Oklahoma by way of London? I know that Jamie Bamber also plays characters who are not British, but that accent…

Many a reader has echoed your sentiment/sigh/wish, Andrea, but I’ve confirmed that Bishop’s husband is American, so no accent for you.

1) Congrats on still looking at credits! A rare skill in today’s DVR-ified, FF-friendly world. And 2), I asked around and Petersen is in fact still an EP.

, 24 minutes in, a song starts — do you know name and artist? –Amy

That tune was titled “Heart,” by the band is OurLives.

far into the future it will be before Barry starts being called “The Flash”? –Susan

I reckon that, as with “The Hood”/Arrow, it’s a ways away. And Jesse L. Martin confirmed as much, telling us, “They stick with [\'The Red Streak\'] for a while.” BONUS SCOOP: In Episode 12, we’ll meet Clay Parker, an Iron Heights escapee who leans on his girlfriend to use her metahuman skills in the name of “one last heist.”

I choose Column B, if only because I have Ben Feldman and Cristin Milioti raving about next week’s episode AKA their mutual favorite-to-date. “There’s a moment where I meet Zelda’s family way too soon — at least in my opinion, way too soon — which is one of the most fun and coolest things that we’ve shot,” Feldman says. And along the way, Milioti notes, “You also find out

, but I’m confused. What era is the show in? It’s about young Bruce Wayne, therefore, the cars should be older — which they seem to be most of the time. That being said, why are there cell phones? –James

This has been covered, but it’s worth repeating. As show boss Bruno Heller has said of the seemingly incongruous temporal cues, “It’s a mash-up, to use the modern phrase… a kind of timeless world. It’s yesterday, it’s today and it’s tomorrow all at the same time, because that’s the world that dreams live in.”

I choose Door No. 1! A photography student whose life will be turned upside-down as she unravels the mystery of her true parentage,

Annie also seems headed for romance – with a fella who perhaps shares a name with yours truly.

, I’m very interested in this show. Do you have some scoop on it? –Ilona

If you’re wondering about those ominous flash-forwards at the cop shop, allow Joshua Jackson to make you wonder even more. “Act 1 of the affair will sort of come to its conclusion at the end of the first season,” he shared with us. “But the story that’s being told from the far future will play throughout the course of the series, if there is to be more seasons.” (And alas, that may be a big if.)

Can’t wait for Hawaii Five-O’s 100th episode but are we still going to get…answers? Not to mention the whole McGarrett/Wo Fat story line that has been a “mystery” since Season One.

Follow the link that was provided above heretofore: http://tvline.com/2014/08/13/hawaii-five-0-season-5-episode-100-answers/

We are H50 fans in this household but it is unanimous that the Wo Fat story line has really overstayed its welcome. It has gone the way of Red John. Let’s close the book and move on! :D

I would say “Nick sleeping with Adalind” isn’t exactly an accurate account of what happened. Will the show be dealing with the fact that she, in all honesty, raped him? I would say it was a mystical version of a ruffie.

I doubt it. The way the show dealt with it in the season finale was terrible. No one acknowledged that Nick was basically violated and raped. Juliette was actually angry at Nick and blaming all of this on him being a Grimm attracting trouble.

Based on the way the show runners and actors have spoken about it in panels, I don’t think they even get what the situation actually meant.

The Red Streak and The Blue Blur. This show makes me miss Smallville.

Me too, that’s why I spent yesterday afternoon watching Smallville On Demand.

I’m really excited for the return of Nyssa on Arrow! I was excited before because Katrina Law but now given Sara’s death, it sounds like it will be intense.

Thanks for the Rumple scoop. I’m loving Elizabeth Mitchell as the Snow Queen and that story is one of the few things I’m tuning in for anymore.

Very intrigued by the Rumple / Snow Queen connection. Especially what Robert said about Rumple being slightly afraid of her…The Dark One? I wonder…do you know Matt whether “the boy will be your undoing” storyline is done? Or will this come back? I hope so…I didn’t think Rumple temporarily “dying” was his undoing. Or was it?

Gotham is the world of low-cost, quality props. It’s working OK.

It’s been several months, and you still don’t get that Nick was RAPED by Adalind. Nope, not at all offensive. But worse yet, I’m sure the show thinks of it in the same terms. Nice.

