Question: Thanks for the scoop on Women's Murder Club returning for three episodes this season. What are you hearing about new show-runner Robert Nathan? Is he going to make any drastic changes?

Answer: As I reported over the weekend, there are no immediate plans to overhaul the series. And everything I'm hearing about new boss Nathan is very positive. Not only is he said to be one of the nicest guys in the biz, but he is ridiculously talented. " He's a brilliant writer," enthuses a former colleague. "He was among the very best of the Law & Order bunch, especially his work for SVU. He's passionate and really, really stubborn. If anybody can out-argue and out-last James Patterson, it's Robert. He doesn't give up."
