Grabbing The Scoop Virgin River, Supernatural, S.W.A.T., Chicago Fire,

 Read on for answers to those questions plus teases from other shows!

Any scoop on Virgin River‘s Mel and Jack? –Bennie

EP Jocelyn Freid says that “when it comes to their relationship, Jack and Mel continue to face obstacles” in Season 2, which hits Netflix on Nov. 27. “Charmaine’s pregnancy continues to complicate their relationship and the choices they make, as does Mel’s past life with her husband,” Freid added. “But make no mistake, Mel and Jack’s connection is undeniable and they will fight to stay together whatever it takes.”

How will Mom change with Christy/Anna Faris suddenly gone? –Dee

“This season is really about the ensemble, which means we are going to get the opportunity to get to know all our characters better,” says co-creator Gemma Baker. For example, “We will see Wendy (played by Beth Hall) make a decision that comes as a big surprise to the group.”

Long time reader, first time asker (I think). Is there any word on if the Mad About You revival will be made available to stream on a platform other than Spectrum? I grew up on the original and it’s killing me not being able to access the episodes. –Will S.

Right?? It’s a bit odd that a broadcaster didn’t snatch up those 12 episodes as fall schedule filler that most people truly haven’t had any chance to watch. I asked around and, alas, the revival episodes have not yet found a non-Spectrum home.

Can you tell me if Kenny Johnson has left S.W.A.T.? He has not filmed anything for Season 4 (premiering Nov. 11) and they began filming in August. –Natasha

Let’s just say that the looks of social media can be deceiving. “We have a few twists with Luca, especially early on, where we’re going to have him working on a larger project that may take him out of the city of Los Angeles,” EP Aaron Rahsaan Thomas teased during our in-depth Fall Preview Q&A. “But I don’t want to reveal too much just yet with that.”

When is Heartland coming back? –Brandy

Are you asking on behalf of Canada (where Season 14 is set to air on CBC and CBC Gem in early 2021), or here in the US of A (where UP tv has not yet penciled in a timeframe)?

Will there be a Stellaride proposal/wedding this season on Chicago Fire? –Sarah

Showrunner Derek Haas gave us this cheeky answer when asked about what’s next for the couple: “I think they should take that next step at some point. Don’t you?”

Since Chicago Med’s Ethan is a specialist in infectious disease, will his expertise be use this season? –Aurora

The medical drama will “absolutely” tap into the doc’s expertise as part of its COVID storyline, co-showrunner Diane Frolov says. In fact, “when we first see Ethan, he is working in the special COVID ICU.”

Do you have any Magnum P.I. scoop on Higgins’s new love interest? —Emilie


Dr. Ethan Shah (played by Daredevil‘s Jay Ali), a confident and charming surgeon at Kings Medical Hospital, first meets Higgins in the season premiere, when she gets injured. After

successfully performing surgery on Higgins — and thus when she’s no longer his patient — he asks her out to dinner. And she presumably says yes!

I know you can’t reveal much about the Supernatural series finale (airing Nov. 19), but can you at least tell us if Sam and Dean will have a common ending (either they both live or they both die)? I don’t want my boys to be separated in the very end. — Maria

“Sam and Dean started this journey together, and they are ending this journey together,” co-showrunner Andrew Dabb affirms. “Do they end it in the same place? Do they end it in the same way? Are they both on the same page when it ends? That remains to be seen in the last episode. But the show started about these two guys, and it ends about these two guys.” BONUS SCOOP!: In order to save Jack, Dean, Sam and Cas are “going to go to great lengths, and some huge sacrifices are going to be made along the way,” Misha Collins previews.
