Paul Wesley talks to TV Line about Stefan and Elena

Posted by Jessica on

In an interview with TV Line, The Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley talks about his character Stefan, the relationship between Stefan and Elena, and does he want Stefan and Elena to get back together.

TVLINE | Are you rooting for them to get together right now? Is that something you’d like to see?
Not necessarily, but I’m also not against it. I just feel like things have to happen naturally, and I don’t want anything force-fed. I don’t want the audience to get sick of any one relationship. Quite truthfully, I think they needed to break up — and I think eventually they’ll need to get back together.

Eddie Izzard Cast as Grandpa for NBC’s Reboot “The Munsters”

Posted by Jessica on

I posted about how NBC Network is rebooting the 60′s classic television series “Munsters” and the new series will be called “Mockingbird Lane.” Recently, NBC postponed the series because they claimed that they haven’t cast anyone for the series, well, according to TV Line, Eddie Izzard has been cast as “Grandpa.”

Sources confirm to TVLine that the former Riches patriarch is nearing a deal to play Grandpa in the high profile pilot, which is now being called Mockingbird Lane.

The role was originated by Al Lewis in classic ’60s version.

The project, which was originally slated to go into production this month but got pushed back until early summer due to casting issues, is being stewarded by Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller and X-Men auteur Bryan Singer. Whereas the original was a comedy, the remake is being billed by NBC as a “visually spectacular one hour drama.”
