NEWS POSTED FEBRUARY 3, 2010.
To expand on the VPtoday, network executives personally asked me to open up a question and answer thread, weekly, answering those fans who are dying to know about whats to come with their favourite shows. Check out what I found! Spoilers Below:

Question: Oh my god! Joss Whedon always kills off the most favoured characters, don't tell me thats what the producers on Faith the Vampire Slayer are doing!? Scoop! Scoop! - Jarrod
Trish: Don't fret, Faith fan! Sources confirm that the death count has been cut down to just one. At least thats what creator Jack Malone told us! "Oh no, its really just one major character death this season," he began, confirming the two deaths as a misunderstanding, "But the other thought-to-be-death is a lot more shocking than biting the dust.

Question: This season of Faith the Vampire Slayer is even better than the first! I'm more of a Mark/Faith shipper than a Robin/Faith shipper. Anything good coming up with them? - Julia
Trish: Unfortunately, no. At least not any coming up soon. However, the second episode in, returning March 23rd, is centered on Mark being brought into this supernatural world, and might just figure out Faith's deep dark secret...

Question: I'm starting to miss the wacky humour in Faith. Any good, funny scenes, or episodes in the future for us fans who enjoyed that sorta thing in season one? - Paul
Trish: Ahhh! Great question! With the season taking a dark turn, the producers have confirmed that they too enjoy the one or two episodes that sort of bring the funny on home. "Sisters, Faith and Jennifer, get in quite a funny situation themselves in the next few episodes," the producers confirmed, "Lets just say they aren't themselves..."

Question: In. Desperate. Need. Of. Buffy. Scoop! - Sharna
Trish: The producers are still wrapping up their official outline of the season to hand into the Network Executives. From what I heard, we'll be seeing a lot of familiar faces this season, alike Elizabeth Anne Allen, who plays Amy Madison, Robin Sachs, who plays the marvellous Ethan Rayne, and, just confirmed a few minutes ago -- the mysterious Whistler shows up once again!

Question: We saw the pre-screening a while back, and I was wondering. Its clearly obvious that James and Buffy will become somewhat of an item. How far will their relationship be taken this season, and the overal series, if possible. They're very cute together! - Sarah
Trish: As they say on Dollhouse, nothing is what it appears to be. James' main plot this season isn't to be a significant other, in fact, his storyline stretches well into the ninth season. His sub plot is to form a nice, normal relationship with the slayer, but as for how long it will last, its not revealed.

Question: Being a complete Bander (Buffy/Xander) fan, can we expect any big moments, possible romance-y scenes, between those two this season? - Alexander
Trish: Sorry, straight of the bat, I'd have to say no. Of course, you may get the touch-y feel-y friendship stuff, with the occassional flirt and jokes, but Xander will be very much in love with Anya, and even if that's not going so well, he wouldn't turn to Buffy to start up another relationship.

Question: Fabulous Cordy is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Scoop us! - Sam
Trish: Anyone a huge Brad Pitt fan? Anyone at all?

Question: Has a release date for Angel's return been announced? I really want to see how they wrap up his story, and how the rest of the season plays out! - Hank
Trish: Sources confirm that Angel is on a little longer break than expected. "Faith the Vampire Slayer is my main priority right now," Jack Malone revealed, "Angel's been a huge part of me, and I'd never let it go! Once Faith's second season comes to a close, Angel will return for its final episodes!" Hope that doesn't let you fans down too much! At least this new rumor might cheer you up -- looks like Spike and Illyria are being fitted into a mini series. Exciting?

Question: What happened to Connor? I really enjoyed the latest episode it released! Any possibility the network will pick it up for a second season? - Thomas
Trish: You're in luck, matey! The Network confirms possibilities of the show continuing. "The season has three more episodes to play out, that will be judged accordingly," they revealed, "If all things go as planned, the show could survive on the network. We have officially come out and cancelled the show, yes, but we are looking for what the producers have to offer us in the final three episodes to consider a possible return. There's always room for a movie..."

