ABC Early October 2011 Spoiler Bits!
Bunches of spoilers here for shows I’m at least watching and hope to comment on. Some like “Castle” and “Body of Proof” I only comment on from time to time, when the big storyline arcs happen.
Here are some mini-previews before the big ones after the jump . . .
On “Body of Proof” – Joanna Cassidy returns as Megan’s mother in this episode.
On “Castle” – Alexis’ future at college is determined.
On “Grey’s Anatomy” – It’s an “all guy” episode during which Jason George returns as Ben, the guy Bailey was seeing before her current guy!
On “Private Practice” – The practice considers who to hire to replace Naomi.
On “Desperate Housewives” – Mike thinks Susan may be having an affair . . . oh brother!
Of note, with the loss of “Brothers and Sisters” I’ll probably tune in to the premier of “Pan Am” this Sunday and see how it goes. I have not yet decided about “Revenge” which premiers tomorrow. I don’t think I’ll be able to not see and loath Rebecca 🙂
