Quick TV Fix: 'Moonlight' News, Plus Dirt on 'Desperate,' 'Bones,' 'Dexter,' '90210' and More

Alexoloughlin_moonlight_240As fervent Moonlight fans prepare the next round of attacks in their war against cancellation -- I'm told supporters have purchased full page ads in the Hollywood Reporter and Variety (scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday respectively) and will march outside Warner Brothers at 2 p.m. on Friday. Numbers are expected to be high as many are in town for the weekend's first annual Moonlight Convention at LAX's Westin Hotel -- the writers on series saved from cancellation continue to sketch together plans for their next season. Keep reading for the scoop I've gleaned so far on Desperate Housewives, Nip/Tuck, Bones, Gossip Girl, Dirty Sexy Money, Dexter, Prison Break and 90210...

Jamesdenton_abcsummertca07_240Not-So-Desperate Husbands: Fans of Desperate Housewives, angered over Mike Delfino's apparent disappearance from Susan's five-years-in-the-future life, need not cry for James Denton. Though the actor has been heard saying that his agent is fielding offers, sources tell me we will no doubt see Delfino again next season. Still, Susan's new man, played by Vanished star Gale Harold, will stick around for quite some time and is expected to be a major part of season five's mystery.

Kateesackhoff_bionicwoman_240Nip/Frak: As you may have already heard, Battlestar Galactica's Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) has been cast as a new doc on Nip/Tuck. Her character, Teddy Lowe, is the lady anesthesiologist I first told you about last week, and she will indeed be a love interest for Sean. Truth be told, producers were looking for a sexy, dark Angelina Jolie-type to take the part, but after seeing Sackhoff, decided the blonde was plenty capable of playing this risk taker who will bring out McNamara's naughty side.

Michaelaconlin_bones_s3_240 Lovely Bones: You know Angela's long-lost hot husband? The one she got hitched to five years ago on a drunken trip to Fiji? His gorgeous face will finally turn up this Fall. Yes, Birimbau, who is being described as beautiful, intelligent, accomplished and highly evolved, will be found. And that divorce Ms. Montenegro's been itching for might actually happen.

Michelletrachtenberg_z_paleyfest08_Gossip Gal: Though viewers said a satisfying "see ya" to Georgina Sparks on last night's Gossip Girl finale, executive producer Stephanie Savage tells me the door is open for Michelle Trachtenberg's return. We may still see that bizatch come back.

Dirty Sexy Mommy: Clare George, the woman who gave birth to Nick, but never wanted to be his caregiver, will show up in New York and set up shop next season. Sources tell me the handsome lady is in her 60s and has been living in Paris since she abandoned Nick three decades ago.

Amaurynolasco_prisonbreak_240_2Prison Breaker: Though we last saw our boy Sucre behind bars, I'm told he'll be out and about in the season premiere.

Miami Metro Manning Up: Shooting on Dexter season three is just about to start, but first, producers must fill a few major new roles, including Joey Quinn, a likeable cop who's recently joined the PD, and Miguel Vega, an up-and-coming ADA. Vega's brother, Ruben, will also join the force. Other significant additions? Miguel's wife Isabel, a young Internal Affairs agent named Yuki Amado, and a sexy, strong African American musician named Anton who we should be seeing quite a bit of.

Ianziering_cherylburke_dancingwit_29021-Old Guy: Ian Ziering (better known to you and me as Steve Sanders) may have just signed a deal to produce and star in his own MySpace series, but that doesn't mean his ties to the old neighborhood have been severed. I saw the smiley guy this Saturday, surrounded by a bevy of beautiful young girls, at Bar Lubitsch in West Hollywood, where he told a friend of mine he'd be happy to appear on the CW's 90210 spin off. Any thoughts on his role? I say he shows up as a single dude still trying to score with Kelly Taylor...

Thanks for the Moonlight info, Korbi!!!

Moonlight fans are not afraid to put their money where their mouth is - those ads AND MoonlightCon are all 100% fan funded! Wouldn't the advertisers on CBS rather have seen those thousands of dollars being spend on their products??

Too many great TV shows never find their footing in network television because they are canceled their first year. In order for something to be great it must be nutured, loved, and allowed to run it's creative course -- Moonlight has the potential for unlimited growth given the right cir***stances.

The fans will not stop until it gets that chance.

Fans are signing on to Moonlightline and Moonlightfans in droves now that news is getting out about CBS canceling Moonlight. They know they are in this for the long run and spirits seem high. Thanks for your continued support Korbi.

Thanks for mentioning Moonlight.. We the fans will be in LA this weekend supporting our beloved show..

Thanks for the Moonlight info. I still can't believe that CBS canceled it. But we fans certainly have the time, money and energy needed to bring it back. I bet advertisers really wish we were spending money on their products rather than needing to convince another network to bring it back. If only someone would air it and we could do that. . .

Thank you so much for mentioning Moonlight. Fans of Moonlight are going to be heard. We are not going down without a fight because Moonlight is so worth it.

Oh, I'm so glad to hear about Bones! The Angela/Hodgins thing with the old husband was the one storyline that I think wasn't resolved after last night. I know there are other Bones items that were put off due to the strike (Gravedigger, Booth's family, etc), but none that we were invested in seeing this season except this one! Thanks for the info!

Thank you for reporting on Moonlight!!

Sadly I won't be there for the rally or the convention as I live in stupid England. lol.

Its great to see Moonlight getting mentioned all over and the fans are working as hard as they possibly can to ensure Moonlight gets that second season it so deserves. Moonlight has brought so many nations of people together thats its an inspiration to us all.

Thanks for the DH/Gale Harold news!!
