Spoiler: The Big Tease

25 05 2010

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Does the new CW schedule mean that both ‘Life Unexpected’ and ‘One Tree Hill’ got full-season orders? – fatherdowling via Twitter
No, it does not. CW entertainment chief Dawn Ostroff wouldn’t specify the episode count for each, but indicated they are likely starting off with 12 or 13, then seeing how the ratings fare.

I need some great news about ‘Gossip Girl’s Chuck and Blair. The finale was so sad for them. – Fernanda
I don’t know if this is great per se, but it’s certainly hopeful: The CW’s surprisingly spoilery fall press release says that as Blair and Serena cavort in Paris, “Chuck mysteriously arrives in town with a new girlfriend and a new identity. Blair swore off Chuck forever but will this changed man woo Blair into having a change of heart?” My only quibble: Paris is a town?

How will ‘90210’s hit-and-run storyline be wrapped up? – Susan
The question may not be how so much as when. I asked Tristan Wilds for the scoop on his “sister” Annie finally shaking this albatross, and he said, “I don’t know how soon it will come to a close…. It’s very smart how they have kept that story going.” Tristan at least joins me in wanting that Jasper dude gone, and quick, agreeing, “He’s too weasely!”.

Weekly Poll

28 04 2010

Since all 3 shows had repeats last week, I didn’t do a Weekly Poll.

In the last poll, a large majority–68 percent–said the new One Tree Hill promos made them excited. Just nine percent said they were disappointed and 23 percent were mixed. There were closer results on the matter of a possible Blair-Dan pairing on Gossip Girl, where 47 percent said it totally interests them and 39 percent said no way. Another 13 percent were indifferent. (This only adds up to 99 percent. I do not know why.) There was a small margin again with the last question, with 44 percent thinking Ryan should be written out of 90210, 34 percent unable decide and 22 percent thinking his character works well enough.