Question: Any spoilers on the series finale of Connor? - Hayley
Trish: Unfortunately, its beeing kept pretty tight. But we believe an old villain will return to play out as Connor's ultimate arch nemesis; the show still has to deal with the Eve characters, so its all going to be amazing! Everybody tune in to shoot the ratings through the roof!

Question: I was really looking forward to that Story of a Girl series. Any news on that? - Lily
Trish: Sources confirm that the producers are considering on releasing a film, but with the creator taking a bit of work off his back to get on with school, and concentrate on that, its not looking good for the drama series. "The characters, and stories, were very close to me. But I had to draw the line, and make a sacrifice for my educational purposes," he revealed, "If there's a chance to bring them back, I will!"

Question: Thoughts Without Thinking looks great! How many episodes in the new dramedy? - Jo
Trish: If I'm correct, the network has purchased 15-17 episodes to start off the show. It may extend, but as of now, its got to impress the network with those first 15-17 bought! But damn, doesn't look like it'll fail, does it! I'm definately checking this one out!

Question: I need a gifted scoop! Like immediately! Been dying to watch the new take for like EVER! - Harry
Trish: Reports of Sam Witwer signing onto the series has been confirmed as true! He'll be playing Hybrid. However, this information is for a role in the second season, which, by the way, sounds totally awesome!!

Question: I heard about the Trinity/Watchtower film. Has an official description been released yet? - Jake
Trish: THE WORLD FACES TOTAL ANNIHILATION - When the Legion approach Chloe (Allison Mack) at Watchtower, she finds herself waking up in the not too distant future where the world is overrun by Dr. Emil Hamiltons (Alessandro Juliani) superior race of metahumans, known as Raiders. Coming across long time friend, Lana Lang (Kristin Kruek), she is informed of the epic battle, and how the country came into Amanda Wallers (Pam Grier) control. As the war rages near, Chloe soon uncovers the identity of Darkwatch to be Oliver Queen (Justin Hartley); and when the two cross paths, only one will leave alive. After discovering what she has to do to prevent this future from happening, she returns to the past and joins forces with Lanas gang back in Odyssey to take down Amanda and stop Emil from ever creating his superior race. But not everyone will survive to see how it ends? Christian Bale, Paul Wesley, Kayla Ewell, Michael McKean, Anna Paquin, Jamie Bamber, and Sam Jones III also star.

Question: Will Lana, from Trinity, be getting a new love interest, that doesn't fly around in tights, and call themselves the Blur? - Richie
Trish: Ooh. Nothing solid has come up from my research, and investigating, but I do believe Sam Jones III is reprising his role as Pete Ross, Lana's future husband. So maybe something between those two will happen. Then again, Lois has been on smallville for 6 years before finally getting with Clark!

Question: Are the rumors true? Are we getting a lot of Chlollie in Watchtower? - Jenna
Trish: Damn straight! Allison Mack herself confirms that Chloe's main guy in her life is the Emerald Archer. "Its really fun to be stretching out the Smallville franchise with a character who doesn't even originate from the mythology of the comics," she began, excited about the show, "And to be returning with Justin makes it so much easier! I can't wait to show you the connection these two share. Its so overwhelming. Personally I've always been a Chlollie shipper."

Question: I'm a huge Lois fan. Is there any chance she will show up in either show, Trinity, or Watchtower. - Eric
Trish: Producers are currently stretching to get Erica Durance onto Chloe Sullivan's spin off series for a possible story arc in the second season. However, they confirm that it will be a maximum of five episodes, and will be there to provide those Smallville fans a little info on what could be happening back in Metropolis, with Clark, and co. "They're both cousins, so I don't see why not" he said, "I think it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to bring her on the show; but I think if we did we'd have to oblige by the Network's rules, as it is asking a lot from them to bring in a character from the comics, tied into Superman, and not Batman, or the Green Arrow. So, yeah, hopefully its possible."

That's it for this week! Hope to see you fans back for my questions on your favourite shows. Next weeks will be centered around Brian Melanson's "The Path Not Taken", "Thoughts without Thinking" and "X-Men: Legends"! So come check it out!!

