ABC Late March ’11 Spoilers
ABC shows begin trickling back in near the end of March. I am assuming still that it’s Post-February Sweeps and March Madness that that have so many shows (not just ABC) in rerun right now.
-“Castle” will have a soap themed episode, paying homage to Nathan Fallion’s time on “One Life to Live” with the episode “One Life to Lose.”
– Katie learns something about her ex-fiance Joshua, aka “The Watcher” on “No Ordinary Family.”
– I am still posting spoilers for “Off The Map” when they come in. The prospects for renewal aren’t high, but I’m enjoying the show. It’s pure trash 🙂 In this episode a controversial transplant takes place at the clinic.
– The Chief is desperate to get Adele into the Alzheimer’s trial, while the residents competition for Chief Resident goes into overdrive on “Grey’s Anatomy.”
– “ER’s” Alex Kingston guests as a doctor who pans Violet’s book, and who Sheldon has the hots for on “Private Practice.”
CORBIN BERNSEN, REBECCA BUDIG, CAMERON MATHISON AND JANE SEYMOUR GUEST STAR IN SOAPS-THEMED STORYLINE Of ABC’S “CASTLE”
“One Life to Lose” — Corbin Bernsen (“The Young and the Restless,” “Psyche”), Rebecca Budig (“All My Children”), Cameron Mathison (“All My Children”) and Jane Seymour (“Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman”) guest star in a soap opera-themed storyline of “Castle,” MONDAY, MARCH 21 (10:01-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
In the episode, a murder has been committed on the set of “Temptation Lane,” one of New York’s longest running soap operas. Sarah Cutler, the head writer on the soap, has been killed with a fire axe. Castle & Beckett quickly discover that the behind the scenes drama at “Temptation Lane” is just as scandalous as the fictitious storylines, and just about everyone would kill to get ahead. Ultimately, Castle’s unique skill set as a writer leads to a discovery about the killer and the secret he or she would do anything to protect.
Character teasers: Lance Buchanan (Bernsen), a rugged, self-assured, veteran actor on “Temptation Lane,” has a romantic history with Castle’s mother, Martha Rodgers; Mandy Bronson (Budig) is the young and gorgeous diva lead actress on the soap opera who is very aware of her sexuality and uses it to her advantage any chance she gets; Vince Bowers (Mathison) is the devastated husband of the victim, and as a director on “Temptation Lane” is very involved in the backstage drama; and Gloria Chambers (Seymour), the grieving mother of the murder victim, is revealed in a shocking twist to have a deep, dark secret that she’s desperate to keep.
Guest Cast: Corbin Bernsen as Lance Buchanan, Rebecca Budig as Mandy Bronson, Cameron Mathison as Vince Bowers, Jane Seymour as Gloria Chambers.
