Ausiello blind item - Popular drama to break up major couple

21 Dec 2012

Share on Reddit
There’s increasing (read: deafening) buzz that a pivotal couple on a show with a very passionate audience may be going their separate ways by season’s end.

According to sources, producers of the hour-long drama in question are looking to close out the season with a bang, and they believe splitting up this beloved couple will provide just such a jolt. Additionally, the break-up (which it’s fair to say no one will see coming) would give the series a lot of creative juice as it heads into what could be its final season.

  1. I think Castle is there just for a tease... nothing more

  2. I only watch OUAT and The Good Wife off that list, and I think both are safe since OUAT isn't likely to end after next season, and Alicia / Peter aren't even a legit couple as it is.

  3. Is there even a 'pivotal couple' on the Good Wife that hasn't broken up already?

    I actually hope it is Snow and Charming just because their 'I will always find you' rote is so freaking dull and they're such an 'external' couple, but obviously it won't be.

    I don't know if you can say will they/won't they couples like Castle/Beckett, Booth/Bones or Michael/Nikita would really count based on the way they've been written.

    Maybe Callie/Arizona or MerDer? Although they've gone through SO much and been SO hyped as Made For Each Other that it might be a little shark jumpy.

  4. My gut says someone from Parenthood :(

    ReplyDelete
  5. Definitely not Snow/Charming. I don't think it's Booth/Brennan - actually thinking season finale engagement, tbh.



    I can't see it being Meredith and Derek since they're having another baby. Possibly Callie/Arizona, but I hope not. They broke up already.



    Maybe Castle/Beckett, but I'm not sure.

  6. I think i's nikita or once or parenthood
    Impossible for castle, AM said that he wouldn't do that

    ReplyDelete
  7. My money is either on Bones because it could indeed be the final season or Parenthood which could also be the final season. Castle no, AM said once the bridge was crossed he isn't going to break them up. As for Greys, no Mer is having a baby, doubt it. Castle hasn't been renewed for next season, more then likely the contract will be for two more seasons. OUAT, nah it doesn't make sense to break snow/charming up, it wouldn't work with the show's formula and no, I highly doubt next season will be their last since its only season 2 and the show is huge.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I'm betting Parenthood.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Yeah, I kind of see that coming for Julia and Joel.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Did he say he would never break them up? I sure hope so. omg, it better not be Caskett.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Not even considering. That's not for us!

    ReplyDelete
  12. I suppose we can rule out Castle because of the info that the show could be heading to its final season. I wouldn't think Castle is anywhere near the end but who knows. I'd bet on Mer/Der on Greys.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Castle is only there to create buzz. Obviously, breaking them up would be a lot more annoying than it would be "shocking" seeing as they JUST got together. It COULD be Grey's. Just because it isn't MerDer doesn't mean it can't be Calzone. ;) Is Parenthood big enough to have a couple that would send such shockwaves? And OUAT isn't heading into it's last season. Not sure who it could be...

    ReplyDelete
  14. I think the same as you about Bones. And since it came out in Ausiello ask about another "openness to the world" Brennan, I think at the end of this season will be the engagement of the two.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I don't think it will be OUAT, because they won't be heading into a final season.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Even though I hate to say this, but I am going with Castle on this one. Hint: Hell hath no fury. But then again that might just be too obvious pointing at Castle.
    However, he also says no one will expect it and apparently none of the castle fans is expecting a break up because they just got together. Therefore, my theory is that Castle will propose and Beckett will freak out (since there have been some interviews from Marlowe and Co mentioning marriage). And that is the reason they break up and enough to freak us out over the summer hiatus. Only thing is that you probably can't base a complete season just on the break up.
    In Marlowe I trust.
    But honestly, I am little bit scared.

  17. The whole " increasing (read: deafening) buzz" screams of Ausiello's usually obvious clues, but it's not ringing any bells for me... Anyone?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Why put OUAT there and talk about final season?

    ReplyDelete
  19. If it's B&B I'm gonna be royally PO'd!

    But, sadly, I won't be surprised if it is, knowing HH & Co.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I don't either, that's why I'm inclined to think it's Grey's Anatomy or possibly Bones.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Ausiello narrowed down the list to just nine couples, so maybe it would be helpfull to make a poll? :)

    Personally I'm kind of torn between few of them so I have to I have to think about it.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Especially since this IS most likely their last year. Can't end it like that.

    ReplyDelete
  23. My first reaction is to say that this'll happen on either Grey's, Bones, or Parenthood.

    ReplyDelete
  24. They're not breaking Snow and Charming up! What would poor Charming say? His only line these days is "I'll always find you"...

    ReplyDelete
  25. It's obviously Nikita and Michael. Some spoilers came up a while back that said something would split those two up, and possibly push Nikita towards another guy.

    ReplyDelete
  26. i only watch OUaT Grey's and Castle.

    i'm sure neither OUaT nor Castle are heading into their final seasons.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I don't think so. I remember reading about the Nikita-Michael split as well and it's supposed happen sooner than the end of the season. The breakup they're talking about here is (the way I read it) a season finale thing.

    ReplyDelete
  28. yip playing on the fears of those who don't trust AM. My bet is Greys, it sounds like something Shonda would do. Not sure which couple though as I stopped watching a few seasons ago.