NEWS POSTED SATURDAY 9 JANUARY, 2010.
Running into Faith the Vampire Slayer Producers, I was able to quote them on some juicy new storylines coming your way when the show returns -- which at the moment, appears to be February.
***Quoted from Jack D. Malone on Faith the Vampire Slayer***

NEWS POSTED DECEMBER 30, 2009.
Faith the Vampire Slayer successfully ran its first half of the season, airing a complete eight episodes out of the full twenty two. No word yet has surfaced about a renewal, but word of a third season is already beginnning to arise. Whether not the rumours are true, the ratings of Faith the Vampire Slayer prove that it could go for a lot longer. Creator Jack Malone has expressed interest in a five year plan, telling VPtoday he has 5 seasons he wants to do with this kick ass slayer.

Expect a promotional trailer within the first week of January, for the 2010 Fall. For those of us who've had a private screening of all the trailers, you would want to catch this one. Not only does it tease Oz's return, which looks epic to say the least, but this new Allistar figure has a lot to do with it.

NEWS POSTED 25 DECEMBER, 2009.
The Fall of 2009 is coming to an end. To celebrate its success we caught up with Jack Malone, who spoils a possible third season of Faith, the Watchtower premiere, Angel's last stand, and more.

VPtoday: So, the year's over. Next Fall has finally arrived, and the last episode of Faith the Vampire premieres this Saturday. Anything you can tell us about the mid season finale?

Jack Malone: Well, originally, a different mid season finale was supposed to air, but with all the delays I face this year, it was impossible to catch up to it in time. But, this somewhat finale will be just as epic. We'll have the gang finally forming into a solid group, with all members (excluding Oz) joining to fight an apocalypse of some kind.

VPtoday: Does this involve the hellmouth opening like last season?

Jack Malone: The Hellmouth will be mentioned. And plays a big role with one of the characters. It sort of erupts through one of the characters, and sends images of the future outcome of this season. Which is what this character needed. A look of how bad things can get, so they can know they're life is great at the moment.

VPtoday: Intriguing. There's been a lot of visions this season, so far, plan to keep going with that?

Jack Malone: Well, the characters pretty much have seen all they need to see. Episode 11, which was supposed to be the finale, wrapped up Faith's visions; and the images the character in this upcoming one will express what he saw.

VPtoday: So tell us. This whole season has had a lot of future storylines. Faith seeing a possible outcome. Now this new character experiencing flashes. Will Faith, or any other character, be taken to the future this season?

Jack Malone: Yes. But nothing is what it appears to be.

VPtoday: Ooh. Any news on a third season?

Jack Malone: The ratings are great. The show's moving to a more popular night. I think you can bank on a third season. I believe it'll be happening, and me and my Executive Producer, Nathan Johnson, who joined the project this season actually, will be tightly working on it. I have a great story planned for the characters, and his input for that season will make it even better.

VPtoday: So, season three's a possibility. You're not killing off everyone, like it seems in the visions.

Jack Malone: Tune in next fall to see "Vessel". That episode will explain a lot of unanswered questions based on the visions.

VPtoday: So, onto your other project, Angel. What can we expect when he returns, and any official dates yet?

Jack Malone: Hmm ... Angel. Thats a toughy. I can say, I've been working heavily on the finale; trying to find the right ending to his story. I can tell you that most of your favourite characters will be surviving, but they will be heavily affected by the final apocalypse. That said, there will be plenty deaths, big fights, high budget fights in fact, and a good send off. I have Gwen returning in a few weeks; the tragic story of Gunn; and a lot of juicy stuff coming this way on the VPN. I can say, I think his story will be wrapped up enough for fans to let go of the character. And hopefully, the season continues to stay interesting for them to stick around to see his last stand.

VPtoday: Any airdates planned?

Jack Malone: Not sure about that. Initially, I was thinking February. But like I said, it hasn't been discussed.

VPtoday: Last of all, how's Watchtower coming along? Give us some news on that. How did you impress the Network Execs with this one? What have you got planned for Chloe Sullivan?

Jack Malone: I pieced together what we like to call demos. They're short pieces of a pilot that introduces all characters, they're story for that episode, and how they connect with one another. So immediately you'd see chemistry or tension between some, and little things like that. It got picked up on the small demo, and since then, I've been planning the official Pilot.

