I just finished watching "The end of the Affair" and just wanted to comment on the season as a whole. First I think it's interesting that David Anders joins the cast as Elana's dad in season one and than in than this year Jack Coleman returns as basically the same character as Noah Bennett only where Noah made it his life to protect Claire, Bill makes Caroline no exception though I did find it comforting that he wanted to save her before he had tried to kill at least. But Coleman is a warm welcome to the cast none the less.
- DELANA and STEPHAN AND ELANA: I don't care much about Stefan and Elana, but hate the idea that there are so many Delana fans out there. But everyone is entitled to their opinion I guess.
- VICKY: I love having her back on the show, I can't wait to see how things go down with her character.
- MATT and JEREMY: I'm kinda digging their new found bromance, it still somehow weirds me out whenever Matt talks about the supernatural though and I don't know why...
- ALARIC: I love Rick, but lets be honest here. Now that he's stepped into a paternal role for Jeremy and Elena he's as good as dead. Look at their history.
Mom's status = Dead
Dad's status = Dead
John's status = Dead
Aunt Jenna = Dead
see the patern?
- CHICAGO: This is the reason Klaus has kept Stefan around? Beacuse they were friends in the 20s? It seems sorta pathetic. Don't get me wrong I love Klause as a character but he never struck me as much of a "I'm lonely and need a friend" kind of guy. Maybe if he stopped killing everyone in his life he wouldnt be. I'm willing to pretend the scene between Klaus and Gloria didn't happen cause than it would make much sence that he kept Stefan around as a peace offering to Rebecca who is another fantastic character I can't wait to see more of.
I know "History repeats itself" is a reccuring theme in the show but it just feels like we keep watching the same stories evolve with different characters. Hopefully season three will give us new storylines.

I've decided to add Castiel's temporary death to my list of favorite character death scenes to my list. He played such a large role and I think that killing him off would be like killing Angel off of Angel.
I'm either very hopeful, or just in complete denial. I'm really hoping it's not the ladder.

Everyone says Supernatural is getting worse but I think it's getting better, I love Sam, Dean, Bobby and Cas. I think season seven so far is far better than last year, hell it made me sort of cry in both episodes mostly cause Castiel had two death scenes and I don't think he's done yet. In "Meet The New Boss" after Cas came around and went to the boys for to the boys for help it was good to have him back, after they sent the souls back to purgatory (or at least most of them) even though Dean was pissed off you could cleary see how desperatly he wanted to hold on Cas and too not lose him too. And than in "Hello Cruel World" when the Leviathan walked into the water and Castiel was just gone and when Dean reached into the water and pulled out Castiel's coat it was the second saddest moment of the season. I don't think this is the last we've seen of Castiel, God has all ready brought him back twice so something tells me there will be a third time as well. How else could Redemption be a core factor in his character if he only seeked it out for about five seconds at the end of the premiere. He'll probably come back with a solotion on how to stop Leviathan near the end of the season. Who else is excited for Jewel Staite, Charisma Carpenter, Alona Tal and James Marsters. I was thrilled to see Sherrif Mills she is an awesome character and I heard she may get together with Bobby.  |

Here is where I will post Poll's to get your thoughts on things and help influence the show. Poll#1 I've realized that there are possibly more supporters of Maya and Shane than I thought there would be. So let me know who you like better, Shane and Lucy or Shane and Maya |

Jay, D.C, Thank you. Your reviews are very appreciated, as a writer the think that fears me the most is always the reviews. They can build up a writer or in cases we've seen in the past tear them down. What all of you have said, has really helped me constuct what I hope is a very logical story line regarding Warren and Blake. It toke me some thinking but I asked my self what possible reason could Blake have to not save Warren. And I came up with it let's just say the cops have uncovered their "Smoke and gun." It will not only create resonable doupt it will cause Blake to doupt himself, and to question what really happened on that rooftop. As for what you've said in your reviews, I think it would be awesome for Mr.Chris Davis to take the floor. Since we are co-writers on the episode and all. |

Wow, thanks so much I loved that you guys loved the episode. I'm so glad we managed to convey exactly what we were going for with each of the characters. I'm glad Charlie and Lucy are coming out strong and that Pete is even coming off how we wanted him too. Now too get to your individual points AMIN: In a cast of eight main characters it's hard to flesh out each in the pilot, and some had to suffer. Here it was Maya, Eve and I find even Shane a little too. Each have a much larger role in the next episode as it centers on our siblings. With Tracy that was the question we wanted to ask was what does she see in the douchebag, she will begin to see who he really is in the next few episodes. And as for Pete himself, well you havent seen anything yet as far his jackassness goes. As for your girl Lucy, well we wanted to give her that upbeat positive energy because we are going to tear this character down. Things will get bad for Lucy before they get any better, than they get even worse. JACK: Thank you also, for liking the pilot. Both Chris and I plan to do voiceovers at the begining and end of the episodes and I think it would help greatly. For what you were talking about in terms of the rooftop scene, those issues will be addressed in the next episode. As for Blake's character he isn't so much struggling with the fact that he's being falsely accused, for him it's more that he failed. And yes even having read the story back a few times I see how Blake's story was more lost among the characters as there story got bigger his got smaller. To the point where -- SPOILER ALERT: Highlight!Originally it was Blake who knocked out Pete, but as we were doing the drafts we changed it to Shane more to give him some story line other than being kinda of a dick to Lucy. hopefully the next few episodes you'll see Blake having a stronger voice So thanks again for your review and we hope to keep doing storylines that make everyone happy. |

