Is One Tree Hill Coming Back for a 7th Season?

 

Could the One Tree Hill series finale be on the horizon for the CW? With the promos airing after this Monday’s episode of One Tree Hill fans are seeking answers to many different questions about the show. Is One Tree Hill coming back for a 7th season? Season Finale Has Fans Guessing One Tree Hill being

canceled? Is this the end of One Tree Hill? Some of those questions are easier to answer than others, but the future of the show is definitely shrouded in a mystery that could either entertain fans, or make them upset about a new direction for the show.

When One Tree Hill came to a close at the end of its 4th season, many thought that the show was reaching its ending. All of the main characters were finishing up high school, and it seemed like a tough sell to show them all sticking around in the same town through their college years. Well the producers came up with the idea of jumping ahead 4 years in the timeline of the show, and all of the main characters had taken up jobs or graduated college. This gave One Tree Hill a whole new set of storylines, some of which helped carry the show through its 5th season and into the current 6th season.

With a lot of the storylines actually coming to fruition as the season progresses, it has caused a lot of people to start wondering if One Tree Hill would be coming back for a 7th season. Well the CW has shown interest in bringing back the show, probably in most part because it has been doing great in some of the key demographics that the network looks at. Rather than losing viewers over the years, One Tree Hill has actually been picking them up, all while attempting more serious storylines rather than just high school drama. Well the 6th season looks like it is going to end with a bang on the One Tree Hill season finale, but it may not be the series finale.

That means, One Tree Hill may go on to a 7th season. That may entertain many fans.

Grey’s Anatomy: Storyline for George

Perhaps one of the more striking features of this season of Grey’s Anatomy was the lack of screen time and storylines for George, one of the five original interns on Seattle Grace.  George fans decried the fact that there are episodes where he appeared for a grand total of 10 seconds, with no speaking lines to, well, speak of.

Entertainment Weekly reports that George will finally get a storyline of his own on the ABC dramedy in conjunction Owen’s worsening case of PTSD (which, if we remember, caused him to almost strangled Cristina to death during a nightmare).  George will reportedly develop an interest in Owen’s specialty as a military and trauma doctor.

“Hunt will start tosee something in George that no one else has,” McKidd said.  “There’s an event that happens and Hunt realizes there’s a lot more to him… that he has a set of skills that maybe he isn’t even aware of.  And Hunt starts to mentor him in a way that gets really interesting.”

There were reports last month courtesy of James Pickens Jr. that Knight will join Heigl on her way out of Seattle Grace, and, to some critics, this storyline will pave the way for George to join the military and head off to Iraq (but I thought Obama’s bringing back the troops?).

On the last episode of Grey’s Anatomy , George was less than pleased when he learned that Izzie opted to tell Cristina  first that she had cancer, and that he was the last to know.  He was obviously hurt, as for the longest time, he thought the two were best friends.

‘ER,’ two minutes and years of plot twists – EPISODE: ‘BE STILL MY HEART’

 

ER is an Emmy Award-winning American medical drama series created by the late novelist Michael Crichton and airing on NBC. It is set primarily in the emergency room of fictional County General Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. It is produced by Constant c Productions and AmblinEntertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television Production, Inc.

ER has many memorable episodes, one of those is

  EPISODE: ‘BE STILL MY HEART’

 A delusional patient stabbed Carter and Lucy nine years ago. Lucy died in the next episode, but for Carter, it just marked the beginning of a saga.

On the night of Feb. 10, 2000 — in the pre-spoiler era, when it was possible to watch an episode of television and be wholly surprised — ER viewers found themselves stunned/petrified by its final two minutes.

The scene: During a Valentine’s Day party in the ER, an annoyed Carter ( Noah Wyle) goes looking for his put-upon medical student, Lucy ( Kellie Martin), to reprimand her one more time for the day. He enters a darkened room and, to the ominous, thumping electronica sound of Lo Fidelity Allstars’ “Battleflag,” is stabbed from behind in his lower back by Paul (David Krumholtz), a delusional patient who has crept out of a shadowy corner. After Carter falls to the floor and begins to pass out, he sees that Lucy — deathly pale, soaked in blood — has also been attacked.