VPtoday: Whats the overal story? Is it the same as the demo?

Jack Malone: Completely different. I've aged the Huntress, to suit the mythos. It'll be her 21st birthday in the premiere, and we discover she's out for blood on the Roman Maffia. Chloe is still her quirky, curious self, with a rather dark edge to her. There's somewhat of a triangle between her, Oliver, and Bruce, as they all share a great connection with one another. Alike Batman Begins with Rachel Dawes, Chloe will be the one to help Bruce understand there's a difference between Justice and Vengeance, and hopefully help pulls his dark character towards the light, in a sense, and tie him up to the mythos. The first two episodes mesh well, we have Adam Baldwin guest starring as Black Mask in the first two episodes, proving to be a very big villain. I chose him to show the viewers that Gotham is nothing like Metropolis, where things are expressively brighter, and more heroic, down to Earth heroes - where in here, Gotham City, its dark, awful, and just an all out bad place to be.

VPtoday: Chloe's been one of those characters that has always had that fierceness about her. Like she could handle things by herself. So her being the main character of a television show should do her justice. Anything else you'd like to say before we wrap this up and get crackin' on next year's big interviews?

Jack Malone: [laughs] Trying to get rid of me, are you? Well, I really think that the second half of Faith season 2 will top its first, and should prove to delve the characters into more development. The story gets very complicated from Ep.11 onwards, so you might want to prepare for when it returns. With Angel, just keep following the story, and you won't fall off track, I apologize for the major delays, mid terms proved to be a bitch that year which is why I'm separating my work into two different times of the year. Like semesters. Semester 1 will have Watchtower, Angel and Faith. Semester 2 will kick off with Story of a Girl, Buffy Season Eight, and X-Men Legends. I hope you enjoy the VPN in 2010. Stick around!

VPtoday: Thanks for meeting me here, Jack. Merry Christmas. And to all you gossip freaks, I'll be back to post juicy spoilers of the shows during their hiatus breaks. That includes, Fabulous Cordy, Connor, Faith the Vampire Slayer and Angel, who faces his final battle next fall. Be prepared to say goodbye to a huge part of the jossverse world. Will he live, or die? Be there February as he faces his final moments ...

NEWS POSTED 18 DECEMBER, 2009.
Earlier this morning, Brian Melanson has come out and revealed some juicy, cryptic spoilers on his Thursday Night Drama 'The Path Not Taken'. "There'll be a pregnancy, two main characters are going to fall in love, and by the end of the season, you'll see someone have to say goodbye as they bite the dust," he revealed. Production seems to have already started, with the first episode going under a re-shoot, and its also been revealed that the first season will have Selena Gomez joining the cast -- and not to mention Alex O'Loughlin (moonlight)and Adair Tishler (Dollhouse & Heroes) joining the first season as recurring guest stars. Where Alex will be going from Vampire to Mr. Mom!

NEWS POSTED 14 DECEMBER, 2009.
Its been a while since my last post, but I have returned with some very exciting news. The Network has informed me that Jack Malone and Matthew James have had a meeting, discussing the continuity of the Angel saga. When I caught them outside the studio, they had this to say. "There's been a problem on the Network with continuity issues," Jack began, "So what Matt and I wanted to do was make sure we could lessen this problem by somehow having the series finale of Angel kickstart Connor's storyline throughout his spin off." But with Eve being somewhat of a villain on the spin off, and her being killed off in the season premiere, how exactly will this perfectly match? "Right, because all jossverse characters that have died, stay dead," replied Matt, "Well Gwen and Connor will both be back on the sixth season of Angel, which is returning sometime in January, and what will happen in the finale with those characters, elevates them to where they are in the premiere of my show, Connor. Things that need to be explainined, will most likely happen on Connor, as I have more episodes, and more ways of going about it, whereas Jack is doing a wrap up season, and needs everything to go as planned." If this isn't great news, I don't know what is. "We're both excited about doing this," Jack expressed, "And we hope it brings in more viewers for both our shows."