A Short Note from Matthew James: So, here's the thing. I know the show was supposed to start airing awhile ago, and well the first two episodes have been completed, I really want to finish the third episode before I post them all three in a row. I have been really swamped I work full time in the day and am about to begin full time night school, not to mention that I will be moving out of my parents house and into my own apartment (Woot, for independence and freedom!) so I plan on finishing episode three as soon as possible and would like to start airing , September 15th! So here are a few spoilers: Producers are plannning an "alternate universe" episode for the second half of the season. Before the first half of the season is over two characters will discover they are related in an unexpected way. The season finale has been titled "One wedding and a Funeral" Aj Cook will play Blake's defence lawyer in at least three episodes LOST alumn Sam Anderson will be playing Dean Paul Fisher Several Glee cast members will be appearing throughout the first season so far, Naya Rivera, Jane Lynch and Mike O'Malley have been cast. Incase you havent caught on yet, Season One's theme is "Family." Not just the one's were related to, but the one we create when we leave home. |

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: BLAKE LIVELY With Winchester expecting to air sometime late September, the actors of the show have agreed to sit down for an interview, where each week we will sit with a different cast member. This week we sit down with leading lady Blake Lively and discuss her character, her relationships and her story line. VPN TODAY: On Gossip Girl you play socalite Serena Van Der Woodsen, a girl born into the spot light and who comes from a very rich family, tell us about your character on Winchester? BLAKE LIVELY: Well from what I can say, Tracy and Serena come from very different background which is what I love about Tracy, her parents raised her on a farm. (laughs) which I don't think Serena would last five seconds on. VPN TODAY: Producers revealed early on, that your character was meant as a love interest for both Pete and Blake, what can you tell us about her relationship with her current boyfriend, Pete? BLAKE LIVELY: Well it gets revealed early on that Tracy and Pete have been together for a long time, and when you grow up with someone, it sort of becomes hard to notice the person there growing into. I think there comes a moment, where you step back and really see who that person has become, and I think Tracy has that moment early on in the series. VPN TODAY: Stepping away from Tracy's love life, Winchester has a very large cast, who is it you love to work with the most on set? BLAKE LIVELY: (Laughs) oh well that'a question, that could land me in trouble, but If I had to choose I would say Alison, we have such great chemistry and we get to work together so little. Though when we do we spend most of our time together laughing and it becomes hard to get through takes, which now I get why the writers don't put us together (laughs). VPN TODAY: What can you tell us about Tracy's story in the first half of the season? BLAKE LIVELY: Well Tracy has lived her whole life in a bubble not only in her relationship with Pete but also, with her home life. Something happens in... episode four, I think. Something that will change everything Tracy has believed in. Tune in next week as we interview Jana Kramer on her character Maya Langston. |

ahh lol yes the timing of the two shows coming at the same time is ironic but not that odd considering the type of show is very in right now... you know witches/vampires/werewolves. But I still have high hopes for this and have a feeling The Secret Circle wont last very long they have a large cast of actors who all had failed shows, lol. And actually now I feel like a jerk but Michael Trevino is on Chris Davis and my show "Winchester" and its okay that u missed it since I think VPN's Cast list hasn't been updated and a few new shows have been picked up.

Wow I think the show looks great I love the characters and the concept, but it reminds me a little bit of the new CW series the Secret Circle, but still I think you have a great premise and a interesting story to tell... unfortunatly  Michael Trevino is all ready attached to another VPN series and an actor can only be on one VPN show at a time. But besides him I think your golden with the rest of your cast though. |

Samantha Munroe joins the Cast of Winchester Earlier this year it was revealed that casting had begun for a new a character. Early this week producers decided on Samantha Munroe, who's more communly known as Anya Macpherson on CTV's hit series Degrassi: The Next Generation.
In Winchser, Munroe will join the cast as Anna Walker in the show's second episode titled "Rush" - She will join as a sorority sister and close friend of both Eve and Tracy, which when brought together the three girls make what the students warmly refer to as "The Trinity" when asked about her new role Monroe had this to say " I'm so excited to be apart of this, Eve can be can a b*tch at times and Tracy is such a kind and warm hearted person, Anna a perfect blend of both women. She's also usually the most rational between the three girls. Seeing a fresh angle to a situation that her friends don't pick up on or notice." |

WOW is all I can say about the last two episodes, well... I can say more. Jeremy, Jenna and Matt were my three favorite characters from the go. Now that Matt knows the secret i'm sure he'll play a much bigger part in season three. He become kind of like Tyler in season one, if you don't know the secret you don't get much screen time. I'm so pissed Jenna died and was glad that John went too, though now that he is gone I feel sad for him too. I think Elijah got what he deserved and i've heard will be getting a Damon/Katherine/Elena triangle for the third season as well. Which is good cause I've kind of gotten bored from Stephan/Elena I also found it messed up that every member of the Gilbert family died at least once in the last three episodes. And I can't wait to see what exactly Jeremy's consequences will be.
