Spoilers update for all episodes except the finale

[Matthew James]

Interview with Josh Zuckerman – The Best friend

VS GUIDE | Early this month we had a chance to sit down with fan favorite Josh Zuckerman and discuss Charlie’s experience at Winchester and what we can expect from everyone’s favorite nerd turned hero, so Josh how are you?

ZUCKERMAN | I’m doing great, Trish. How are you?

VS GUIDE | I’m good, so what do say we get started.

ZUCKERMAN | Sure.

VS GUIDE | When we last saw Charlie he had managed to save his friends from the vengeful Darren Gilbert and had gotten the girl, where do we find Charlie when we come back.

ZUCKERMAN | Well there’s a bit of a time gap of about two months from where we left off. Though everyone’s wounds from what happened are still very fresh and Charlie is very angry.

VS GUIDE | Is there a chance of you elaborating on why he’s angry?

ZUCKERMAN – Basically yes he got the girl and managed to save most of his friends, but there was one he wasn’t able to save Darren. What Darren did was wrong and Charlie knows that but it doesn’t change the fact they were friends.

VS GUIDE – We know Shane and Lucy know about who was involved, will Charlie find out?

ZUCKERMAN | Well I’m not sure if he knows about Maya but he sure does know Pete’s involvement and things get very physical between the two.

VS GUIDE | Interesting, now what about him and Cate Foxx, where are things headed for them.

ZUCKERMAN | Well Dianna doesn’t appear in the next couple episodes, but returns in the second half of the second run but I can tell you compared to most of the couples on the show, him and Cate will be happy but that doesn’t mean they won’t have their problems. I think the producers plan on revisiting Cate’s drug problem.

VS GUIDE | There’s been a lot of comments by fan’s that they would love to see Charlie and his gal pal Lucy get together, how do you feel about the idea of them becoming an item.

ZUCKERMAN | (laughs) well personally I don’t think fans actually want them together, I think they like the idea of them together how many times have we see fans turn on a couple they really wanted to get together, but if it were to come down to it. As long as the writers were able to come up with a solid story for them, I’d be down.

VSGUIDE | We discovered Charlie and Tracy a character he had a rocky relationship with all ready was his half sister. Can we expect more scene’s from these two?

ZUCKERMAN | That I can confirm, there’s a little bit of them here and there and they go out strong at the end of the season.

VS GUIDE | Now time for our last question there have been many rumors that a cast member will be saying good bye in the season finale, any clues who?

ZUCKERMAN– I’ll never tell, but I can tell you we leave a lot of people’s fate hanging in the balance, no one is safe and we won’t reveal who is still with us until Season Two, if we get one.

VS GUIDE | Well there you have it, thank you Josh. Though there has been no official word on Winchester’s return we hear it’s set to return mid-November and run until late January wrapping its first season. Also leave us thought’s on which cast member you would like us to sit down with next. Will sitting down with a cast member every month until the show’s return.

[Matthew James]

[Matthew James]

All though A week late. Winchester will return from it's Hiatus Thursday night My computer is having "problems" and doesn't want to save anything including my .pdf files. So I plan to flush everything and re-install it hopefully fixing everything. So I have asked Jay to convert the file from a Final Draft file to a .pdf file unfortunatley things are slightly off. Jay doesn't have all the fonts I have so it's a little off. Which doesn't effect the writting. Just the lining of things and I do thank Jay for his help. As soon as I have everything in tip top shape I will be re uploading the episode.

[Matthew James]

I know Winchester has taken a rather unexpected break, but the series is set to return the 27th of December.

Do mostly to my computer being broken and not wanting to actually save anything. My plan was to flush the system and reinstall everything however since i'll be getting a laptop for Christmas (The 25th) and I'll transfer all the work I've done over to the working laptop that day and it should be all good to air the 27th I'll also be airing the "rebroadcasted" seventh episode at the same time.

The "Once Upon A Time" Star joins the VPN Drama for Winchester's finale episode in a currently unknown role but is said to be a game changer for one of our core couples.

Any idea who's relationship may be headed for troubled waters?

[Matthew James]

WINCHESTER MAJOR SEASON TWO SCOOP!!!

With VPN WINCHESTER’S first season drawing to a close, words of its renewal has become a discussion between Network executive’s and Show Runner Matthew James, all though no official word has been made yet.

Actor Jake Abel expressed that he would not be returning whether or not a second season is green lit and had this to say “I feel that Blake ended in a strong place, I wouldn’t want his story to become ruined.”

Show-Runner Matthew James had this to say about losing its leading man “Our show was never about Blake (Abel’s character) it was about a kid who goes to a new school, the show’s core was about the people he meet’s there. I definitely see a show without Blake.”

Well plenty of lead’s have left their show’s we see saw Shannen Doherety leave both Charmed and Beverly Hills and both lasted longer without her, Mandy Patinkon left Criminal Minds and Chicago Hope, CSI, lost William Peterson and Laurence Fishburne both whom were leads at one point and of course Charlie Sheen left Two and a Half Men and that continued without him.

Well Executives are looking for a new character to fill the void left by Abel, whoever that new character is will not be the lead, and leading status will go to Actress Blake Lively who portrays cheerleader and sorority girl, Tracy Ford .

Do you think losing Blake (Jake Abel) will bring Winchester down with it, should the drama get a second season?

[joeyboy]

I think it'd be cool to see a new lead come in. Blake could always return eventually, sounds like a good idea dude