    I can imagine it being any of the other shows other than Bones. I think Hart has messed with their relationship enough. Final season leads me away from OUaT and Castle and maybe The Good Wife, though I would love to see those 2 stay apart.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Doesn't say it happens in the finale but by seasons end and he chose to say 'may be'. It would be a cruel cliffhanger for summer but I suspect something happens on the correct show before the season finale

    ReplyDelete
  30. Mer just got pregnant. I seriously doubt that.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Bones...Angela and Hodgins except I don't know if the passionate following counts. Not Castle, this isn't the last season.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I hope it is Nikita. I am one of about two people in the world who can't stand Nikita and Michael (I really hope to have Nikita and Alex together. There is just something between Fonseca and Maggie that has grown. I mean, I could not stand Fonseca or her character at first and only recently has both of them grown on me) so I am sure it will cause backlash in the Mikita universe. It is so obvious and expected that Mikita drives me bonkers.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I do'nt believe it's gonna be on greys, at least not MEr/ DEr since they're having a second baby and it does not fitt to them breaking up...maybe Mikita...

    ReplyDelete
  34. As long as it isn't Booth Brennan, Castle&Beckett, Meredith&Derek and Charming&Snow!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I think It cold be Nikita.it will probally go to 4th season.
    The CW would probally never allow them to go there but there Is great poential for Nikita and Alex.The breakup to Nikita and Michael would not be because Alex and Michael but Nikita and
    Alex.Lyndsy Fonseca has no chemicsty with any of guys on Nikita like she does with Maggie Q.
    And women who have ha history of sexual abuse like Alex being sex slve have been known to turn to women.And It would be nice If producers occassionly would throw bones to female slash shippers.Shows like Gossip Girl have been known to write shows for shipper fans

  36. I'm not going to mind too much if it's Castle (ducks projectiles), though I don't know that they'd break them up so soon. I have faith it'll work itself out eventually, so I'm not going to whine about it. I'm a bit worried about Adam and Kristina from Parenthood, honestly. I think that the cancer might finally take a toll on their relationship. I also would probably throw things at the screen at this point if it's Booth and Brennan. They're finally in a great place, and they have a CHILD. The writers really wouldn't do that... would they?


    The only couple on here that I think is a joke is Peter and Alicia on The Good Wife... do they even have a huge enough fan following for people to be wildly disappointed? I've been waiting for that official breakup for three years haha

    ReplyDelete
  37. If Shonda Rhimes knows what is good for her show...it better not be Meredith and Derek! If she breaks them up...again...then she can kiss Grey's goodbye. If they break up I will not be back to watch season 10 and a lot of other fans will follow suit! No MerDer = NO FANS!!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Don't know if he'll never do it, (hope so, I can't see them without each other now)
    And he said that when he'll put them together, they'll be together for good, he won't break them up right after

    ReplyDelete
  39. What about Cristina and Owen on Grey's? It's difficult to say "I didn't see that coming", but considering the positive turn their relationship seems to have taken in the last episode, well, if they broke them up now it would still come unexpected. That would give Shonda a chance for making them reconcile either at the end of this season (in case it would be the last one) or the next (which I think will definitely be the final one).

    ReplyDelete
  40. Popular drama eliminates Nikita, Parenthood, The Good wife and Castle. They have a few very noisy fans but never were popular as in ratings saying they are popular. That leaves Bones, Grey's and OUAT, that are, or at least were, popular. Considering Shonda Rhimes is the queen of stupid breakups just for the sake of ratings and because she has nothing to say since S3, my money is on GA. Calzonna.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Snows and Charmings daughter Emma is powerful because she is the product of true love. She can't get a child of divorce now.

    ReplyDelete
  42. http://www.givememyremote.com/remote/2012/07/23/kevin-reilly-on-the-future-of-bones-will-it-go-beyond-season-8/ Have you read this article on Bones?
    I also read the same thing as in Castle, put the two together (B&B), stay together until the end of the series.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I really hope it's not a couple on a show that I watch cause I love all of those

    ReplyDelete
  44. Breaking up is not usual in fairy tales. Unless they want to add some realism. Charming's reaction to Snow when he heard that Snow did it with Dr. Whale was priceless and Snow's retort: We were under a curse was genius.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I doubt it, since Meredith is pregnant. Plus, another break up for them would be... wrong. I mean, they had to many break ups already -enough!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Definitely. Another break up for them would probably be the end of Grey's.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Thats what I thought because HH said a while back that Breaking ppl up was the theme for the season. That being said I haven't a clue since I stopped watching Bones after the godaweful season 6 and especially it's ending.


    I think it might be parenthood instead don't really see the other couples breaking up so much.

    ReplyDelete
  48. It would be unexpected though, wouldn't it? And it would turn rabid fans... well more rabid.

    if they break up i'm stopping watching this series becouse the only reason i'm still watching is becouse they are dating

    ReplyDelete
  50. A broke up doesn't go with the whole "True Love is powerful"-Idea. I don't see Snow and Charming as a normal couple who deals with ordinary problems.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Because Owen and Cristina are not listed as among the potential couples to break up.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Angela and Hodgins are not listed as being among the potential couples to break up.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Yeah, that's why I find them so terribly boring, they never deal with anything ordinary, everything is external rather than internal and it means absolutely no character growth.