Thanks for answering my question, Matt. I’m still looking forward to Jake’s introduction—even without Jamie Bamber’s British accent.

I think Marc Guggenheim is being a bit disingenuous with his response about Ray Palmer. There are dozens of super-scientist/businessmen in the DC Comics universe who have no super-powers (Ted Kord, for instance, who like Oliver fights crime without extra abilities) they could have chosen to buy Queen Consolidated. Instead, they chose a name associated with a unique ability. I think Ray will become The Atom (even if it means next season he joins the Flash cast, or more likely gets his own show), and they’re just trying to keep us in suspense.

Ted Kord was Arrow’s first choice, but they couldn’t get him and instead settled for Ray Palmer. I’ve read multiple interviews with the EPs that say Arrow is going back to being grounded this season. So I suspect that Ray will be a mostly tech-powered superhero.

Ah, the world of “which characters can we use?” I’d think Ray/Atom would be the harder “get” of the two, but who knows how these licensing things really work. It sounds like Ray will end up being Ted in all but name. I’m all for a sci-tech hero making the scene (someone not pointy-weapon-based) to vary up Team Arrow as it ultimately expands.

And since I’m usually the one to say “the television shows are AU’s to the comics and don’t have to stick to Canon if it means telling a good story,” I really can’t complain too much if Ray doesn’t become the Atom. Unless I want to be a hypocrite, which I don’t.

I liked the Affair, it really made me want to know more about why they are being interrogated. That being said, the people play Noah and Allison (did none of the creators read the notebook? Don’t ruin those names lol) have zero chemistry to me. I enjoyed the second half of the show because of Joshua Jackson, he was the most compelling character.

I’m way beyond tired of the Wo Fat story arc on H50. It’s lingering on Red John status from The Mentalist. Time to wrap this up.

I just wrote this exact thing above before scanning down the comments. :)

Does anyone else find it odd that every character on OUaT is a weird twist on a familiar character, but the Frozen people might as well be computer generated, they’re so identical to the movie versions?

Odd? No. Logical/practical from a business sense, as intimated above? Yes.

I’m sure it makes business sense, but as someone who doesn’t give a rat’s butt about Disney’s business, it feels awkward to watch. It seems like an obvious and desperate attempt to make as much money as possible… Which is not what the viewers should be thinking about when watching a show. I thought Agents of SHIELD was a poorly done infomercial, but this show has taken the prize this year.

So we’re doing the Rumple has a history with the sexy evil witch plot (Regina, Cora, Zelena) for the fourth time? This show…

To be for, it was well established in the first season the Rumple has history with EVERYbody…

One of the things I loved about season one was how Rumple-the-manipulator was a part of everyone’s story in some way.

Based on that Nashville scoop, I’m even more convinced were going to be treated to all sorts of ‘Saddy’ drama in the coming months. which is pretty much just as awkward-awesome a couple name as Ruke :)

Who does casting for Walking Dead? We need Lou Diamond Phillips on the show.

Thanks for Once scoop, it sounds nice :) However, I would be happier if you gave information about TO instead of TVD…couldn’t care any less about its current storyline and relationships. :P

Never mind Elsa’s dress… when is Hook gonna shed the leathers as promised in scoop over the summer?

In one of the OUAT behind-the-scenes videos, when they are in the costume department, they show that they’ve made Elsa’s Coronation outfit, along with other outfits for other characters, such as Hook’s coat and Robin’s outfit. Maybe she’ll wear it in a flashback?

Yay! A scoop on Castle! Love it when that happens!

Thank you so much Matt for answering my question about The Affair! I hope rettings will pick up soon, cause it will be such a shame. The show has potential!

Snow Queen.But, I would have preferred a Rumbell spoiler.

And I would have liked to know other spoilers about my other favorite shows

Bones and SPN, BUT OUAT is also my other favorite show. Rumbelle are my FAVORITE characters!! <3 :)

Having to watch Nick without his powers for anything more than an episode is already grating on the nerves. Please Grimm don’t do me like this give him his powers back sooner rather then later the whole mythology of the show and plot for that matter kind of hinges on it.

Okay, I don’t read comic books. Can some explain how shrinking is an effective superpower?

There’s the ability to walk under locked doors, swim into a persons body and destroy a deadly virus (yeah I’m just guessing , I don’t know The Atom’s true benefit or if he can do/does these things) but you could also become like a flea on someone…