Those two minutes, written by Lydia Woodward and directed by Laura Innes (part of the “ER” acting ensemble as rigid boss Kerry Weaver), affected “ER‘s” story for years to come: The Lucy character was being written out (she dies, heartbreakingly, in the subsequent episode), and Carter’s bumpy recovery sent him down a path of pain, addiction and the need for an eventual kidney transplant, the last of which took place earlier this month.

The legacy of The L Word

When The L-Word first aired in 2004 it represented something huge for all dykes: an accessible image of a lesbian microcosm.

Prior to the series TV’s lesbian characters seemed to be carefully controlled anomalies, isolated within mainstream scenarios.

Enter a woman with money and a dream, L-Word creator Ilene Chaiken, who birthed a virtual pussy munchkin that gobbled up the lesbian world.

The L-Word ran six seasons, the final episode airing on Mar 17. It followed the lives of a small group of tight-knit lesbian friends in Los Angeles and their struggles to find love, sex and themselves.

In the beginning we were wet with glee. To celebrate the arrival of characters Jenny, Marina, Shane, Alice, Dana, Tina and Bette lesbian toga parties took place all over the world where Hennessey was flowin’ like pussy juice.

Hyperbole aside The L-Word really gave us clit-flickers a reason to celebrate. Chaiken affirmed lesbians really do exist and deserve our hour on television too. No matter how unreflective the characters on the show were to the average, middle-class dyke, at least we were finally visible to the mainstream.

The first few seasons were the best. Chaiken explored ideas around sexuality through lead character Jenny Schecter, who moved to LA with her boyfriend and quickly became enticed by a smooth-talking Latina, Marina. We all remember our first girlcrush; finally we got to see one fulfilled in primetime with a passionate bathroom-scene kiss.

Then there was couple Bette and Tina and the exploration of desire through Bette’s affair with a hot carpenter and, after it was out in the open, its strain on her relationship with Tina.

Coming out in various social situations, being insecure about feelings in a sexual relationship, grappling with fidelity, these are issues queer women in my life deal with and I appreciated that Chaiken was willing to address them.

But while the show initially quenched my appetite for onscreen lesbian sex, as the seasons went on the show’s creativity began to crumble. Not even the novelty of lesbian characters could stir my excitement.

Even now with the last episode aired Chaiken isn’t done ruining the legacy of the show yet. She’s decided to play lesbian Clue with her viewers. Over the next few weeks she’ll be releasing interrogation tapes online featuring each of the show’s

characters talking about Jenny’s death. Not even the thought of Lucy Lawless with a gun can keep me from unpleasantly kissing my teeth at this idea.

From ground-breaking to needing to be buried in the ground, The L Word should’ve ended before the storylines lost connection to viewers and reality.

Prison Break star gets jail time

Prison Break star gets jail time

Lane Edward Garrison is an American actor. He is best known for the role of David “Tweener” Apolskis on the television series Prison Break.

On May 21, 2007 Garrison pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter and drunken driving for a December 2, 2006 crash that killed 17-year-old Beverly Hills High School student Vahagn Setian, a passenger in his car. Two 15-year-old girls were also injured in the crash.

According to Reuters:

There will be no going home from prison for actor Lane Garrison this time if a director yells “Cut!” The 27-year-old actor has been sentenced to three years and four months of jail time yesterday for an auto accident that killed a 17-year old student.

The former Prison Break actor pleaded guilty to manslaughter in May, after crashing his Land Rover into a tree while under the influence of alcohol and cocaine in December. Two 15-year-old girls were also in the car. They all met Garrison as he was on his way to a party.

Garrison played David “Tweener” Apolskis in Prison Break, an inmate at the fictional Fox River State Penitentiary in the show, and was introduced in the drama’s first season. His character was killed off in the second season. He also appeared in the 2007 film Shooter.

