21:10 - Agents of SHIELD - Season 3B - Luke Mitchell CBR Interview
Thanks to Alex Forrest for the heads up.
On where viewers will find Lincoln Campbell when the show returns:
When the show picks up again he's in S.H.I.E.L.D. -- he's working with S.H.I.E.L.D. -- I think that's safe to say without being shot. The reason he's with S.H.I.E.L.D. is because of Daisy, that's fairly obvious. But the fact is, he is in S.H.I.E.L.D. He has to remain there because that's the best thing for him. At this point in time he doesn't have anything else. He has Daisy, and therefore he has S.H.I.E.L.D. And therefore he wants to stay in S.H.I.E.L.D. and do the best he can for S.H.I.E.L.D.
Moving forward we're definitely going to deal a little bit more with some of the things that were introduced in episode three, with some of his past demons eventually popping up…Yeah, before I get in trouble I'll stop that sentence…
I think I'm allowed to say Lincoln and Daisy will continue to, y'know, romance a little bit. There's a blossoming romance there for sure.

21:05 - Teen Wolf - Season 5B Finale - Jeff Davis EW Interview
Thanks to Ivan for the heads up.
“There’s hope for Mason,” Davis says. “It all lies with Scott’s desire to save everyone, especially his determination that Liam will not lose his best friend. Scott was able to save his own best friend, so he’s determined that Liam will have a fighting chance to save Mason.”
But not everyone has a best friend to help them out. Malia, for example, is going to have to face her mother on her own. Okay, so she might have a little help from Braeden, but let’s face it: Claws trump guns. Regardless, it’s time for Malia to get at least a little closure, right? “Yes, but not enough,” Davis says. “We like to leave a few little crumbs here and there to allow us to bring characters back. Malia’s going to have to have difficulty in the future with finding the right sort of parental figures since her parents are the Desert Wolf and Peter. But in terms of defining her powers, I think we’ll definitely get some closure on that.”

23:05 - Agents of SHIELD - Season 3B - Clark Gregg EW Interview
Thanks to Alex Forrest for the heads up.
“I’m pretty sure Coulson feels very conflicted about what he’s just done in a world where it’s constantly being pointed out to us how important it is that the people responsible for protecting us adhere to a higher standard, don’t carry out personal vendettas, and don’t respond to anger,” Gregg tells EW. “Coulson has crossed that line. It’s a moment that’s between him and Fitz [Iain De Caestecker], because Fitz witnessed it, and that dynamic between them and their mutual ambivalence about what’s happened and what they both did on the planet, to a certain extent, will play out in those first episodes. I don’t think Coulson has any idea that by doing this thing, that there will be anything more than the karmic moral implications that are upsetting to him, but he’s going to find out that the literal payback for what he’s done is beyond anything that he can possibly imagine.”

23:05 - UnReal - Season 2 - Bruce Davison, Christopher Cousins, and Lindsay Musil Join Cast

Relative newcomer Lindsay Musil (MTV’s Scream reboot) will be one of the women vying for the heart of Britt’s character on Everlasting. Musil will play Beth Ann, a small-town Alabama woman who speaks her mind without a filter, and is cast on the dating show to stir up controversy.

20:20 - Agents of SHIELD - Season 3B - Brett Dalton TVLine Interview
Next month marks the two-year anniversary of when Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s Grant Ward chose not to execute mentor John Garrett aka The Clairvoyant and instead gun down a pair of S.H.I.E.L.D. guards and then Victoria Hand herself (putting two in the floor for good measure). The betrayal marked the ABC series’ first pre-Captain America: The Winter Solider bombshell, yet set in motion a pattern that would separate Brett Dalton from his castmates for the forseeable future.
“I’ve been splintered from the cast since I became a double agent,” Dalton notes. “And unfortunately, that has been one of the saddest things for me, because I love these guys so much and I don’t get to work with them as often as I like.”
Has Dalton ever felt hurt by the storyline-dictated segregation? “No,” he says. “I’ve gotten bumps and bruises from some of the fight scenes, but emotionally I’m still relatively intact — as much as one could hope for!”
