'Greek' Secrets: Show Creator Sean Smith Spills

This Monday, ABC Family's Greek (stars Jacob Zachar and Spencer Grammer, pictured left) will air their Spring Break episode -- the first season finale -- and let me just say that if this is a show you haven't yet given a chance, now is the time to jump in. Smart and fun and a beautiful example of a basic cable series that could give any network dramedy a run for it's money, Greek is not an hour any TV geek should ignore. For those who are already well aware of this fact (and have emailed me about it multiple times), I went in search of a sneak peek at Monday's episode and my little journey led me to show creator, Sean Smith, who couldn't have been cooler and more candid about what's coming up. He actually trusted me with so many Cyprus Rhoades secrets that I'm going to split this Greek coverage into two parts: pre and post finale. Today, we're fielding your viewer questions, but please come back to me on Tuesday to hear more from Sean...

From Larissa: I'm dying to know about the season finale of Greek. To be honest, I just want to know about any Cappie and Casey tidbits period! Pretty, please?
Let's have Mr. Smith field that one: In the finale, Casey basically realizes that she's just as aimless as Cappie. She's like, I have no idea what I'm doing with the rest of my life, just like you. And that is a change for her, because throughout the entire run of the series, she's looked at him as the aimless one. And then it's like, oh wait, I have ambition, but I have no direction. She and Cappie kind of commiserate on that in the Spring Break episode, so that obstacle for them is removed, and it gives them a moment to bond. 

From Colleen: I just started watching Greek, which I love. I really want to know about the season finale or even if there are any spoilers for next season. And if you have anything on whether Cappie (Scott Michael Foster, pictured left) and Casey are even remotely close to actually getting back together that would be awesome, too.
I can tell you that another major barrier standing between Cappie and Casey -- his relationship with Ms. Rebecca Logan -- may soon be a non-issue. Conflict in Monday's episode could signal the beginning of the end for those two. Still, season two will bring a new man into Casey's life, so don't hold your breath for a Cappie-Casey reunion just yet.

From Gina: I actually like Rebecca Logan (Dilshad Vadsaria, pictured right), I think she's the best character on Greek. What's coming up for her?
Let's just say her politician father (played by Michael from Melrose Place!) has quite a bit in common with former New York governor Eliot Spitzer, and that news will elicit some interesting behavior from Ms. Rebecca.

From Renu: Greek is the best show on TV. But one thing, I am not buying this newer, nicer Frannie and Casey shouldn't be either!
Don't worry, when Frannie and Evan decide to hook up -- and they will -- I think Casey will deal with her big sis accordingly.

From Pat: Calvin (Paul James, pictured left) is my favorite character. Any news on him? Also, do you know if Ashleigh's getting any play?
Max Greenfield's character Michael will be sticking around as Calvin's love interest next season, but I'm told that C may also have another romantic option. As for Ashleigh, she'll meet her match in Myrtle Beach: a boy she's dubbing the "Hotness Monster." Says Sean, "It's a little bit American Graffiti, because she sees the guy and she keeps trying to connect with him, but it doesn't happen, so we set up sort of a cliffhanger at the end." Sounds to me like Hotness (who's being played by Jesse Williams) will be hanging out in season two...
