Quick TV Fix: 'Scrubs' Wedding Scoop, Plus 'Entourage,' 'My Boys,' 'Wildfire' and 'O Road'

You asked for info on the following series, so I went snooping...

Matters of the Sacred Heart: I hear Scrubs wedding bells. A source tells me that a main character whom we've known and loved since season one will be tying the knot when the show returns. The nuptials will be a big deal. In fact, I'm hearing most of the Sacred Heart staff will journey to the Bahamas to witness the exchanging of vows. Can you guess who's getting hitched?

Abandoning the Entourage?: Obviously, Ari Gold is not a character that Entourage creator Doug Ellin would ever let go. But word is A.G. will be up for a major career move this season: studio head. When a major movie mogul kicks the bucket, Ari will be courted by the dead dude's boss. Wined, dined and flown to France, he'll put serious thought into saying sayonara to his talent agent days. And, p.s., I've received several emails asking whether or not publicist Shauna (Debi Mazar) and studio executive Dana Gordon (Constance Zimmer, pictured left) will return this year, and the answer is yes. In fact, Mrs. Ari (Perrey Reeves) will finally find out about Ari's past relationship with Ms. Gordon and oppose a continued working partnership between the two.

My Boy: If, like me, you were hoping that Bobby (Kyle Howard, pictured far right) would turn out to be the guy that P.J. brings to Italy and begins a torrid affair with, you're out of luck. Even if he is the dude who upgraded her to first class, it doesn't look like things are going to work out for them. I'm told Bobby will have a new lady friend on My Boys this season and their walk down the aisle is imminent.

October is Just Around The Corner: I ran into October Road actress Odette Yustman (pictured, left) yesterday who told me the entire cast is now preparing to film that final chapter of the series, despite cancellation: "We all just get along so well, so it will be really special to fly back down to Atlanta and shoot one last hour of the show to tie things up... It should happen in the next couple months. That's what we're hoping for." That's right, friends, she said "hour" as opposed to the "15 minutes" E.P. Josh Appelbaum spoke of, but I'm still digging to make sure that's actually true. Stay tuned... As for tying up her character's storyline, Odette had this to say: "I'd like to think Aubrey would end up with Nick, but I have a feeling I might end up with Ronnie!"

The Wildfire Spreads: Last week, my email inbox got very well acquainted with enthusiastic Wildfire fans upset over the cancellation of their beloved series. Begging for ratings on the finale and the season overall, I did a little digging and was informed by a network insider that the last episode scored a .57 in households (about 646,000 people), which is less than season average: a .75 in households. I was also told that the ABC Family offices are currently being inundated with emails, faxes and phone calls from ardent fans. Regarding a revival of the series, the ABCF employee said, "Never say never, but at this time, there are no plans." Still, the network is definitely taking notice of viewer enthusiasm. So far, www.SaveWildfire.com has sent 500 cast iron horseshoes, 450 pounds of hay in boxes and one thousand pounds of carrots to ABC Family President, Paul Lee, to show their support. Today, they are planning to deliver three thousand pounds of hay bales, though I'm told the shipment has not yet arrived...

Ari can be studio head, or head janitor for all I care. Just as long as he stays on the show. He's the only reason I watch it.

Also, thanks for the O-Road update. Good to hear they bumped up the final chapter to an hour. 15 minutes was way too short.

My guess on the Scrubs wedding is The Janitor to his lady friend.

thanks for the OR update. i sure hope that hour long closure is true, 15 minutes would just not work out well... you cant wrap up a series in 15 minutes!!

Thanks Korbi for the update on October Road! I so hope that is true about the whole hour. I really really really love that show. Also, that cast and the creators all sound like they must be such wonderful people.

Thanks for the October Road scoop Korbi! Please keep us posted :)

A new lady friend for Bobby? Say it ain't so. . . (though I still think he's the one on the plane)

Thanks so much Korbi for the October Road update! I still think we need to fight for the show, the writers/crew, the cast and each other, and do it fast! We probably don't have much time, but we can't give up. I hope that it did get pushed up to an hr, 15 mins was WAY to short, but an hr is still not long enough. We need our show back on tv! So, come on guys get to work and let's do all we can to SAVE OCTOBER ROAD!!!

Thank you for the update. That is great news. Of course we all want season 3 or more episodes but what a great group of actors and creators. I am so excited for the hour finale, 15 minutes just didn't seem right. There is still so much story to tell. I can't wait to hear more.

Do you know if ABC is doing this or if it is the creators/producers?
