Question: Now that the Grey's finale has aired, can you tell us which kiss was the "major" one that Shonda Rhimes was talking about?
Answer: Based on her morning-after post-mortem, I think she was referring to Mer/Der's big smooch. Personally, the Alex/Izzie kiss was the only one that made me lean into the TV.

Question: Nicollette Sheridan's absence was noticeable on the season finale of Desperate Housewives. I heard that Marc Cherry said that Edie would be gone for awhile, but he could see her coming back in a "few years." Since the show fast-forwarded five years, was that his coy way of saying she'll be back in the fall?
Answer: Congratulations Candy — you just answered your very own question! I believe that's only the second time that's happened in AA history. Let's have a round of applause for Candy!

Question: Thanks for all the awesome Weeds scoopage of late. At the risk of seeming greedy… oh, what the hell, gimme more!
Answer: The show has cast the Mexican George Clooney (aka Demian Bichir) to play Mary Louise Parker's new love interest this season. His character, Esteban, is the mayor of Tijuana, and he's described as sexy, dangerous and powerful — the trifecta!

Question: After seeing that explosive finale for Criminal Minds, I have to ask: Is someone leaving the show?
Answer: I'm guessing not. When asked who got blown up in the episodes final seconds, exec producer Ed Bernero said in this week's issue of TV Guide, "The person who's injured is the right person to have been injured, and it will all make sense when you see the rest of this story." Notice how he said injured and not killed? Notice also how I repurposed a fairly innocuous quote from the magazine to distract you from the fact that I really don't have an answer to your question? I'm sneaky like that.

Question: Any word on whether Michaela McManus (Lindsey) is returning to One Tree Hill next season?
Answer: Based on the finale, I'd say there's a 33.333333 percent shot, right? Truth be told, no final decision has been made yet. Wisely, McManus isn't twiddling her thumbs waiting for producers to decide her fate. The up-and-comer has booked a juicy guest stint on CSI: NY to air next fall. She'll play a flight attendant who gets caught up in a hijack scheme and ends up helping Mac.

Question: OK, Ausiello, get me psyched for the Lost two-hour finale on Thursday!
Answer: The significant death I hinted in the last AA? It's for sure an original cast member. This just in: Better make that (gulp) three original cast members. That's right, per my Lost mole, a trio of island vets won't survive tomorrow's finale. Crikey!