This time, he will really need to make the prison break.

Heroes: Cold Snap

Heroes: Cold Snap

The identity of “Rebel” is revealed. Noah wants Danko to let Tracy go in the hope that she will lead them to Rebel. Hiro and Ando continue with the mission that Rebel entrusted to them, to keep the new hero safe.

After a short break, HEROES returned Monday night with “Cold Snap”, an hour of uneven suspense that bordered on melodramatic. There were a few surprises, like the identity of “Rebel” finally revealed, and a few good byes. I sometimes get the feeling that HEROES is trying too hard, but let’s not let that get in the way here. Over all I was entertained, and that’s what counts, right?

The big scoop last week was that Nathan was finally outed as a person with abilities. That opened the door for Danko to take over the entire operation, which he enthusiastically did. Noah is on board, but Danko is still distrustful of his remaining associate. In an effort to earn his trust, Noah offers “Rebel” to Danko. All they have to do is let Rebel rescue Tracy after which she will lead them directly to Rebel.

Scrubs’ Dr. Cox diagnosed for new drama

There aren’t many surprise castings in television these days, as actors are usually pigeon-holed into “hunky doctor/cop/lawyer,” “goofy single-dads,” and “creepy sex offenders/Ben Linus” types.

 So kudos to Scrubs’ John C. McGinley for pulling a Bryan Cranston and moving from a long comedy run to a new dramatic role.

McGinley, who has been hilarious for eight seasons as Dr. Cox on Scrubs, will now stop the goofing off in the CBS drama Back,  says The Hollywood Reporter. How serious is the new role? Back stars Skeet Ulrich (Jericho) as Richard, a man who was thought dead during the events of 9/11 only to return to family and friends almost a decade later. McGinley will play a firefighter who is now married to Richard’s former wife and raising his teenage kids. Eeek! Can he pull it off?

If that’s a little too grim for your taste, you may want to check out NBC’s retake on the 1989 film Parenthood, which starred Steve Martin and Diane Wiest. Peter Krause (Dirty, Sexy Money, Six Feet Under) and Maura Tierney (ER, NewsRadio) have signed on to play Martin and Wiest’s roles in the television show, about the hilarious joys of raising a family.

Also negotiating for roles in Parenthood are Craig T. Nelson (Coach) and Dax Shepard (Idiocracy). Nelson would play the grandfather, and Shepard would play the slacker brother–great casting, if you ask me.

Elsewhere, the CBS family-of-doctor’s pilot The Eastmans has cast Jacqueline Bisset as its lead. She’ll play the mother of the family who is a nurse in an emergency room.

I believe the McGinley news means that Scrubs’ already-slim chances for coming back next season are now almost zilch. Now we need to find a role for the Janitor!

It will be the end of the Scrubs with the eight years long run.

House, someone will die!

It’s open season on television characters as several shows end their current cycles, and one mainstay of Fox’s House has a gigantic target on his/her forehead. That’s the news from E! Online, which says one of the cast members of the medical drama will be killed off the show before the end of the season.

The death is described as a major shocker–both in how it happens and who it happens to. E! Online says it isn’t “the most likely candidate” nor is it “someone who has been rumored to be leaving,” and that the death “just happens.”

A possibly related article over on EW.com says that one major show will be rocked by a major character’s shocking (there’s that word again) suicide later this season. Could this item also be about House?

I’m by no means a House expert, but one of the House fiends here in the office swears it’s going to be Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard), though that’s just a guess. Who do you think it will be? And will this person die of lupus?

Many viewers would be pissed if Wilson goes. Many people like myself would like thirteen to be killed off since she is so annoying but that wouldnt be surprizing.

Who will be killed in House? Just wait to see the truth and keep your imagination.

David Conrad character lives on in “Ghost Whisperer”, though dead

For most people, the day they find out they’re going to die is the worst day of their life. But David Conrad’s reaction was one of bemusement.
